Did you know? Aircraft can accumulate static electricity from air friction during flight, which can potentially disrupt flight systems. The solution? Static wicks—small wires on the leading edges of aircraft that gradually dissipate static electricity. ⚡✈️ We spoke with Carly Kurzava, a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) in the Allegiant Altitude Pilot Pathway, for a brief explanation of these essential components and how they help keep us safe in the air!

We are proud at McAir Aviation to have a Redbird Flight Simulator to help train our students. ✈ The Redbird MCX is ideal for any flight school, providing enhanced training from student pilots to professional crew. The dual controls of the MCX allow an instructor, instructor-in-training, or co-pilot to perform maneuvers from the right seat. During initial pilot training, an instructor can demonstrate maneuvers from the right seat before the student tries their hand, just like you would do in a real aircraft.

Ever wonder what it takes to become a pilot? It's not just about soaring through the skies—it's about training in a diverse range of skills! Pilots often study meteorology as they delve into understanding weather patterns and their impact on flight. They study meteorological charts, weather forecasts, and observe weather conditions to make informed decisions about flying. Understanding weather phenomena like wind patterns, turbulence, and storms is crucial for safe flight planning and navigation. ✈️
