With massive crowds, security checkpoints and overbooked flights, today&#8217;s airport experience can quickly turn into a hassle-filled scene that will leave you wondering why you ever wanted to fly in the <a href='http://www.ifly.com/blog/discussion/how-to-make-your-airport-experience-hassle-free/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

With this post, we’ll go into more detail about the final portion of the descent segment: the approach and landing.

For pilots, an integral stage of the process still remains; one prone to confusion and with a notable risk for error.

At this point, many passengers just want to get in the air. For the curious bunch, some important steps actually occur between the gate and the runway.

While the takeoff and climb legs might appear simple and self-explanatory, both involve important steps that greatly contribute to the safety of each flight.

		<description><![CDATA[Prior to this post, we’ve highlighted airline pilots’ duties from pre-takeoff to leveling at cruise altitude. In this installment, we’ll examine a major component of the cruise leg: navigating from Point A to Point B. Unlike with ground-bound modes of transport, flight crews can’t rely on a solid network of roads or rails. However, vast <a href='http://www.ifly.com/blog/from-the-cockpit/cruise-navigation/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regardless of the distance traveled or the time spent aloft, all airplanes must eventually return to earth. For passengers, the descent leg means the flight is almost over. For the crew, the descent phase involves communication, coordination, planning, and even math. Let’s examine some of the highlights your pilots deal with after leaving cruise altitude. <a href='http://www.ifly.com/blog/from-the-cockpit/descending/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

With this post, we’ll take cruising altitudes a step further and examine how to choose the best altitude for existing circumstances.

Perhaps you’ve wondered just how all those airliners avoid each other, as well as all other forms of air traffic, when airborne.

With this post, we’ll examine other methods to ensure aircraft remain safely separated from each other. All these procedures, methods, and equipment work together to maximize the safety of the national airspace system.
