Concorde’s Cockpit. One of the most complex cockpits in history. Concorde required a minimum flight crew of three, with a flight engineer working alongside the two pilots.

Quick Tips - What's a remove before flight tag
Have you ever wondered why parked planes have long red ribbons with REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT on it?
At the end of these strips of fabric, there is either a small metal tube that slips into the pressure port to obstruct it or a cover that slips around the hole when it is quite big (ex: "Pitot" tube).
Indeed, a lot of parts on an aircraft are vulnerable and need to be properly covered or secured before a long parking time.
These red strips, also called red tags, are there to prevent pressure tapping on an aircraft is clogged with dust, insects, or any other parasite that would disrupt these air intakes. Indeed, if they are plugged in, most flight indicators are no longer operational, especially the anemometer. That's why during takeoff, the first thing to check is that the speed is displayed well!
These red tags have many design options and are commonly used in civil and military aviation. Some of them are attached to pins and are sometimes used to prevent the inadvertent firing of the seat and the embrittlement of the canopy. They are also present to keep the aerodynamic pallets open. These are circuit breakers on the weapon systems (gun, missile, bomb...).
Some of these aircraft fly tags are also attached to the landing gear. We cannot get in if we forget to remove them.
Therefore aircraft manufacturers have come up with an easy and reliable solution, cover up what is valuable and attach a huge "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" sign to the cover or locking pin to make it stand out for the pilot whilst performing his/her preflight check !
On the first flight of the day, you will see a pilot walking from the nose gear to the two main gear removing the gear locking pins, and taking them to the cockpit. Usually, the co-pilot will show the captain all three pins are removed and they are stored in the cockpit to be used when the aircraft is parked at the end of the flight or day of flying.

✍| The Boeing 747, also known as the "Queen of the Skies," has been a staple of long-haul commercial aviation since it first entered service in 1970. However, in recent years, airlines have been phasing out the 747 in favor of newer, more efficient aircraft.

One of the main reasons for this is that the 747 is becoming increasingly expensive to operate and maintain. The plane has four engines, which means it burns more fuel and requires more maintenance than newer, twin-engine aircraft like the Boeing 777 and 787, and the Airbus A350.

Another reason is that the 747 has a smaller capacity than newer aircraft, which makes it less cost-effective for airlines to operate on long-haul routes. The 747 typically seats around 400 passengers, while the 777 and 787 can seat up to around 440-440 and the A350 can seat around 440-550.

Additionally, the 747 is a wide-body plane, which means it requires more space to park and maneuver on the ground, making it less efficient for airports to handle.

All of these factors have led many airlines to retire their 747 fleets and replace them with newer, more efficient models. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact on the aviation industry, causing a sharp decline in passenger numbers, which accelerated the retirement of 747s as many airlines have been struggling to keep their fleet in the sky.

📣| Ryanair installs Split Scimitar Winglets to the first of over 400 of its Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

This modification will improve aircraft fuel efficiency by up to 1.5%, reducing Ryanair’s annual fuel consumption by 65 million litres and carbon emissions by 165,000 tonnes.

Buddha air has sold its both Beechcraft aircrafts to a Canadian operator. The aircraft ages around 25 years. It was the first aircraft that Buddha air operated with. Now Buddha air has pure ATR fleet in the company including 11 ATR 72-500 and 3 ATR-42.

Nepalese medias and non aviation Nepalese be like 😂

Investigation team from France's ATR Company arrived in Pokhara and started the investigation related to Crash.
