I just took this beauty for a drive. I have to say that I’m thoroughly impressed with its handling and general feel, not to mention it’s incredibly low fuel burn! I just wish it wouldn’t take 2 minutes to start each engine. 😂 #aviation #Boeing #b737MAX

I hope @British_Airways are pleased with their new social media policy. How exactly do they think the next generation of pilots will be inspired when they decide to cut the only public window that currently exists to the cockpit? I’m all for rules but only thoughtful ones.
Beautiful sunset over France on the way back from Lyon this evening. Unfortunately not currently able to post photos of it to social media, so please enjoy this artists impression instead.

Sometimes that’s what you have to do. It all depends on the weather and available airports to divert to. But with this, maybe we can lay to rest the silly assumption that Ryanair always carry minimum fuel?

This is an excellent example of the dangers of an engine failure at low speed. Note how the aircraft immediately veers right? That’s because the rudder is not aerodynamically effective yet and the pilots must reduce thrust IMMEDIATELY to keep control of the aircraft. Well done!
