Drones otherwise known as Quadcopters are a fun recreational hobby. Drones are fun to fly and will challenge you in many ways. Drones can also be used for business and are a great way to get those ariel shots. Great for pool builders, Realtors, contractors, and inspectors.
Here I list some of the Drones I own and fly. Each drone has a link to see my Amazon.com video review as well as a link to purchase. The drones here range from HD video drones to fun indoor drones. I have flown many drones and the ones below are the top drones and the ones I would recommend.
There are a lot of drones to choose from out there and you can purchase a high end $1,000 drone, but if you don't use it often or for business, it might not be the wisest investment. A $200-$300 drone will get you an excellent quality drone to start with. Some of the $100 or fewer drones here are also excellent for just flying around your neighborhood or parks.
Make sure you register your drone with the FAA if you live in the US and I would suggest installing the UAV APP if you are planning to fly your drone above 300 ft. This APP is also great for showing the No Fly Zones in your area. The number one rule is drone flying is a safety so read the FAA guidelines and be safe.
The F18 drone is superb. I can end the review right here. It is that good.
It is loaded with some great features and for the price point, you are getting a ton for your investment.
Let me start with the overall design of the drone. Sleek, light, powerful and very, very fast. The brushless motors allow this thing to really blast through the air. The light and sleek design make for a super responsive drone that turns on a dime.
The F18 also features Altitude Hold. This means that when you release the throttle the F18 will remain at that altitude so this drone hovers in one spot very easily. Altitude Hold also makes for a very easy flight. With Altitude Hold, all you need to focus on is left, right, forward and back - so great for even a beginner drone pilot.
The built-in 1080p Camera takes really great footage. Being built in allows for very stable filming and you can save the video directly onto a Micro SD card or onto your phone through the F18 APP.
With the F18 APP, you can view a real-time First Person View out of the camera on the front of the drone. This is a great feature as you will know exactly where the drone is even at high altitudes and this also allows you to preview your recorded videos and photos while in flight.
Speaking of altitude, this drone can go an amazing 3,200 ft or 0.65 miles (although with my license through the FAA I am restricted to 400 ft here in the US). You can really take this thing sky high and safely bring it back with the one-touch "Home" button. The drone knows where it is at all times with the built-in GPS (just make sure you turn it on). The one-touch "Home" key will bring the drone back to where you launched it.
The battery is a very unique design that allows it to lock into the back, so no worries of the battery coming loose during rough stunt flying. The battery is rated to last 16 minutes, and when the drone is running low on power all 4 lights will flash red.
The F18 really sets the standard for drones in this category. Watch the video to learn more and also see me set up the drone.
Brushless motors for real speed
Altitude Hold for easy flight
1080p camera for great footage
FPV through your phone with the installed F-18 APP
Large and bright LED lights for easy orientation and night flying.
GPS and a dedicated "Home" button
Fly up to 3,200 ft or 0.65 miles
Great carrying/storage case
One Touch take off and land button
Easy to use remote with display screen
Needs to ship with one extra battery (5 hour recharge time)
No flip button for acrobatics
Yuneec Typhoon H
I can’t say enough about how awesome this machine is. The real bonus is the controller with the built-in 7” 720p Android Tablet so there is no need to use your cell phone. It is also loaded with some unique features like retractable landing gear and the ability to spin the camera around a full
360 degrees to get great panoramic shots. Not to mention the 6 motors and blades making this one of the most failsafe drones on the market today.
