Why trimming makes you fly safer
What is trimming? Controlling an aircraft is a complex task. There are a lot of things you need to think about – pitch & power, yaw, roll… Read more “Why trimming makes you fly safer”
5 dangerous attitudes in aviation
There are certain attitudes we all have. Some of them impose a risk in aviation. Especially when they are not ‘balanced’ with opposite behaviour.
