Weather phenomena are a fundamental aspect of aviation. Weather information is critical for decision making in flight planning, flight routing, maintaining safety during flight, and preventing aircraft accidents. In addition, weather and meteorological conditions can significantly affect aircraft performance, navigation, and communication between crew members and air traffic control.
Take-off maneuver: Everything you need to know
In aviation, the take-off maneuver is one of the essential phases of flight. It consists of the aircraft leaving the support surface (land, water, aircraft carrier, …). The purpose of the maneuver is to achieve the aerodynamic effect known as lift, which will allow the aircraft to fly.
How is the loading of an aircraft carried out?
The airplane is a means of transportation that allows us to move large amounts of cargo over long distances in a relatively short time. That is why, over the years, air transport has become one of the most efficient. Today we are going to discover how to load an airplane.

Safest airlines in 2023
The airplane is currently the safest means of transport in the world, with a much lower accident rate than other means of transport. Even so, if you want to know the world of aviation in depth, it is interesting to review the report prepared by Airline Ratings annually, which reviews the safest airlines in the world.
Aircraft fuel: types and characteristics
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.
Flight planning: how it’s done
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.
What is the ground effect?
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.