Unlike some of the negatives of the DJI drones, the last firewire update for the Typhoon H was in 2017 so you are not constantly updating the drone or controller. Both are virtually perfect right now with the ability to do so many things. The no-fly zones are not as strict as with the DJI drones, but the altitude is set at 400 maximum here in the US per FAA requirements.
The range of this drone is incredible in my opinion. It is rated for about 1 mile and I have gone out .8 miles or over 4,000 ft with no loss of reception on the screen. I am using aftermarket range extenders which really do make a difference and the Patch antenna vs the Mushroom one. With the Patch, you get better range with the monitor, but you need to have it pointed at the drone. The Mushroom antenna is a multi-directional antenna with less range overall. I am very impressed with the range of the Typhoon H and the clarity of the screen is just phenomenal.
This is the base model of the Typhoon so it only has collision avoidance in the front. The Plus is a better model with collision avoidance all around the drone plus a better 4K camera, but it is twice the price of the standard Typhoon H., In my opinion, the Typhoon H is more than enough drone for most and it takes professional photos and videos.
The Typhoon H has a range of autonomous flight modes, where it does most of the flying without being controlled allowing you to focus on the camera operation. The Orbit Me mode, for instance, enables the drone to orbit around the controller while keeping the focus on the operator. The Point of Interest mode allows the drone to orbit around a location set by the GPS coordinates on the controller screen. Other autonomous flight modes include Journey, Curve Cable Cam, Follow Me, and Return Home. The Return Home mode will land the drone with a few feet of where it launched from. It is not as precise as other drones, mainly for safety reason as it is a large and powerful drone.
Speaking of the large size, this is not a drone for hiking or for using it far from your vehicle. In the backpack with the accessories, it comes in around 5 lbs. Both the drone and the controller as massive so if you're looking for a portable drone the Typhoon H is not the drone for you. But if size is not a concern the Typhoon H is just a completely underrated and comes loaded with so many great features, not the least of which is the controller with the build in screen.
Contixo F17 +
The F17 Drone is a real beast. If you are a beginner you can set the speed control to low and then start your test flights. For the Pro, you will find this drone's responsiveness just perfect. Push the control left, the drone will quickly go left. Push back on the control and the drone backs up on a dime. Careful because the F-17's throttle is for real. Start it up and throttle it up. The F17 will go sky high in a matter of seconds.
This would be ideal for a Pool Builder, Real Estate Agent, Contractor or anyone who needs outdoor aerial videos. This is also a very fun drone just for recreational use. I suggest a large school grass area or a large park. Crashes on cement tend to nick up the blades even with the blade guards on.
This review is for the F17 + model which comes with an included 4K sports camera and mount. The camera is actually excellent and the footage is crystal clear and sharp. You won't be disappointed in the included camera.
Overall this is a superb drone that is thrilling to fly. Watch the video to see it in flight and I also go over the assembly and set-up.
Easy to fly (slight learning curve)
Controls are super responsive
Mountable 4K camera included (F17+ version)
Great carrying/storage case
Brushless motors for longer life
500 ft maximum
Battery last for about 15 minutes (you will need extra)
UPair One 4K Drone
The UPair One 4K Drone by GTEN (G10) Drone is a very solid drone with an amazing price point. You can find the UPair One 4K drone with the build in 7” FPV screen for around $350 here in the US. It has the same range as the DJI Phantom 3 Standard but with a better camera and the monitor for about $150 less. Strictly speaking, this is not a DJI Phantom Clone but a very solid and reliable drone with very similar design and features.
The reviews of the 2.7K version were mixed but I did see some very good reviews for the 4K version. This is not the UPair 4K Plus version which has a Follow Me Mode and Flight Route Planning. This version doesn't have those features but with the built-in screen, it eliminates the need to connect to an APP and use your phone to view the FPV footage.

