Although we are all familiar with the fuels used for automobiles, motorcycles or land vehicles in general, fewer people are familiar with jet fuel.
Aircraft use a different fuel than land vehicles because, with more powerful engines, the fuel specifications are also different.
One of the most important tasks for success is flight planning. To the untrained eye, it may seem that this exercise consists only of drawing a line between the departure airport and the destination airport, but in reality it is much more complex.
Flight planning consists of creating the flight route taking into account no-fly zones, restrictions, weather, altitude, among many other things.
One of the phenomena that most influences the course of a flight is the ground effect. This effect can cause difficulties at the moment of landing. With the necessary knowledge and skills, this aerodynamic phenomenon can be dealt with safely while minimizing its effect.
An aircraft’s navigation system is the electronic system responsible for providing the pilot with all flight information so that he/she can focus on piloting.
At EAS we continue to improve our infrastructure in order to offer a better experience and learning to our students. On 28 October 2022 we inaugurated our new hangar at Sabadell Airport, where our students carry out their internships.
Keeping up to date with airline news is a key factor if you want to know the industry in depth. Knowing about the world’s largest commercial airlines will give you an idea of how the industry works and how big it is.
Monitoring is one of the most unknown tasks of a pilot. Beyond the control of the aircraft, the pilot is also in charge of supervising that everything is working properly in order to prevent risks during the flight.
The aviation industry has come a long way over the last century. To ensure that the industry grows in a healthy way, to control the expansion of markets, the emergence of new companies and to make sure that the whole industry follows the established rules, regulatory organizations such as EASA or FAA have been created. Although both have the same objective, there are differences between FAA and EASA.
The flight deck is one of the most interesting parts of the aircraft. Everyone is curious to know what it is like, who works in that room and what instruments it has. If you want to be a pilot, the flight deck will be your working environment and knowing it in depth will allow you to be a better professional.
When we fly, we rarely stop to think about the many physical factors that enable us to fly. One such example is the fact that we can breathe easy at over 12,000 metres. The answer lies in cabin pressurization.
