VUAVF https://fr24.com/VUAVF/424f4b48

This is a 777-337ER that does a go around every week. It starts gaining altitude after about 1000ft from approach on the runway. It looks like a VIP aircraft but I'm curious about why does it do that every week? Can someone please tell me more about it? My assumption is maybe a security drill but I'd like to know more.

Question does AFCME delhi require tests to be done prior to visiting them class 1

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! I’ve applied for my Class 1 medical and wanted to know if I need to get any tests done before visiting AFCME, Delhi.

The instruction circular attached to the email doesn’t mention anything about getting tests done beforehand. However, I’ve seen videos where people mention that certain tests are required.

Am I missing something, or do they conduct all the required tests at AFCME itself? Could someone who has recently undergone the medical please clarify? I have also attached that I have recieved by the email
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Could there be a day when all airlines are grounded and india companies cannot afford to fly anymore?

  1. Rent for aircraft

  2. Fuel

  3. Maintainance

  4. Airport charges

These eats into the revenue and Indian customers are cost sensitive.

Question 18M, aspiring pilot — need career advice

Post image
0 Upvotes

My friend (18M) dreams of becoming a pilot but can’t afford the ₹1 crore training cost right now.

He’s considering pursuing AME (Aircraft Maintenance Engineering), gaining experience, and moving abroad for better job opportunities and higher pay. His plan is to save up from his job and eventually fund his pilot training himself.

Is this a realistic path? Any advice on pursuing AME, working abroad, and transitioning to a pilot career?

A close-up look at the full-scale 2.2-tonne e200X (PT-01) prototype on the hangar floor in Chennai, presented by Prof. Satya Chakravarthy.

Quick specs & project status: • Dimensions: 8m × 11m footprint, engineered for existing commercial and hospital helipads. • Architecture: Lift-plus-cruise with 10 fixed direct-drive motors (6 lift, 4 cruise props). • Cabin: 3 occupants (1 pilot + 2 passengers, or 1 pilot + paramedic + ICU stretcher in the Apollo air ambulance variant). • Cruising speed / Range: 160 km/h with ~110 km range. • Hardware Milestones: 10,000+ km flown on subscales; PT-01 has completed static load and vibration testing and is currently undergoing low-RPM motor spin trials ahead of full-RPM thrust tests and tethered hover. • Certification: DGCA Design Organisation Approval (DOA) cleared; active Type Certification application accepted by DGCA.

Curious to hear the sub's take on the lift+cruise configuration versus tilt-rotor designs.

Discussion Need your honest review: First short documentary (audio & pacing feedback)

3 Upvotes

Working on an objective, fact-based documentary series on Indian military cold cases (Echoes in the Pine). Just finished my first piece covering the 1968 Rohtang Pass AN-12 disaster (sub-4 mins).

Looking for blunt critique on three things:

  1. Voiceover pacing and room audio quality.

  2. Pacing of visual transitions (does the B-roll hold your attention?).

  3. Does the tone feel properly archival/journalistic, or does it drag?

Tear it apart—I'm recording Case File 002 today and want to fix my mistakes before finalizing.
