Fear of Flying self-help book - Dragons of Thin Air

2012-01-21T02:19:00.000-08:00

Dragons of Thin Air – Fear of Flying book

After a long time in the making our Fear of Flying self-help book has finally been released!

It’s called Dragons of Thin Air – A Most Unusual Fear of Flying Course, a long but accurate title.

Some of the clear, illustrated explanations we put up about how planes work, etc. are exactly what people need to learn.

The book also has a story, introducing a scallywag dragon called Felix who, despite normally causing fear in humans, has decided to help a family of fearful flyers. He takes the Walker family through a fun but somewhat unusual fear of flying course that he has just invented, covering a wide range of topics and providing insights, observations and skills that can help those afraid to fly.

We’ve built a website to go with the book, if you’d like to take a look… at www.dragonsofthinair.com you’ll find info about the book along with a bunch of links to Fear of Flying courses and resources from around the world.

If you are a nervous flyer, or know somebody who is, I recommend taking a look at Dragons of Thin Air!

Air India may sell two Boeing 747s and five Boeing 777-200s

2012-01-03T05:45:00.000-08:00

Air India may sell aircraft to raise around $600 million

Sale of the five 777-200s will alone fetch the carrier $500 million, and the 747s are expected to fetch $30 million each
P.R. Sanjai

Mumbai: Air India, the money-losing flag carrier that is seeking a government bailout, is expected to raise about $600 million (around Rs. 3,200 crore) by selling seven planes as part of a plan to pare its debt by March, according to two airline executives familiar with the development.

Of the seven aircraft, five Boeing 777-200 long-range planes will be sold and taken back on lease for 12 years, while two Boeing 747-400 aircraft are meant for outright sale, the executives said, requesting anonymity.

Sale of the five 777-200s will alone fetch the carrier $500 million, and the 747s are expected to fetch $30 million each, they said.

Air India has also sought the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) approval for a special arrangement to treat the company’s debt, if the carrier fails to pay dividends due to the banks within the prescribed eight-quarter limit.

The airline, which has a total debt of Rs. 43,777 crore, including loans and dues it owes to vendors such as oil companies and airport operators, is in the midst of a debt restructuring programme scripted by SBI Capital Markets Ltd.

Representatives of investment bankers and lenders said a final approval for the financial restructuring plan by RBI may happen next week.

The Air India executive said the carrier has repaid $800 million of loans since September 2007. “The sale-and-leaseback agreement is backed by the sovereign guarantee. While selling seven Boeing 787s, we will fetch a premium,” he said.

The first Boeing 787 plane will join Air India’s fleet by the end of this month. The delivery of that plane will be taken by the company selected for the sale-and-leaseback arrangement. The 787 will replace the routes being serviced by the 777s.

State Bank of India chairman Pratip Chaudhuri said Air India may not be able to make a profit to pay dividends on preference shares in the near term, and hence the carrier is asking for more time to pay the dividend.

Other lenders to Air India include Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda and Central Bank of India.

“The total outgo in terms of interest for Air India is Rs. 3,400 crore, including working capital and long-term loans. The debt restructuring will give them a relief of Rs. 1,000 crore. The selling of planes may yield more cushion,” said the consultant, who advises several airlines excluding Air India. “The real challenge is to bring back the passengers that they have lost to private carriers. They have to enhance their service levels and ensure reliability. It has to strike a balance between financial and operational turnaround.”

Apart from the financial restructuring programme, the airline has asked the government for an immediate equity infusion of Rs. 6,750 crore to tide over the crisis.

Air India is seeking a total equity support of Rs. 42,920 crore till fiscal 2021. The carrier also wants government guarantees for aircraft loans worth Rs. 30,584 crore till fiscal 2021, according to the latest plan submitted to the government.

Indian airlines are set to post a record loss of $2.5 billion on a total projected revenue of $10 billion this fiscal year, according to the estimates of Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (Capa). Private airlines, excluding IndiGo, will account for $600 million of that loss; the rest will be borne by Air India, according to Capa.

Private Airlines Cheap Flights

2012-01-03T05:27:00.000-08:00

Private airlines in India have often complained that they are forced to operate unviable routes by the government. Some have even demanded subsidies to maintain connectivity.

Their wish may be one step closer to reality. A Bloomberg report on Monday said the Union civil aviation ministry has mooted a Rs.100 crore fund to help airlines for this purpose.

Seen dispassionately, there is no reason why private individuals— airlines and flyers— should be subsidized in any manner. There may be some logic in trying to maintain connectivity between remote parts of the country and better- connected transport hubs. But surely there can be other ways to do that, instead of giving in to the demand of private airlines. Another problem in such schemes is that when implemented, they always lead to runaway financial expenditures that seldom benefit those for whom it is meant in the first place.

Holiday Season Gifts - RC Cars(Radio-Controlled) are Less Expensive

2011-12-26T11:29:00.000-08:00

What is an RC car?