This Mini Drone is awesome. I own 4 full-size drones and 2 pocket drones, but this little guy is by far our most fun drone! No need to leave your house to do some serious droning.
You will find the F3 an extremely responsive drone and very fast. It sounds like a giant insect buzzing through your house. It is also very durable. After a couple of dramatic crashes into the wall and floor, this thing gets right up and starts flying again. The 720P camera is also very good. With the APP you can see the drone flying in first person view as well as record the videos to your phone.
Great Indoor drone! You can fly it outside also up to 150 ft. Watch the video to see the setup and to watch it buzzing around my house.
Super compact size

One of the best features is the camera on the front that can be tilted in flight so that you can get footage directly in front of the drone all the way to directly under the drone. This is a pretty advanced feature for a drone in with this price point and a great upgrade over standard fixed camera drones.
I also love the carrying case which holds everything and the drone with the blades on. I have several drones with cases and the F20 is the best since it fits in the case without removing the blades. So right out of the case, it is ready to fly.
If your looking for a stable and easy to fly a drone, look no further. Everything about flying this drone is easy. When you hit the "take off" button it will go up 1.5 meters for you and hover, then you can take control and fly to your heart's content.
Flying this drone is very easy. It has speed controls so it starts out at 25% speed, which makes for very simple flying. It is very responsive to the controller and the 720p camera produces very good quality videos.
The video goes over more detail on what comes in the box and set up the drone for flight. Watch the video to also see it in action.
This is a super fun drone to fly and you will really enjoy the stability and ease of use. Love it!

Russia claims to have developed a high-frequency “microwave gun” that can disable military drones and missile warheads from a distance of up to six miles.
Defence manufacturer UIMC, part of the state-owned Rostec Corporation, announced that it would be demonstrating the power of the weapon at the Army-2015 conference attended by Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.
According to state media outlet Sputnik News, the gun has been developed for the use of the Russian military and can be fitted onto existing BUK missile systems.
UIMC officials said the weapon is capable of firing super-high-frequency electromagnetic waves to suppress equipment on board low-altitude aircraft, as well as the precision targeting systems on board missiles. Which countries have nuclear weapons?
Speaking to Sputnik News, a UIMC spokesperson said: “The new system is equipped with a high-power relativistic generator and reflector antenna, management and control system, and a transmission system which is fixed on the chassis of BUK surface-to-air missile systems.
“When mounted on a special platform, the ‘microwave gun’ is capable of ensuring perimeter defense at 360 degrees.”

The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex has hosted summer camps, known as “Camp KSC” or “Space Camp” for many years. These camps provide a lifelong impact, launching kids into a galaxy of fun and learning! Kennedy Space Center, NASA’s launch headquarters, specializes in STEM learning at its best with activities for students ages 7 through 16.
With all of the changes due to COVID-19, Space Camp had to get creative in their delivery, so they launched Virtual Camp KSC!
Virtual Camp KSC is a 3-day online camp, with each session lasting three hours. Campers will connect in real-time via Zoom video conference to a member of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex education staff. Campers will complete activities, focused on STEM learning, hosted from a variety of locations at the visitor complex. From the safety and comfort of home, campers can complete engaging and fun activities centered on NASA-based science and engineering.
This new virtual program launched an exciting growth for Camp KSC, reaching new campers all over who may not have been able to travel to in-person camps in the past!
Campers are sent a “Camp Kit” prior to attending camp, which led to some behind-the-scenes support from Brevard Achievement Center. Therrin Protze, COO Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, reached out directly to Amar Patel, CEO of Brevard Achievement Center, for assistance with getting these kits out to campers in a timely fashion.
“The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex family is always happy to partner with Team BAC,” said Mr. Protze. “Our Space Camp project is a great example of how businesses have had to change course quickly in response to COVID-19. We found ourselves in need of some unexpected support and BAC rose to the occasion. We received quality work, a fast turn-around time and terrific customer support, all while providing work opportunities to people with significant disabilities. I can’t think of a better outcome for everyone involved.”
Kits were packaged and shipped from the BAC production facility in Rockledge, FL., by individuals with disabilities. Our in-house Production Center can provide full mail-house capabilities, simple assembly jobs, customized kit assembly, bulk repackaging, and customized outsource services. If you are interested in learning about how BAC can help with your unexpected warehouse or packaging needs, please contact Mark Capobianchi at email@example.com


Oscar winner Octavia Spencer's next role won't take her into outer space, but she'll play someone in sending the first man into orbit. According to Variety, Spencer will join Taraji P. Henson in the NASA drama, Hidden Figures, directed by St. Vincent's Ted Melfi.
The film is based on Margot Lee Shetterly's book, "Hidden Figures: The Story of the African-American Women Who Helped Win the Space Race", which centers on African-American mathematicians Katherine Johnson (Henson), Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughan. The women overcame racial prejudice and gender bias to aid in NASA's 1962 Friendship 7 mission that made astronaut John Glenn the first American to ever orbit the Earth.
No word on when filming begins but Shetterly's book hits store shelves in September. Spencer will be seen next in The Divergent Series: Allegiant.


