Airline Safety Tips

Due to the events of 11 September 2001, there have been a variety of changes in the air travel in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. In addition to advice on this page, also provides other information related to the current air travel situation:

Fly on Nonstop Routings
Most accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent, [...]

Helicopter

A helicopter is an aircraft which is lifted and propelled by one or more horizontal rotors consisting of two or more rotor blades. Helicopters are classified as rotorcraft to distinguish them from fixed-wing aircraft because the helicopter derives its source of lift from the rotor blades rotating around a mast. In fact, the word ‘helicopter’ [...]

Air Traffic Control

Air traffic control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and in the air. A controller’s primary task is to separate certain aircraft — to prevent them from coming too close to each other horizontally or vertically. Secondary tasks include ensuring orderly and expeditious flow of traffic and [...]

Runway

A runway is a strip of land on an airport, on which aircraft can take off and landing. Runways may be a prepared surface (often asphalt, concrete, or a mixture of both) or an unprepared surface (grass, dirt, or gravel).
Orientation and dimensions
Runways are generally numbered according to the magnetic direction in which they point (referred [...]

Landing

Landing is the last part of a flight, where a flying animal or aircraft returns to the ground. When the flying object returns to water, the process is called alighting, although it is commonly called “landing” as well. Hitting the ground too hard is prevented by wings (including rotor wings), a parachute or rockets or [...]

Take Off

Takeoff is the phase of flight in which an aircraft goes through a transition from moving along the ground (taxiing) to flying in the air, usually on a runway. For balloons, helicopters and some specialized fixed-wing aircraft (VTOL aircraft such as the Harrier), no runway is needed. Takeoff is the opposite of landing.

Airport

An airport is a facility where aircraft such as airplanes and helicopters can take off and landing. An airport minimally consists of one runway or helipad (for helicopters), but other common components are hangars and terminal buildings.
Additionally, an airport may have a variety of facilities and infrastructure, including fixed base operator services, air traffic control, [...]
