Pilot and co-pilot of private jet that crashed at Misrata International Airport on Monday have been detained for flying while intoxicated. The prosecution did not identify the pilots, however said that the captain is a German national and the copilot is Turkish. Prosecutors said investigators had found evidence that the pilots flew the aircraft while drunk and ordered their detention pending the investigation.

✈️ This story about 120 airline pilots allegedly being grounded by the FAA for using inflight Wi-Fi is going viral. So far, there’s no credible evidence it actually happened. Real rule. Questionable story. Verify before you amplify. #Aviation #FAA

Following the recent events in Miami, a reminder: at 1,000 ft AGL, if the aircraft is not stabilized, the only decision is to go around. That decision belongs to both pilots. If either one calls it, it must be executed immediately and without debate. #AviationSafety

A Lesson in Carrots. I was eighteen years old. By the end of the day, I was convinced my dream of becoming a pilot was over. I didn't know it then, but it would become one of the most important lessons of my career. The rest of the story: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

"Lower the nose." "Pull it back." "Freeze it." "Firewall it." The final words from UPS Flight 2976. As Bob Hoover said: "Fly the airplane all the way to the crash site." They did. ✈️🕊️ More thoughts: linkedin.com/posts/airops-ve…