I operate a virtual airliner named Virtual Cathay Pacific Airways using X-Plane 11. There are two main goals: (1) to simulate historical routes in the 1980s where Cathay Pacific flew between London Gatwick (EGKK) and Hong Kong (VHHH) via Bahrain (OBBI); (2) to explore new routes between Hong Kong and the Americas and within the Americas. With advanced computing technology and software, it is made possible to simulate flights with realistic features for aircrafts, ground traffic, air traffic, and real-world landscapes.
VATSIM is the Virtual International Air Traffic Simulation network, which is what I use to connect my X-Plane 11. This means you can obtain real-time information about my flight simulations. To obtain historical and future flight schedules, look below for more information. There are many online websites and applications that display the VATSIM maps, I find that the one developed by ProjectFly is the best map however, as it is the only map (so far that I have found) that records the actual simulated flight path. The link to their website is https://app.projectfly.co.uk/app/#/radar, though you might need to register for an account.

The UAV is based at Grand Forks Air Force Base and will watch the four hundred km (250 mi)-lengthy border. The drone is not going to carry weapons and needs permission to enter Canadian airspace. U.S. authorities fear that drug smugglers, migrants, and terrorists might exploit the long border. The use of the unmanned surveillance plane is an enhancement of the partnership between U.S. and Canadian companies. The United States Department of Homeland Security initially ordered one Predator B for border safety obligation, referred to as MQ-9 CBP-a hundred and one.
Pilots touring with the Reaper will use the ground control station to launch and land the plane, while many of the flying might be done by US-based pilots. On dankstop blue quartz crystal stone pipe , General Atomics performed the profitable first flight of its upgraded MQ-9 Block 1-plus Reaper.

In 2014, the MOD determined that its Reaper fleet will be introduced into the RAF’s core fleet once operations over Afghanistan stop. Procurement of the MQ-9A was via an pressing operational capability requirement and funded from the Treasury reserve, but induction into the core fleet could have them funded from the MoD’s price range. The Reapers were retained for contingent functions, mainly to perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), until its replacement enters service around 2018. In July 2018, it was announced that this plane shall be designated Protector RG Mk 1 in RAF service, and is to be delivered in 2023. MQ-1 and MQ-9 drones should fly aboard cargo plane to travel long distances as they lack the refueling technology or speed to travel themselves; the C-17 is giant sufficient to carry the aircraft and assist systems and may land on brief runways.
In April 2013, it was revealed that the MOD was finding out the adoption of MBDA’s Brimstone missile upon the MQ-9. In December 2013, several successful take a look at firings of the Brimstone missile from a Reaper at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake to support integration onto RAF Reapers. Nine missiles have been fired at an altitude of 20,000 ft at distances of 7 to 12 km (four.3 to 7.5 mi) from the targets; all 9 scored direct hits against static, accelerating, weaving, and quick remotely managed targets. rolling papers to enter French service are designated Block 1 and use U.S. equipment; further orders are to be modified with European payloads similar to sensors and datalinks.

