Ready For Takeoff - Turn Your Aviation Passion Into A Career

Now more than ever, preparation is key. Conditions changing day by day. Reminds me of how we improvised securing the cockpit post 9/11. If you are in the high-risk group (over 65, asthma, heart disease, other underlying disease) don’t fly. Research your destination. Don’t fly if you have a cold. TSA bins probably filthy You may be sitting next to a total stranger – not all airlines block middle seats. Clothing: no shorts or flip-flops! I recommend long pants for women as well as men, and no high-heel shoes for women  I will discuss evacuation shortly Face mask – actually TWO face masks (in case head band breaks) carbon filter n95 aerotoxic syndrome – only B787 does not use bleed air from pneumatic system Anti-bacterial wipes Hand sanitizer Take your temperature before leaving home If it’s above 100 you may not be allowed on the airplane Put ALL medications into hand-carried bags fanny pack even better Wash hands after TSA screening Bring empty water bottle – fill at filling station, not water fountain Stay hy
