Fly the Airplane

Not surprisingly, the No. 1 cause of general aviation accidents remains loss of control (LOC). Sadly, there’s an average of about one LOC event a week. However, these preventable accidents can happen anywhere in our aviation world. The most famous of these was Air France Flight 447. It was the evening of June 1, 2009, and Flight 447, a 4-year-old Airbus 330, was serenely cruising just below the equator at FL 360. Suddenly, one of the Airbus’ three redundant pitot tubes clogged with ice crystals.
The Next Generation

Like so many pilots, I didn’t have the luxury of growing up within an aviation family. Admittedly, my parents looked at me like I was crazy when I told them I wanted to learn how to fly. “Cayla, you don’t like math or science, how are you supposed to become a pilot?”At the time, I agreed, but being the stubborn 16-year-old that I was, I wanted to take flight in a small airplane just to see what it was all about.

There’s something about a little yellow tailwheel airplane that has always ignited my soul. After all, a Cub sitting on a hangar pad was what initially drew me to walk into the Ron Alexander Youth Aviation Program, an experience that changed the course of my life at just barely 16 years old. As I’ve progressed through this decade-long aviation journey, Cubs still catch my eye, but there’s one of a different variety that I’ve been dying to get my hands on.

As I settled back into my seat, I looked over to the first officer. We were about 15 minutes prior to departure, and things were all shaping up to be on time. “Hey, how’s about a preflight checkl-”“Interior and exterior inspections?”“Compl-”“Oxygen masks?”“Chec-”“Checked. CVR?”Chhhhheeeecccckkkkeeeedddddd. I waited a long moment before I replied. You could see tension building as I upset his rapid-fire recitation of the checklist.

The team here at Plane & Pilot couldn’t be busier. With warm, summer flying upon us, that’s how it should be, right? In the last month, I’ve added four new airplanes to my logbook, and I don’t say that to brag.

Bargain Buys on AircraftForSale: 1956 Beechcraft G35 Bonanza

3 weeks ago | planeandpilotmag.com | Jason McDowell

The mid-1950s saw a flurry of complex piston singles emerge from factories across the US. Cessna introduced the 182RG and 210, Piper introduced the Comanche and Mooney did the same with their M20 series. But among them, only one - Beechcraft’s Bonanza - saw extensive use in militaries around the world and evolved into a robust military trainer. And today’s example - a 1956 Beechcraft G35 Bonanza - is available on Aircraft For Sale for $67,500.

If asked to name one GA single-engine airplane that claims the roles of ultimate bushplane, STOL champion, military workhorse, movie star, arctic explorer, and even a little CIA intrigue thrown in for effect, the de Havilland Beaver comes immediately to mind. Powered by a hearty 9-cylinder, 450 hp Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp and boasting a useful load of over 2,000 pounds, this robust airplane has served with the militaries of over 35 countries.