The Company expects to begin full operational and income-producing flights pursuant to the terms of the Agreement in March 2020. After the initial on-premises route is operational, the Company expects multiple subsequent inbound/outbound routes for DSV’s prospects with time-delicate cargo. Sadly, these drones aren’t expected to execute home deliveries (no less than not yet). Still, the expanded use and improvement of drone expertise is promising in these days of indefinite social isolation, showing that we could also be better prepared for similar outbreaks ought to they happen in years to return.
On 24 September 2013, France’s first pair of MQ-9 pilots carried out a two-hour training sortie at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. Both French pilots had prior UAV experience and went by way of a 5-week floor-based training course and 5 hours on a flight simulator earlier than the primary flight. Two extra crews were also receiving instruction on the facility. General Atomics is because of deliver two Reapers and one ground management station to the French Air Force by the tip of 2013.
The CBD market is growing exponentially and consequently the founders of MCOA have constructed their business model across the growth of business hemp-based mostly CBD merchandise. The industrial hemp plant can be utilized to produce products that are carbon impartial and even carbon unfavorable. It is one of the longest, strongest natural fibers on earth, used as a building material that is free of mold, pesticide-resistant, and fireplace proof.
Introducing an auto-land capability would additionally scale back the Reaper’s manpower requirements to staff launch and recovery teams. Automatic take-off and landing capabilities are already current within the RQ-4 Global Hawk and MQ-1C Gray Eagle, and are deliberate to be provided to the MQ-9 in 2017. The Air Force requires the manually loaded Reaper to operate from a runway at least 5,000 ft (1.5 km) long, however automated take-offs and landings would enable it to operate from a three,000 ft (zero.91 km) runway. In November 2012, Raytheon accomplished ground verification tests for the ADM-a hundred and sixty MALD and MALD-J for integration onto the Reaper for an unmanned suppression of enemy air defenses capability.
- Pilots traveling with the Reaper will use the ground control station to launch and land the plane, whereas most of the flying might be accomplished by US-based pilots.
- Procurement of the MQ-9A was by way of an urgent operational capability requirement and funded from the Treasury reserve, but induction into the core fleet will have them funded from the MoD’s price range.
- The Reapers were retained for contingent functions, mainly to carry out intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), until its substitute enters service around 2018.
- In 2014, the MOD decided that its Reaper fleet shall be brought into the RAF’s core fleet once operations over Afghanistan stop.
- MQ-1 and MQ-9 drones should fly aboard cargo aircraft to journey lengthy distances as they lack the refueling know-how or speed to journey themselves; the C-17 is large enough to carry the aircraft and assist techniques and might land on short runways.
The Predator and Reaper were designed for army operations and never meant to operate among crowded airline traffic. The aircraft typically lack methods able to complying with FAA See-And-Avoid regulations. On 18 May 2006, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a certificate of authorization allowing MQ-1 and MQ-9 UAVs to fly in U.S. civil airspace to seek for survivors of disasters. In 2005, requests have been made for MQ-9s to be used in search and rescue operations following Hurricane Katrina however, as there was no FAA authorization in place at the time, it was not used.

Project SelfieStick: Towards Earth Imaging from a Low-Cost Ground Module Using LEO Satellites
This paper presents SelfieStick, a novel satellite receiver system that explores reducing this barrier of access to real-time satellite imagery data using a single low cost (under 30 dollars) tiny receiver. SelfieStick’s core approach takes advantage of the multiplicity of overhead Low-Earth Orbit satellites due to their exponential rise in recent years. While signals from such satellites may be individually weak, especially at a low-cost receiver, SelfieStick stitches together noisy RF captures containing underlying images of the same part of the Earth across many such satellites to generate clean Earth images. A detailed experimental evaluation on the RTL-SDR platform on satellite captures from the NOAA constellation demonstrates a PSNR improvement of 5 dB through combining of images across 10 satellites.

Circuit breaker tightened
China's circuit breaker arrangement for international passenger flights was tightened on Wednesday to contain the spread of COVID-19.
According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, starting on Wednesday, if there are five passengers on a flight who test positive, the airline's flights will be suspended for two weeks.
The earlier regulation - introduced in June - suspended the airline's flights for one week if five passengers on a flight tested positive.
The suspension will last for four weeks if 10 passengers test positive, which remains the same as the earlier regulation.


