It is very common nowadays to use the airplane as a means of transportation for trips, especially if they are long. When buying airline tickets, it is not usual to look at the type of flight you are going to take, so today we explain the types of commercial flights that exist and their characteristics.

I already have the title of pilot, and now how can I become a flight commander?
For all those people who don’t know how to become a flight commander, they should know that they have a long way to go, it’s not just about getting a pilot’s license and having conquered sleep. Many ask: I am already a pilot, and now how can I become a flight commander? Once you obtain the Commercial Pilot License (CPL), pilots need to continue training in order to obtain other licenses and eventually become flight commanders. All these trainings that have to be carried out and the necessary procedures, we will explain in this blog.
Physical and psychotechnical tests of the pilots
In this new blog, we will talk about the physical and psychotechnical tests of pilots. All those tests you have to pass to get your license. We will emphasize each test that must be passed, all the details of the process and what are the cases that may be suitable and those that would be unfit.
The Fly-by-wire system in aircraft control
In a previous article, we talked about how to help the autopilot to reduce the workload of the pilots during flight. This time we are going to emphasize the Fly-by-wire system patented by Airbus.
Solar energy in aviation
If a few years ago someone had told us that it was possible to power an airplane solely and exclusively by solar energy, we would not have believed it. Today this is already an incipient reality, at an experimental level of course, but it can mean a before and after in the history of aviation.
How to manage turbulence
Although generally not visible, in the presence of water vapor or smoke turbulence can appear in the form of eddies. They are often called ‘waves of the sky’.
Flight simulators: everything you need to know
Those who want to learn to fly, either professionally or by testing themselves with new challenges, should know that an important part of their instruction will be carried out thanks to flight simulators.
The use of flight simulators in the training programs to obtain certain qualifications, such as instrument flight (IR), allows the student’s capabilities to be exponentially expanded in extremely diverse situations and scenarios, allowing to analyze, stop or repeat the maneuvers as many times as necessary to achieve optimal technification. Next, we explain what a flight simulator consists of, and in what situations its use is essential.
The World’s Largest Aircraft Engines
Throughout the little more than one hundred years of aviation history, airplanes and their means of propulsion have evolved and adapted. From primitive internal combustion engines and propellers to today’s …
The new airlines of 2021
Despite the fact that in 2020 many airlines were forced to cease their activity due to the covid19 pandemic, investors and entrepreneurs – with government support in many cases (30,000 million euros in aid granted in the EU during the pandemic) – have shown its confidence in the aviation sector as one of the engines for the recovery of the post-covid world economy, and for this reason it has already started the appearance of new airlines and the refloating of many of the existing ones.
