✈️ Aircraft: Is It an 'It' or a 'She'? 🚀
Have you ever wondered why some pilots lovingly refer to an aircraft as “she”? 🤔

Why 'She'?
In many cultures, ships and aircraft are traditionally given a feminine pronoun. Why?

🔹 Pilots often develop a personal connection with their aircraft, describing it as having a personality or soul.
🔹 The tradition carries over from nautical language, where ships have been called "she" for centuries.

Why 'It'?
Modern aviation prefers neutrality. According to ICAO standards and Aviation English guidelines:
💡 Aircraft are referred to as 'it' for clarity and standardization.
💡 Using neutral language avoids misunderstandings, especially in international operations.

What About You?
Do you call your aircraft "she," or do you stick to "it"? Let us know in the comments!👇

"Fail-safe" is a technical term that can refer to a system or mechanism designed to continue functioning in the event of a problem.

E.g.
The landing gear system has a fail-safe design, ensuring it can still deploy even if the primary mechanism fails.

Engineers incorporated fail-safe mechanisms into the hydraulic system to provide backup control in emergencies.

The autopilot system includes a fail-safe mode that automatically disengages in the event of a malfunction.

Sometimes I ask such questions in the exams.
Let's clear the air. What do we know about scarecrows?Are they still used in aviation?

Yes, scarecrows are sometimes used at airports. But traditional scarecrows are not common, but modern variations and bird deterrents serve a similar purpose.


First of all I'd like to mention that scarecrows or similar devices are used to deter birds and other wildlife from the airfield. Birds pose a significant hazard to aircraft, especially during takeoff and landing, as bird strikes can damage engines or airframes.

There are different types of scarecrows at airports:

Stationary Decoys: Fake owls, falcons, or other predator models may be placed around runways to scare off birds.

Moving Devices: Kites or drones designed to resemble birds of prey are sometimes used to create a dynamic threat.

Automated Scarecrows: Devices with moving parts, lights, or sounds to startle wildlife.

Bioacoustics: Speakers broadcasting predator calls or distress signals are more advanced versions of traditional scare tactics.

Today we've discussed the types of weapon that can be used by hijackers with colleagues.
And we've recollected the word "firearms".

By the way, what else can be used by hijackers?