Nope, it’s not a bird, but it is a plane. While living in New York, every time I saw a plane in the sky I would look at it and say, “that’s gonna be me pretty soon”. Low and behold, that saying became as real as the truth.
I took two Lufthansa Airlines planes in order to get to Rome. My first flight came from JFK Airport in the city (NY that is) and it lasted for about 7 hours. Considering that this was my first time–ever–going to an airport by myself and flying a plane by myself, my plane ride definitely help to shift my fear of flying.
Not to mention, they also provided me with two meals, which were really quite appetizing for airplane food.
After my first flight, I got off at Frankfurt, Germany. Since my flight from JFK landed early, I had to wait for the last flight for a little over an hour. They too provided me with a light snack:
By the time I boarded my second flight, my nerves were relieved. I replaced fear with an attitude of, “LET’S GET THERE ALREADY!!!!”–talk about patience (sarcasm).
It was so beautiful to fly over the mountains, I really just wanted to stick my hand outside of the window and touch the beauty that I was seeing.
Something about the picture above this sentence reminds of Japan…of what Hiroshima could’ve been.
If you have any questions for me write them in my comment box.

However, remote sensing is still seen as an exclusive field, out of reach to many organizations. In addition, most organizations are familiar with using pre-made satellite maps, yet the power of open imagery that is captured on a regular basis is unfamiliar in many sectors.
Radiant Earth Foundation provides a platform that makes this kind of imagery more accessible than ever by consolidating open data sources in a cloud-based environment. For practitioners simply interested in identifying urban areas to developers working on retrieving imagery during disasters, the Radiant Earth platform streamlines satellite imagery analysis.
This webinar will show the NetHope community how to access data from Radiant Earths aggregated catalog on the its platform, as well as perform analyzes and produce visualizations quickly, securely, and for free.

Did you know that you can see exactly what astronauts see aboard NASA’s International Space Station 24-hours a day, 365 days a year?!
It’s true! The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has a 24-hour live YouTube feed showing what the crew of the International Space Station can see outside of their space station. It is an amazing experience to see Earth from the perspective of the brave men and women orbiting the Earth at over 17,150 miles per hour (27,600 km/h)!
While seeing Earth from this perspective can be thought-provoking, even life changing, few of us know the purpose of the International Space Station!
What Is the International Space Station?
The International Space Station (ISS) is a large spacecraft capable of supporting up to six crew members that orbits around the Earth, making a full trip around Earth every 90 minutes! The ISS was launched and placed into orbit in 1998 with its first crew members arriving on November 2, 2000.
Astronauts and cosmonauts perform a wide variety of experiments in and out of the ISS’s unique science laboratory to learn more about how humans can live and work in space.
Why is the International Space Station Important?
The ISS has allowed humans to have an ongoing presence in space since late-2000, allowing crew members to do special research that could not be done anywhere else! Scientists also study what happens to the body when people live in microgravity for a long time. (The condition of being weightless, or of the near absence of gravity.) NASA and its partners have also learned how to keep a spacecraft working well. All of these lessons will be important for future space exploration.
The lessons NASA learns from the ISS will allow humans to travel farther into space than ever before! This will enable scientists to better understand our solar system, how our planets formed, and come even closer to discovering life outside of Earth!

Even though Jerry and I have been "packed" for two weeks, we did the FINAL FINAL pack tonight. And we are ready to pack it in and sign off. Cab is coming tomorrow morning at 8 to take us to the airport. It looks like more than we had originally planned because we decided to take one checked bag in addition to our two carry-on bags. So, we have 20 hours of flying time ahead of us. Wish us luck and good flying weather!

