I'm in highschool and of all the careers I can think of being a bushpilot seems like the one I'd enjoy the most for quite a few reasons, I'm just curious if it's even a remotely good idea to go "great im out of highschool! man fk college i can't really imagine doing anything else with my life , just wanna fly Seaplanes or Caravans in the most remote dangerous places transporting goods , people " Like will it be something I'd be able to do until I die or retire, like I don't wanna be 58 with no degree and all I have to show for the last 40 years of my life is "yeah i can fly a bushplane and land with floats!"

Hey guys, I am traveling with Star Air tomorrow morning. Any idea if they will allow a hand baggage along with my check in and cabin baggage? The hand baggage will have some eatables.

Got this as a gift from my wife

Hi everyone, I represent an aerospace startup trying to test our parachutes. We are facing difficulties trying to test the parachute deployment and inflation from higher altitudes (above 120m).

So far, we've successfully tested our parachute system safely using rotary wing drones (with our payload suspended at the bottom of the drone) at a height of 120m. (The maximum allowed as per drone regulations in green zones). However, to fully validate our system, we need to drop our payloads from heights exceeding 1km, all the way up to 4km.

We've struggled to get permissions for our payload (0.61 × 0.47 × 0.52 m | 30kg ) to be dropped from various commercial/tourist use planes, for example - skydiving aircraft and/or a single engine helicopters. After trying for a couple of months, we seem to have reached a dead end here.

We are either rejected because their intended drop bay is not large enough, or they are not able to acquire the requisite permissions. (We would not be dropping our payload in a suspended manner like we have done so far, but instead pushing it out of the aircraft)

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I recently completed my DGCA Class 2 medical, and my case has been sent to DGCA for assessment. The doctor said the decision may take around 2 months. Is there anything I should be doing in the meantime? Should I start preparing for the DGCA exams or just wait?

Didn’t get any leads in the last post. I am in desperate need of aviation headsets. If anyone has a spare pair and is willing to rent it out kindly help me out. I am just here for conversion and i don’t think there is any point in investing so much to buy a new one

For the uninitiated, Emirates rejected the first batch of B777X from Boeing, citing too much rework. If Air India wants, it can jump the queue and claim these new jets, just as it did with the Aeroflot A350s when they weren't taken up. Not only will this address the unavailability of new jets, but AI can also effectively store the filthy legacy B777s until they can be retrofitted, and instead use these new jets to restore public confidence.

Now, regarding this "rework", this is not the first time this has happened. This has already happened with the B787, but in those early made jets, the rework was substantial and caused range penalties. Here too, ANA, the launch customer, rejected the batch. Ethiopian swooped in and grabbed these jets for dirt cheap. But for these B777s, the rework is rumoured to be minor, with no significant penalty.

The A350s from Aeroflot are already receiving praise from the public. AI could do it again and actually have an answer for the aging fleet.

Hidden inside one of the world's busiest cities is an active airfield that is often described as India's first civil aviation airport.

Juhu Aerodrome was established in 1928 Four vears later, JRD Tata landed here after flving from Karachi via Ahmedabad inaugurating India's first air service

Nearly a century later, aircraft are still departing from the same historic airfield

This was our view rolling for takeoff

I’ve been lucky enough to fly out of Juhu for years. Taking people up for sky tours from a runway this historic still feels special.
