Merry Christmas!! 🎄 My first time flying on Christmas Day and spirits were high. Boosted by some pressies from the company 😊 Hope everyone has a lovely day!
A testament to the precision of modern avionics. SQ1 overtakes us 1000ft below on TCAS and activated our radio altimeter confirming 1000ft separation and triggering our “1000” auto callout

Why I prefer the window seat! ✈️ Great view of Buckingham Palace, London Eye and Westminster as well as Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. Great flight from NCL captained by the famous

“Goodnight Malaysian 370”. The last words spoken by

to ATC as it passed this waypoint on a routine handover from Kuala Lumpur to Ho Chi Minh. Gives me chills everytime I pass IGARI and I am given the same routine frequency change 😔
When one of your best friends is captaining the aircraft in front it brings back those aeroclub feelings! ✈️ Waiting our turn to launch into a beautiful summer day in Hong Kong

Calm and composed...I’m sure all the training can not prepare for real life emotions but this amount of professionalism shows why we are not just glorified taxi drivers 👨🏻✈️👩✈️
"We have a part of the aircraft missing": Listen to the dramatic communications between the pilot of Southwest flight 1380 and air traffic control as plane from NYC comes into Philadelphia for emergency landing
One of my best landings ever 🛬 So smooth you couldn’t feel it!

Turns out the instructor forgot to switch the motion on in the sim! 😂

2017 has been a big year. Lots of uncertainties at the beginning but I am ending with a smile and thankful that all my life choices have ended well. Looking forward to new and challenging times to come in 2018 🎉
Happy New Year!

Highest elevation airport I’ve operated to. Less dense atmosphere meant our true airspeed on approach was higher than normal and engines worked extremely hard on takeoff

One good sleep thanks to a flat bed and a quiet A380 cabin and I wake up in London with great weather. Thanks to
@Cptchalkywhite
who I think commanded the flight?
The Lufthansa Airbus A340-300 (D-AIFA) that suffered extensive fire damage today during tow at Frankfurt Intl Airport, Germany received irrepairable damage and is highly like to be considered a hull loss.
Congratulations to my first Cathay Dragon Aviation Certificate mentee Sam! A great first step to joining the industry and becoming a pilot