RC stands for radio-controlled. An RC car or truck comes in either toy or hobby grade. Let's take a look at the difference:

Toy grade RC cars are less expensive and can be found at most electronics stores. But if you're serious about making RC cars one of your hobbies, they aren't your best bet. If you're really interested in RC cars, you'll want the hobby grade car or truck. There are lots of advantages to the hobby grade car. For instance, they have tons of available spare parts and upgrades. For a lot of people, they don't just love racing their RC cars--they also love building and fixing it up.

Now that you know the basics of RC cars, it's time to decide what kind of car or truck you want to buy.

RC Cars - The #1 RC Hobby

The kind of all RC Hobbies is the RC Car. Radio controlled cars only move in 2 dimensions (it shouldn't be flying under normal circumstances), they are inexpensive, they can be driven by anyone old enough to ride a bike, and they are easy to repair. The real question comes down to what you expect from your rc car.

Want speed? Some of these cars can move upwards of 70+ mph! Obviously this isn't for an eight year old to play with unless they are extremely responsible and an amazing driver. Certainly it shouldn't be their first car. You can expect to pay around $300 for this type of setup.
Traxxas RTR 1/10 Rustler VXL 2.4GHz with 7 Cell Battery and Charger Traxxas RTR 1/10 Rustler VXL 2.4GHz with 7 Cell Battery and Charger

The great thing about these Traxxas rc cars are that if a part breaks you're not out $200 or $300. Traxxas makes a full line of replacement parts for those unfortunate accidents. Honestly that's why I recommend these cars. They take a lickin' and keep on tickin'! Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra bucks and have these cars for the next couple years. Its a great RC hobby to jump into.

Wanna off-road? Some of the rc trucks have monster tires and can rip through some pretty rough terrain. You can build an obstacle coarse are race your friends. Lots of fun can be hand with this off-road rc cars. Here are a couple products in the $200 price range.
Traxxas RTR 1/10 Stampede with Water Proof XL-5 and 7 Cell Battery with Charger Traxxas RTR 1/10 Stampede with Water Proof XL-5 and 7 Cell Battery with Charger

Racing RC car

Ah, finally, the opportunity to seize and conquer the open road. Well, on a smaller scale. But it certainly can't be denied that one of the appeals of the RC car is that it allows you to go a little crazy--maybe a little too fast, maybe be a little (okay a lot) more dangerous than you (hopefully) are when driving an actual car.

Types of Racing RC car

Oval Track - This is your standard way of racing RC cars--not to say it isn't awesome, because it's definitely a lot of fun. Again, check with your local hobby shop or your RC Club for good oval tracks in your area.

Off-Road - A lot of people enjoy the freedom and fun of off-road RC driving. And it's true--you can go pretty wild with off-road racing.

Drag Racing - If pure speed is your thing and you don't care so much about jumps and stunts, drag racing is for you. Drag racing involves a 1/10 replica of a drag strip. You can buy RC drag cars that will rip across the strip in little more than a second. As you might imagine, they're some of the fastest RC cars out there.

Competitions RC car

If you've practiced racing your car and want to amp up your hobby, then definitely enter a competition. They're a lot of fun and a great way to connect with other RC racers. If you haven't already, join an RC Club and you'll know where to compete.

Best Holiday Season Gift for All Aviation Enthusiasts - Ding Duck

2011-12-21T09:56:00.000-08:00

The Best Christmas Gift you will Present to yourself or to your dear one's this season is
this book that will delight anyone with an interest in Aviation: Full Power Ding Duck

Poor Ding! He’s a duck who just wants to fly, but can’t seem to get it. All aviators can relate to Ding’s misadventures… we’ve all made mistakes, done it tough, had our pitfalls.
What Ding teaches us is: never give up. Should we feel sorry for Ding? I rather feel sorry for his flying instructor!
Ding Duck is just one character in Gary Clark’s “Swamp” cartoon world. In “Full Power Ding Duck” Gary as brought us a collection of over 250 cartoon strips featuring the aviation world and a bird-brained hazard.

Buy it for yourself, or as a present for the aviator in your life. You will love it!
From the preface:
For someone who can’t fly it’s amazing the places Ding Duck finds himself in the Aviation world. He’s a perpetual student having logged over 5,987 flying lessons without once ever taking off. Yet you can find him on countless Flying School walls. His every attempt to fly ends in a mishap or disaster but he has featured in official Air Safety campaigns. He fails all his flight theory exams but he appears in textbooks.

His determination to get airborne despite the struggles, pitfalls and setbacks is what every aviator can relate to. Ding Duck is a reflection of the realities of the irony, pain and love of aviation, which can cause endless frustration to most pilots; yet despite all this we, like Ding, keep coming back for more.

To learn more about Ding and his friends, and to buy this book, visit Gary at his fabulous website, www.swamp.com.au. You can also view his cartoon archive and register for a free Swamp cartoon to be delivered to your email inbox every day.