The Junkers Ju 88 was a World War II German Luftwaffe twin-engine, multi-role aircraft. Designed by Hugo Junkers' company through the services of two American aviation engineers in the mid-1930s, it suffered from a number of technical problems during the later stages of its development and early operational roles, but became one of the most versatile combat aircraft of the war. Affectionately known as "The Maid of all Work" (a feminine version of "jack of all trades"), the Ju 88 proved to be suited to almost any role. Like a number of other Luftwaffe bombers, it was used successfully as a bomber, dive bomber, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, heavy fighter, and even as a flying bomb during the closing stages of conflict.

Take Kneeboard Aviation to New Heights
- Written by NewsServices.com
Kneeboard aviation is an exciting and unique way to experience the thrill of flying. It is a form of aerial acrobatics that involves piloting an aircraft while standing on a specially designed kneeboard that straps onto the pilot's legs and allows them to perform stunts and manoeuvres in the air. Kneeboard aviation is growing in popularity among pilots, both recreational and professional, who are looking for new ways to challenge their skills and push their limits. With its adrenaline-pumping aerial acrobatics, it's easy to see why kneeboard aviation has become such a popular activity.
History of Kneeboard Aviation
Kneeboard aviation has a long and storied history. It began in the early 1900s when Glenn Curtiss, an American aviation pioneer, developed the first “knee-controlled” aircraft. The plane was designed to be controlled using only one’s knees while the pilot sat upright, allowing for easier and more responsive control of the plane. This early form of kneeboard aviation revolutionized how pilots were able to manoeuvre their aircraft in all three dimensions – up, down, and sideways.
Since then, kneeboard aviation has evolved significantly over time. Today’s modern kneeboards are equipped with sophisticated avionics systems that allow pilots to access a variety of information about their flight environments such as airspeed, altitude and heading. In addition to providing accurate navigational information during flights, these systems can also be used for other tasks such as communicating with air traffic controllers or accessing weather forecasts.
The use of kneeboards isn't only limited to commercial aircraft; they are also popular among recreational pilots who use them for aerobatics or stunt flying displays at air shows. Kneeboards also have enormous potential in military operations where they can provide vital data on flight conditions that can help commanders make decisions quickly and accurately in rapidly.
Benefits of Using a Kneeboard in Flight
Kneeboards are essential tools for pilots, as they can help keep important documents and flight information organized during a flight. Kneeboards provide an easy way to keep everything in one place, allowing pilots to focus on the task of flying. The use of a kneeboard can be beneficial in many ways and here are some reasons why:
- Safety: One of the most important benefits of using a kneeboard is safety. By having everything organized and within reach, it reduces the risk of distraction and allows pilots to concentrate on flying without having to worry about searching through paperwork or trying to remember vital information from memory alone.
- Efficiency: Using a kneeboard helps improve efficiency during pre-flight checks as it allows all vital documents such as charts and checklists to be readily accessible when needed instead of having them spread throughout the cockpit or elsewhere in the aircraft. This ensures that all necessary procedures are carried out properly and quickly, helping reduce time spent on the ground before takeoff.
- Organization: A well-organized kneeboard can make life much easier for pilots by providing an easy reference point for any information that may be required during a flight such as maps, frequencies, altitudes etc.
Types of Kneeboards Available
Kneeboards are an essential piece of equipment for any water sports enthusiast. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced water sports enthusiast, having the right kneeboard is essential to your success in the water. Kneeboards come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so it’s important to choose one that best fits your needs. Here we will discuss some of the different types of kneeboards available on the market today.
The most common type of kneeboard is the “flat-bottom” board. These boards have a flat bottom that allows for greater stability and control while riding in the water. They are ideal for beginners as they provide more stability than other types of boards, allowing those new to kneeboarding to get up and ride quickly without worrying about tipping over or losing their balance easily.
Another popular type is the “concave” board which has two concave surfaces instead of one flat bottom surface like its flat-bottom counterpart does. This design helps with edging turns as well as providing additional pop when performing tricks such as ollies and 360s off ramps or wakes while still maintaining stability at higher speeds.
Guidelines for Using a Kneeboard While Flying
Flying with a kneeboard is an essential skill for any serious pilot. Whether you’re a student or a professional, having the right tools and knowledge to make your flights more organized and efficient can make all the difference. Here are some key guidelines for using a kneeboard while flying:
Choose the Right Kneeboard: The first step in using a kneeboard is to choose one that fits comfortably around your leg and won’t slip off during the flight. Look for adjustable straps, secure closures and plenty of storage compartments. You should also consider getting one that includes built-in features like pencil holders, document holders, or even GPS navigation systems.
Familiarize Yourself With Its Features: Once you have chosen the right kneeboard for yourself, familiarize yourself with its features so you can use it effectively during your flight. Read through its instructions manual; identify all its pockets and compartments; practice adjusting it on your leg; know how to access any emergency information stored in it; etc., so when it comes time to fly you can do so confidently knowing how everything works on your board.
Secure Your Documents: Make sure all documents are needed for the flight such as checklists, maps, and charts.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Kneeboard Aviation Experience
Kneeboard aviation is an activity that has become increasingly popular in recent years. This type of aviation involves the use of a specialized board on which instruments, charts, and other flight materials are mounted for convenient access by pilots during flight. Flying with a kneeboard can provide a more efficient and organized way of managing documents while in the air, allowing pilots to spend less time searching for information and more time focusing on important aspects of flying such as navigation or communication. If you’re looking to get the most out of your kneeboard experience, here are some tips to help you along:
- Invest in Quality Gear – When it comes to flying with a kneeboard, having quality gear is key. Make sure that your board is made from durable materials such as aluminium or hard plastic so that it will last through many flights without becoming damaged or worn out too quickly. Additionally, make sure that all fasteners and straps are securely attached so they won’t come loose during flight.
- Choose the Right Documents – It’s important to choose appropriate documents for your kneeboard before each flight so you don’t end up carrying unnecessary weight or wasting space on unnecessary items like newspapers or magazines during your flight. Generally speaking, documents.
Kneeboard aviation is an exciting and rewarding way to fly. It is a great way to experience the sky from a different perspective, while also gaining valuable experience in different aircraft. With the right equipment and training, it can be an enjoyable flying experience that can open up new opportunities for pilots. Kneeboard aviation offers a unique way to explore the skies, and those who take part in it are sure to find plenty of satisfaction in their newfound aerial freedom.

