NOAA Reports Magnetic North is Moving
Why should you care where magnetic north is located? If you own a compass, GPS, or any other device dependent on the earth’s magnetic poles for information, they become inaccurate when magnetic north relocates. For any GPS, and this includes the ones on airplanes and ships critical for navigation, the correction is accomplished in the software.
However, Cork (Ireland) Airport and Geneva, Switzerland, have renamed their runways - to keep up with Earth's magnetic poles. Zurich, Switzerland airport might be the next, among many others.

Drone and Helicopter Touched Over LA
A news helicopter cruising at 87 knots and 1,100 feet hit a drone last night over Los Angeles. The 2004 Airbus Helicopters AS350B2 (A-Star) was being operated by long-time electronic news-gathering aviation and charter firm Helinet for TV station KABC. The drone punctured, dented, and scraped the leading edge of the right horizontal stabilizer immediately forward of the tail rotor.
The collision occurred over downtown Los Angeles at approximately 7:15 p.m. local time. Chris Christi, the news reporter aboard, said the impact initially sounded like a bird strike. It did not affect the ability of the pilot to control the helicopter, which made a safe precautionary landing.

Book Review: TO LIVE IS TO FLY





TO LIVE IS TO FLY: Memoirs of an Executive Pilot by Doris Daily is a swift peek inside the lifestyle of an executive corporate pilot. Early on, Doris had no great ambitions to be a pilot. A pilot needed to be good at mathematics and physics and that simply wasn’t Doris’s thing.

She was more interested in the arts and so, when a friend suggested she take a radio communication course, it ignited a passion inside her to learn to fly and to ultimately become a commercial pilot during a period when female commercial pilots were still a real rarity.

Living in Europe meant that her professional career was always going to offer unusual and exciting destinations with lots of variations. In this story, she documents the journey she took in a “man’s world” and how flying became as critical to her life as breathing.

Along the way she gives advice on how to avoid some of the pitfalls she encountered, especially as she makes a comparison of the pros and cons between commercial piloting for an airline and the corporate executive flying, which she preferred.

.
This is a book about a life that no doubt had its fair share of adventure. TO LIVE IS TO FLY: Memoirs of an Executive Pilot really is the story of one woman’s passion and love of aviation. 

.
Her sheer pleasure in her job shone through on every page. Author Doris Daily’s writing style is simple and uncomplicated and I found the anecdotes both funny and interesting.

Of special interest were her dealings with airport officials in Soviet Bloc countries both before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was fascinating to view the differences between the two Germanys that still clearly existed even after reunification.

As someone who has a deep fascination with air travel and has never pursued it, Doris Daily’s story allowed me to vicariously live the life of a pilot and understand that it is not always about glamour and glitz - it is the love of flying that commands pilots to stick at it.

I thought her comparisons between the life of an airline pilot and that of an executive corporate pilot were very telling and it was clear she felt she had made the right choice of a career path in aviation. This is a fascinating read and I can definitely recommend this book.
