What exactly does a Front Desk Dispatcher at a small flight school & small airport do?
I was looking for my first job and generally applied to a flight school. They said a spot is opening in December since their old one is leaving, so I was curious what exactly they do so I can be a little prepared.
extra info I’m curious about: I’ve never really applied to jobs before, and this is my first experience getting this far. They responded within 15 minutes of me sending in my resume, said they really liked my resume and that I’m a pilot (I have my PPL), and they are looping me in with the office manager & mentioning training before December rolls around. It seems like a good sign, though I haven’t gotten a full job offer yet. It’s only been an email interaction so far, so it makes sense, but I hope this all means they’re really interested in me for the position. Any advice is appreciated!!!

Who gets to say "see ya"?
I'm an operations specialist at an airport with limited tower hours so I often find myself conducting FOD checks or airfield inspections talking to traffic over CTAF. I, myself am not a pilot though, just the ground stuff for now.
Sometimes when im out there, a pilot leaves our airspace and bestows upon me a proper "Seeyah."
Its fun and very cool, but something I assume is reserved for the pilots and controllers.. right?
So I ask yall, what qualifications must someone have before they've earned a "see ya" card?

I just lost another friend.
Five months ago, I posted about a bush pilot in Alaska who died while trying to land a Cessna. Just a few days ago, another one of my friends died in Tarrant county.
https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/second-victim-in-tarrant-county-plane-crash-identified/
I’m not a pilot. But you guys helped explain a lot of details about the specific strip where my friend Daniel was trying to land. I’m hoping you guys can maybe give me some insight into this crash. He was flying a Beechcraft King Air C90.
Eyewitness and surveillance video captured the airplane in a rapid descent / nose-down impact shortly before it hit the parking lot area and trailers; news accounts describe the plane’s wing touching pavement and then a severe impact and large fireball. Those videos and news reporting show the final moments were a very steep descent prior to ground impact.

Second victim in deadly Tarrant County plane crash identified as pilot's father
The widow of Michael Daly, the pilot of the Beechcraft small plane, said in a Facebook post that the plane's deceased passenger was the pilot's father.
Passed my PPL Checkride!!
Passed the check ride today after a rough go on my first attempt with a different DPE and I feel like I’m on cloud 9, wondering how long will the euphoria last for. Best tips for instrument?

Emirates Flight Training Academy: Broken Promises and Hidden Accidents
Emirates Flight Training Academy (EFTA) has some serious issues that the public should know about.
Job promises: While not advertised publicly, students were privately assured during campus visits that completing the program could lead to Emirates or partner airline jobs. Many graduates are now left without any offers.
Restricted freedom: Students aren’t allowed to leave the campus during weekdays, even when they have no scheduled classes. Imagine you are forced to stay in campus for weeks yet not have single flight just because that's the policy.
Course length: The program is advertised as 2 years, but in reality, it takes 3 years or more to complete. For comparison, similar courses at other academies are usually finished in about a year.
Safety concerns: At least three accidents have occurred at the academy, including one just two weeks ago. All were kept secret from the public.
Despite its modern facilities and Emirates branding, EFTA has a concerning record on transparency, safety, and student treatment.

We're Martin-Baker - the worlds leading manufacturer of Ejection Seats that have saved
over 7,800 aircrew to date. Ask us anything!
Hi r/aviation,
Over the years we've seen great discussion on this sub about Ejection Seats! Most recently on a post about Martin-Baker surpassing 7,800 lives saved since 1949 \- and perhaps more commonly about 'Goose' from Top Gun!
We'll be here on Tuesday 21st October to answer your questions about all things Ejection Seats: • How do modern Ejection Seats differ to older ones? • How do you test an Ejection Seat and do you use real humans!? • What does testing look like a Zero/Zero versus near-Mach speeds? • How can we accommodate a wide range of aircrew for safe ejection? • Was there a form of Aircrew Escape before the Ejection Seat?
We'll do our best to answer all of your questions throughout the day. There are a few boundaries: we can't discuss classified programmes or details of specific aircraft accidents - but we're happy to talk about the science, testing and history behind what we do!

Some SAABs that I've been photographing under the night sky. Luckily they sat still so they were pretty easy to spot.
