The 2 mile extension was definitely not emphasized during my primary training but I tend to agree with Mr. Browne (and others) on this.

I'll definitely be mindful of this as a CFI and encourage others to do the same. We should be always learning and looking for ways to make aviation safer.

[Tyler In Flight @TylerInFlight]

Popular aviation Youtuber Juan Browne [@BlancolirioYT] took some heat on a Facebook group today for pointing out that the widely used 'teardrop' pattern entry method is misunderstood by many making it unsafe.

His main arguments include:
- Recycled PHAK images missing the 'not to scale' warning in the actual publication
- CFI's not teaching or pilots not using a required 2 mile fly out before joining the downwind

What do you think?

[Tyler In Flight @TylerInFlight]

He also brought up that the term 'teardrop' is just a widely accepted colloquial term - not an actual FAA approved VFR non-towered pattern entry term.

Probably doesn't help that ForeFlight calls it this, nor do they paint a two mile fly out like the PHAK and AC No: 90-66C suggest...

Before dawn over Armenia, the sky starts to look almost alive.

This timelapse was captured westbound as we crossed one of the busiest, and most geopolitically sensitive pieces of airspace on Earth. To the south lies Iran. To the north, Russia. Between them, a narrow corridor through the Caucasus carrying hundreds of aircraft linking Europe, the Gulf, and Asia.

Every light you see here is another aircraft, another crew, another story moving through the night.

What makes it remarkable is the precision. At closing speeds approaching 1,000 mph, aircraft pass each other separated not by miles, but by carefully managed vertical layers of airspace. Invisible highways in the sky, built on GPS accuracy, disciplined procedures, satellite surveillance, and trust.

And yet these routes are never static.

Politics shapes them. Conflict bends them. Closed airspace redraws them almost overnight. What was once a straightforward great-circle route can quickly become a carefully threaded path between terrain, and diplomacy.

From the cockpit, though, there’s a strange beauty to it all.

Tiny lights crossing ancient landscapes.
Modern aircraft moving through corridors shaped by geography and history alike.

Controlled. Precise. Fleeting.

A reminder that aviation is never just about the aircraft. It’s about learning how to move safely through an increasingly complicated world.

For those who have spent years traveling in and out of @DFWAirport like me, you know just how special this store was. End of an era. https://t.co/0PxtszYik3

I went through a bankruptcy restructuring, a merger, 4 uniforms, 3 cabin redesigns, paper manuals (IYKYK), 6 management changes, 3 different contracts and 1 almost furlough resulting in base displacement in less than 10 years.

Did I mention that was just as a flight attendant? 🤣

This industry is insane (but I love it)

[Tyler In Flight @TylerInFlight]

@SteveNomadic Thanks for all Bob, your team and you do for the industry, Steve!

Know y'all don't do it for praise - but this (wish I was a snot nosed captian😂) 33 year old looks up to you guys and hopes to leave a positive mark on this industry like you all have.

I don’t understand how the Spirit 2.0 crowd is going raise anywhere near enough capital, validate pledges or obtain a part 121 operating certificate.
