Cleared for Landing Interstate 80 - Airplanes
One of the things that my flight instructor stressed repeatedly was, "Land on the centerline!" and whenever I was even slightly off, she let me hear about it. I understand why - bad things can happen when an aircraft goes off the runway. Okay, but how about when you land an airplane on the Interstate? Does it make everything okay if you land on the centerline?
Air Traffic Control in Your Own Home
If you enjoy listening to pilots speaking with the tower when you're on a commercial flight, the Internet now allows you to do the same thing from home. In any search engine, enter Air Traffic Control Live Feed and you'll find sites from which you can download live audio feeds. You'll need Real Player to listen but you can download it free from these websites. Some also provide maps of the airports. Tune into Sydney, Calgary, Hong Kong, or other locales and follow along as pilots land and takeoff in airplanes of all types.
