Pilot’s Guide to Special Use Airspace (SUA)
It's important for pilots to understand the operating requirements and restrictions regarding Special Use airspace (SUA). SUA consists of Prohibited, Restricted, Warning, Military Operation, Alert, and Controlled Firing Areas. All SUA is depicted on aeronautical charts, except for controlled firing areas (CFA), temporary military operations areas (MOA), and temporary restricted areas.

Airplane turbochargers explained for pilots
Many high-performance airplanes take advantage of turbocharged engines, which allow for cruise operations at higher altitudes into the flight levels. This video shows how these systems work, including the compressor and turbine components, intercooler, wastegate, and engine flight instruments.

FAA Issues Guidance on Impaired Passengers: A Safety Reminder for GA Pilots
The FAA recently released Information for Operators (InFO 26002) highlighting the risks of flying with impaired or intoxicated passengers. While the guidance is aimed at Part 91 operators with a Letter of Authorization and Part 135 operators, it’s an important reminder for all GA pilots.

Video Tip: What Kind of Cloud is That?
Clouds are often referred to as "sign posts in the sky", and for good reason since they are one of the best visual indicators of what mother nature has planned for the weather. This week's tip takes a look at the various types of clouds, when and where they form and what kind of flying conditions pilots can expect when flying in and around them.

Quiz: Flight Planning with Sporty’s E6B
During flight training, you’ll learn to plan your cross-country flights first by hand and use the E6B each step of the way. You’ll also find it to be a handy companion when studying for the FAA knowledge exam. We’ll use the Sporty’s electronic E6B flight computer in this quiz when calculating flight planning and navigation questions.
