Moore County Airport’s Post

𝗙𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 are often used to deliver new 🛩️ aircraft to customers, move aircraft from one base to another, or reposition aircraft for 🛠️ maintenance or repairs. They can be conducted by any type of aircraft, but they are most common with large commercial airliners and private jets. Ferry flights can be long and challenging, but they are an important part of the aviation industry. A cost-benefit analysis should be undertaken on a case-by-case basis to determine whether or not ferry flights are a viable option for a given airline.

Alaska Air crash fallout: DGCA orders Indian airlines for urgent checks on Max aircraft #travel #airlines #aviation #tourism #hospitality #airport #aircraft #Flight #traffic #new #news #BREAKING #BreakingNews #NewsAlert #NewsUpdate #newsletter #viralpost #virals #international #Bangladesh #BD #monitornews

Maritime Aviation are delighted to be meeting with insurers in London today to discuss the risks associated with operating helicopters on board 'superyachts'. As the number of 'aviation capable' large yachts afloat increases, are current regulations and standards mitigating the risk effectively. Moreover, should their be minimum operating standards for those large yachts with operating 'non commercial shipboard heliports'? #superyachts #helicopters #superyachtaviation #maritimeaviation #aviationsafety #maritimesafety

You may have noticed that #aircraft passengers always board planes from the left side, and you may have wondered why. 🤔 Here are three intriguing reasons: ✈️ Keeping passengers and ground crew apart. Passenger boarding on the left side keeps ground crew duties on the right undisturbed. With tasks like fueling and loading bags happening on the right, this strategic separation minimizes interference, ensuring efficient and safe operations. ✈️ Historical legacy. In the early days, planes taxied closer to terminals, and captains, sitting on the left side, needed the best view for precise parking. Consequently, passengers boarded from the left, a tradition that persists even as parking strategies have evolved. ✈️ Nautical tradition. Just like maritime practices, where boarding typically occurs from the left side due to the ‘steer board’ on the right side of boats, the aviation industry adopted a similar approach. This tradition unites different modes of transportation. So, next time you’re in the boarding queue, remember — it’s not just a matter of habit but a thoughtful strategy rooted in safety, history, and tradition. 🙌 #AviaSolutionsGroup #AviationIndustry #Aviation

Winter weather adds a whole new level to #airportoperations! Enjoy this #timelapse of various winter operations tasks being completed at #TheNewT5. Removing snow and ice from an #aircraft that has been sitting at the gate is one such task. Here you can see Austrian Airlines' #B777 being deiced. #Deicing is the process of spraying aircraft with chemicals that help remove the buildup of snow and ice. This is an essential part of the departure process in the winter, since snow and ice can prevent aircraft from generating enough lift to fly! Clearing snow from runways, taxiways, and ramp areas is a constant battle. In the background of this video you can see one of the snow removal teams from the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) - O'Hare & Midway International Airports performing this task. They are removing snow from the taxiways that connect the Terminal 5 ramp to the rest of the airfield. Let me know what other parts of #ORD's winter operations you would like to see from the #T5Tower! #aviation #chicago #airport #boeing #winter #ORD21

You would be surprised to know that… 🛫🛬 Commercial airport runways are typically 2 to 4 feet thick with layers of asphalt. Taxiways are usually thinner, with around 18 inches of concrete.🛣️ Airport runways and taxiways are subjected to high pressures and extreme mechanical stresses due to heavyweight airplanes' acceleration, takeoff and landing. Therefore, they have to be built and accomplished to very high standards otherwise fatal accidents and crashes occur.🛬🛫 #Aircraft #Aviation

Turning around a massive airplane in-between flights is a fascinating process that requires a symphony of precision, coordination, and skilled expertise. Refuelling, loading baggage, executing stringent safety checks, catering, and rigorous cleaning- each of these plays a significant role in getting the aircraft back up in the air as rapidly and as safely as possible. Exceptional teamwork, effective communication, and a well-oiled procedure help ensure a smooth transition. It's a testament to the dedicated professionals in the aviation industry that we often take this complex operation for granted as we sit back and enjoy our flight. Cheers to all those hard-working individuals who make this possible with an unfaltering commitment to safety, efficiency, and an outstanding passenger experience. #aviation #teamwork #efficiency #turnaround #airplanes #AirplaneTurnaround #AviationOperations #EfficientAircraftTurnaround #FlightOperations #AirlineEfficiency #PassengerExperience #AircraftMaintenance #GroundOperations #TurnaroundProcess #FlightPreparation #AirlineIndustry #TRC #Turnaround #aviationindustry #TurnarundCoordinator #FlightManagement #AircraftSafety #TurnaroundChallenges #CollaborativeTeamwork 👏✈️
