Lol it happened. It was a joke from me but I have heard it on frequency.

My fav plane right now is the 321 :) The best thing about being pilot is a good landing. Sometimes I do a walkaround and think to myself,…

Looks pretty reasonable to me. Domestically VNA is pretty reliable. Vietjet is a bit less since their aircraft roll over is higher. But…

It has the potential to interfere with the signal of the navigation system. Having said that, I personally haven’t seen it happened yet.…

Very basic math. Mostly just x3 or /3 and /2. Easy peasy. That said, it’s funny seeing new pilots lose their most basic math skill while…

No I’m flying at 9pm tonight. :-(. What’s the flight number ?

16/08/2024 - 10:15
Yep on our way to Bombay. We reverted to old means of navigation with heading and track.

First solo is what every pilot remembers. I remember it very vividly although that was 7 years ago. The very first landing on my 321 was…
