Aero Linx: Wings of Hope
Wings of Hope is a global humanitarian nonprofit organization that has been helping the world’s most vulnerable communities since 1962. As our name suggests, we use our wings to connect people to the resources they need to meet their development goals. Wings of Hope changes and saves lives through the power of aviation. We work on a global scale to help vulnerable communities access the basic resources essential for human dignity.
Go Around
Instructions for a pilot to abandon his/her approach to landing. Additional instructions may follow. Unless otherwise advised by ATC, a VFR aircraft or an aircraft conducting visual approach should overfly the runway while climbing to traffic pattern altitude and enter the traffic pattern via the crosswind leg. A pilot on an IFR flight plan making an instrument approach should execute the published missed approach procedure or proceed as instructed by ATC; e.g., “Go around” (additional instructions if required).
“Commercial pressures. For the first time actually in this conference we have discussed this and they are a fact. We have to admit that they are present. Aviation has to find a good balance between safety, security, environmental sustainability and the business side.”
