Safety Culture
Not talking about advertisement, focus on the philosophy – it is why aviation is the safest transportation. These clips are full of vision and insights. Indeed, they remind me in what reasons I am passionate in aviation industry and OSH sector!
MOTIVATION, SELF-DISCIPLINE
You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny life, karma whatever because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence
Rate of Turn (ROT), Radius of Turn
maximum permissible load factor at the stall speed for : 1) minimum radius 2) maximum ROT ROT 反比Radius of turn The rate of turn is directly proportional to the angle of bank and inversely proportional to the TAS which means that for maximum rate of turn, the angle of bank must be as large as
Balance tab vs Anti-balance tab
Balance tab is NOT Trim tab! balance tab’s movement is linked to the primary surface’s position, while a trim tab stays in a fixed position until adjusted. Balance tabs are rigged to operate automatically with application of the elevator and assist the pilot in reducing the control force necessary to move the elevator. They work in much the
What’s Speed Instability, region of reverse command, backside of the power curve ?
Introduction – why pilot should know these phases? What Is “Speed Instability”? Speed Instability, region of reverse command, backside of the power curve are just different terms to describe same topic! reverse command is encountered at low airspeed. It is also known as the back of the power curve, and is normally situated below the
Surface wind, Geostrophic wind, Upper wind (thermal wind)
What’s wind? horizontal movement of air due to pressure differences in various places Surface wind is the geostrophic wind modified by friction Geostrophic wind is the wind of which direction parallel to straight isobar. The strength is depended on spacing between isobars Upper wind (thermal wind) is determined by thermal gradient. For example, the jet
What’s Jet Stream?
jet stream is a high speed, narrow band of westerly wind at high altitude ! 題外話： 重推本文係因為我study buddy 同我溫書後，我覺得吾太熟呢個topic! 😆 How fast (is the speed) of a jet stream? Typical jet stream can has a speed of 100 KT to 200 KT! BUT minimum at least 60KT Fact check info on https://skybrary.aero/articles/jet-stream#:~:text=A%20second%20jet%20stream%20sometimes,particularly%20over%20south-east%20Asia. How high of the

From CTB to XX?
2026 年1月，我收到一份很不錯既禮物。 其實，自從上年我註冊左做正式Safety Officer 之後，我就開始同自己講，報恩：將公司個安全管理系統優化返之後就要走了。因為，我一直無放棄心中理想！ 前日，公司正式出公文比我： 我係公司都坐正做SO!呢件事係公司角度 I am a Safety Officer, but for my personal perspective – I should be the Second Officer with XX! 我初心不變，係現有正職時間做應做既SO, 收工私人時間就準備我未來「SO」既職涯！ 多謝一班好前輩 好同事 好前線 無您地 我無今日！ 繼續努力🫰🏻🛫

晨讀及溫故知新系列： FCOM/CCOM
我覺得AViation 界最成功就係個個演員除左要有咁上下應變力，就係劇組有比稿 FCOM : Flight Crew Operating Manual CCOM : Cabin Crew Operating Manual The Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM) is issued by the manufacturer as a guideline for operators to develop their own Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in accordance with applicable requirements. This source document incorporates aircraft manufacturer guidance on how to use the systems on board
溫故知新系列之： Threat, Hazard, Risk
我吾甘心只做SO , 我要做Captain 😗 https://www.icao.int/sites/default/files/APAC/Meetings/2025/2025%20APWHMWG7/Workshop%20Presentations/2-1_ICAO-WHM-Wkshop_2025_Ash_Hazards-Threats-and-Risks.pdf https://www.casa.gov.au/operations-safety-and-travel/safety-management-systems/sector-safety-risk-profiles/using-our-bowtie-risk-analysis#Readingabowtieanalysis 今早坐車睇下文章見到Airbus 刊物有呢句： A lithium battery fire during flight is a significantly growing threat due to the increasing number of portable electronic devices carried by aircraft occupants. 突然令我唸返自己做左太耐港式既safety，忘了International language…In aviation safety management, we have more and more concepts. the hazard: something with the potential to cause risk the top event: in the middle
溫故知新系列之 Propeller System
呢個禮拜就睇下Propeller System Fixed-Pitch Propeller Low Pitch (high rpm) for climb High Pitch (low rpm) for cruise The climb propeller has a lower pitch, therefore less drag. Less drag results in higher rpm and more horsepower capability, which increases performance during takeoffs and climbs but decreases performance during cruising flight. The cruise propeller has a higher
溫故知新系列之: 點解新飛機都係黃黃綠綠 (Aircraft Structure)
星期天又是輕鬆得黎要認真既一日, 溫下書…又學多一點點~ 點解新飛機都係黃黃綠綠? The paint used is a green zinc chromate or zinc phosphate primer, which manufacturers apply to newly built aircraft to prevent corrosion. 無意中又發現，原來HX (Hong Kong Airline) 係A350 launch airline https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2017-09-hong-kong-airlines-becomes-new-operator-of-the-a350-xwb 好…今日就簡單溫下 Chapter 3 : Aircraft Construction 咩係Aircraft?
