Picture of the Day: Landing on ice
Lincoln Benedict submitted this photo and note: "Erik Langerbach pilots his Maule into the Alton Bay Ice runway in New Hampshire during a popular weekend in 2021."

I am not a volunteer, but maybe you should be
The AOPA Foundation Ambassadors aren't volunteers, but all three recognize the importance of volunteers to the success of general aviation, whether it's in a flying club or at EAA AirVenture, the biggest airshow in the world.

Fresno youth aviation initiative gets a $180,000 lift
Founded in 2018 at Chandler Airport in Fresno, the Next Generation Aviation Academy is reaching out to kids of color and low-income neighborhoods to help them train for careers in aviation.

FAA awards $5 million in grants for the next generation of pilots
The Aircraft Pilots Aviation Workforce Development Grants were awarded to a variety of higher-education institutions, high schools, state and local governments and flight schools.

Weather, backcountry flying and NTSB insights part of new webinars
The AOPA Air Safety Institute is launching four new webinar series in 2022, including NTSB Insider, Flight Deck Tech, Flying the Backcountry, and Weather Flying.

Mechanic’s error leads to MayDay call
At about 7 nm out and 3,000 feet the propeller RPM began climbing sharply well beyond 2,600 RPM. I tried to change the prop and throttle settings to get the prop RPMs back under control and I had no success getting the RPMs out of the red. This continued for a short time (well under a minute) and I distinctly remember a bang, and then smoke began to fill the cabin. I opened the small window to my left in an attempt to clear the smoke and I continued to fly the plane.

Picture of the Day: Shadow chasing in Nevada
Dana Vanderark submitted this photo and note: "Chased my shadow around this morning. He is a rock solid wingman!"

Are aviation lubricants compatible?
The non-aviation world is fairly forgiving on compatibility. In the aviation world you will be OK if you use a qualified engine oil. But for grease, the only safe bet is to use the grease that is recommended for each lubrication point.

EPA sets sights on lead emissions from general aviation aircraft
Under the Clean Air Act, EPA reviews information on air pollutants and sources of air pollution to determine whether they threaten human health or welfare. This is referred to as an 'endangerment finding.' EPA officials said in a Jan. 12, 2022, announcement that the plan is to issue a proposed endangerment finding for piston-engine aircraft that run on leaded fuel in 2022 for public review and comment.

Tuskegee Airman Charles McGee flies west
One of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen - and perhaps the most well-known - Charles McGee died Jan. 16, 2022. He was 102.

IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP - Rod Machado

'Hey Rod, tomorrow I'm taking my little airplane out to see what it can do. I'll see ya later...'
Those were the last words I ever heard my best friend speak. I never saw him again. The next day, his newly-assembled ultralight airplane disassembled in flight, for reasons suspected but officially unknown. READ THE BLOG ARTICLE!

The Forgotten Mechanic - Rod Machado

Here's today's riddle: Name something that all pilots need and use all the time, often don't know by name, and depend on completely for the safety of every flight. The answer isn't obvious, and neither is this person, who frequently remains totally hidden at your local flying school or airport. Need a clue? How about tools, grease and safety wire? I'm speaking of your local aviation mechanic.

Weber's Law - Rod Machado

If you closed your eyes, held out a cup, and asked someone to gently pour water in it, how much liquid would need to be added before you noticed a change in weight? One drop? Probably not.

Rod Machado's 40-Hour Private Pilot ELearning Ground School - Rod Machado

Thinking about learning to fly? Do you want to fly for a living? Would you like to refresh your knowledge for your flight review? If so, then the place to start is with Rod Machado's new 40-hour+ private pilot eLearning ground school. This eLearning course prepares you to take the private pilot knowledge exam and provides the foundation of knowledge needed to make your flight training a more enjoyable experience.

MORE

It's a Long Way Down, isn't it? - Rod Machado

Psst! Psst! Come here. Come a little bit closer. I've got something I want to ask you, and I don't want anyone else to hear. Are you afraid of heights? It's probably embarrassing to admit it, but if you're like most other pilots, the answer is Yes.

MORE

Pilots, Poets and Psychologists - Rod Machado

Mention the word poetry to a pilot and he'll act like he's in a hotel fire. He'll think: get low, get down, get out. Admittedly, even I get the heebie-jeebies at the mere mention of haiku (that's Japanese poetry, not the sound of someone sneezing). But poetry is more than cute rhymes with tinkered words. It's an alternate means of learning some of aviation psychology's most important lessons.

MORE

The Prevalence Error - Why We Look But Do Not See - Rod Machado

Recently, I was having a difficult time seeing things that were in plain view. I was even thinking about visiting the Our Lady of Fatima Optometry Center, where their motto is, "If we can't correct your vision, at least you can have one."

MORE

Runway Safety Madness - Tonque N' Cheek - Rod Machado

Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt. That's my new strategy for preventing runway incursions. It's a reasonable plan, given that these events have actually increased since the FAA began seriously collecting statistics on the issue. That's right. Despite the implementation of new rules and airport signage, incursions continue to increase year after year (about a 25% increase since 2013). If I were superstitious I might suggest we stop doing things to reduce runway incursions so that their numbers will decrease to some previous level. Unfortunately the "Don't look at it and it will go away" trick probably won't work here.

MORE

The Stall Horn Fallacy of Stall Prevention - Rod Machado

News flash! The Mona Lisa's eyebrows are missing. That's right. Gone! Some say they were scrubbed off during an early restoration. I suspect they were vaporized when Leonardo had Mona over for a pre-portrait barbecue and he took excessive liberty with the lighter fluid. While I didn't attend a BBQ, my eyebrows are also missing. At least they appeared to disappear as they rose above my forehead in surprise at the FAA's and ACS committee's dumbing-down of standards for commercial pilot certification.

MORE

Be Here Now! - Rod Machado

Over the years, I've seen my grandfather do a number of strange things. One time, while watching football on TV, he sat there yelling at the players. I couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, they can't hear you." He replied, "Oh yeah, that's right, they got their helmets on."

MORE

The Middle-Aged Aviator - Rod Machado

Over the years, I've heard many stories about middle-aged pilots (45-65 years) who gave up flying due to a sudden onset of anxiety. Apparently this wasn't induced by any specific aviation trauma nor inspired by the relatively small and perfectly normal decline of reflexes and mental agility experienced by most middle aged pilots. What in the world might spook a 50-ish pilot into abandoning something he obviously once loved to do?

MORE

Suburi Training - How to Get the Most Out of a Flight Simulator - Rod Machado

The 1984 movie The Karate Kid revealed a rare pedagogical truth of immense value to flight instructors. The movie centers around Daniel, who volunteers to polish the car and sand the deck of his neighbor Mr. Miyagi (a martial arts master).
