Airplane Crashes

As pilots it is very important to learn from others mistakes. We need to make sure that the pilots did not loss their lives for no reason, and make sure that this does not happen again. Their are plenty of air crashes that we can learn from. We need to make sure in ground schools that our instructors are bringing this up. If they are not, ask. Also make sure you are going over things that happen on the ground, including running out on a runway during fog. You can learn a lot by going over mistakes. It is a tragedy when someone losses their lives in an airplane crash, we as pilots are the ones who are solely responsible to make sure that it will never happen again. On July 28, 2010 Airblue flight 202 crashed killing all 152 people on board. This could have been avoided if the pilot would have not kept going the wrong way.

What type of school should I go to?

First off you need to ask yourself what do I want to do with this pilots licence? If you answered I want to fly for fun, then you can just go to an airport see if they do training, and if not ask where is the closest. All you will need is a part 61 flight school, they are a little more layed-back. Make sure that they have good maintenance, and nice aircraft. Also if you are going to fly make sure that they have insurance that will cover you in case of a mishap. Next ask yourself how far do I want to go. You will defiantly either need a sport pilot's license, or a private pilot's license. Then you have to see if you will want to fly in weather. (when you can't see the ground) If you do you will need to go get your IFR rating. (navigation based solely on the instruments. If you said you want to do it for a career then you will probably want to go to a part 141 flight school, because these are more exact, and also have the FAA come in periodically to check everything. You will also need to consider going to college to get a degree in aviation. Sure it will be harder and more expensive than others, but it will pay off when it comes to an interview.