Over a month ago, the Hubble Space Telescope hit a wall. Not a literal wall mind you but a technical one that forced NASA to suspend all science operations aboard the telescope.
The telescope has now been offline since 13th June, but NASA appears to have found the problem and will be implementing a fix over the next few days.
So what is the problem? Something called a Power Control Unit (PCU).
This unit resides within the Science Instrument Command and Data Handling (SI C&DH) unit which in turn resides within the Hubble payload computer.
“It [the PCU] ensures a steady voltage supply to the payload computer’s hardware. The PCU contains a power regulator that provides a constant five volts of electricity to the payload computer and its memory. A secondary protection circuit senses the voltage levels leaving the power regulator. If the voltage falls below or exceeds allowable levels, this secondary circuit tells the payload computer that it should cease operations,” NASA explained in a press release.
After several weeks of analysis, NASA’s teams believe that the voltage level coming from the regulator is out of whack or the secondary protection circuit has fallen victim to the persistent march of time.
Unfortunately, ground teams haven’t been able to reset the PCU so NASA will instead switch over to the backup SI C&DH which contains a backup PCU.
“All testing of procedures for the switch and associated reviews have been completed, and NASA management has given approval to proceed. The switch will begin Thursday, July 15, and, if successful, it will take several days to completely return the observatory to normal science operations,” writes NASA.
The spacefaring organisation performed a switch similar to this in 2008. Back then a Command Unit/Science Data Formatter failed but fortunately the Space Shuttle program was still active and a replacement SI C&DH could be installed.
We will only know whether Hubble is operating at full functionality by next week given NASA’s advisement.
We’re waiting with bated breath.
