The Nelson Air Cadets, including four members from Nakusp, recently had the chance to see the world from a different angle as they took part in their first flying exercises of the year at the Trail Regional Airport.
The Air Cadet League in British Columbia owns six tow planes and twelve gliders. Those airplanes are owned by the Civilian Air Cadet League, and the military operates them. These aircraft were brought to Trail to give the three local air cadet squadrons, Trail, Castlegar and Nelson, a chance to go flying.

The Transportation Safety Board renewed its call for flight data or cockpit voice recorders to be carried on smaller planes after a jet crash last week in British Columbia killed four people including former Alberta premier Jim Prentice.
Without the recorders, the board said the investigation into the crash Thursday near Kelowna of the Cessna Citation will be "particularly challenging," adding that it first recommended the devices in 1991.

From the outside, the single-engine Cessna Caravan that took off from a small airport here on Monday looked unremarkable. But inside the cockpit, in the right seat, a robot with spindly metal tubes and rods for arms and legs and a claw hand grasping the throttle, was doing the flying. In left seat, a human pilot tapped commands to his mute colleague using an electronic tablet.

While there are dozens of two-seat kit aircraft designs to choose from, only a handful of companies offer a 4-seat model. Zenair offers not one, but TWO such models: The low-wing X-C Zodiac CH 640 and the high-wing STOL CH 801-HD. Both Lycoming-powered Canadian designs are highly valued by pilots looking for economy, performance and the ability to carry over 1,000 pounds with... More

Until a few months ago, if you wanted a bird's-eye view of North Korea's capital, there was basically only one option: a 492-foot-tall tower across the river from Kim Il Sung Square.
Now, if you have the cash, you can climb into the back seat of an ultralight aircraft.

"We're going to be in the Hudson." It was Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger announcing they were going to dead stick US Airways Flight 1549 into the Hudson River. It is a story most of us are familiar with. After the loss of both engines in their A320, Capt. Sullenberger and First Officer Jeff Skiles first intended to return to La Guardia and then decided they couldn’t make it. Next, they were offered Teterboro Airport, and Sully said, "We can't do it."

When the FAA released a new certification test for drone pilots last August — the 60-question Aeronautical Knowledge Test — the response was immediate: More than 3,300 people signed up on the first day to take the test. We shouldn't expect any drone pilot shortages in the near future.
The requirements are straightforward: If you are at least 16 years old and pass the FAA exam and a TSA review, you're cleared to fly commercial drones (recreational pilots don't need to do any of this).

"And now for something completely different." It was a line from that brilliant 1970s British television comedy show, Monty Python's Flying Circus, but it could just as easily be used to introduce The Airplane Factory's new, fits-into-its-own-niche airplane, the cheeky Sling 4.
A four-place cruiser that carries four adults, several hours' worth of fuel and a respectable baggage load, and consumes less than 6 gph, the Sling 4 does so in leather-wrapped comfort.
