Cockpit Chronicles: Getting More Out Of Layovers {Gadling}

Jun 12th 2012 12:33AM Kent,
In reading your older article on the differences in various Boeing planes, I was sad to see a professional pilot calling the control wheel a "yolk" - like an egg. I might expect that from non-pilot, but to see it come from a pro is pretty disappointing. I think calling it a 'yolk' should be grounds for recurrent training!

Maybe it's a matter of poor spelling, or poor editing, but I believe it should be properly referred to as a "yoke". Anyone who can't manage that should just call it a stick!

Thanks for the insights into the other side of aviation that most of us don't get to see.

Russell Brand Has Some Advice for Justin Bieber {PopEater}

Apr 15th 2010 3:27PM Syd Barrett's "habit" wasn't heroin, it was LSD. While I've never tried either, I doubt they're quite the same, either in their effect or the likelihood of developing an addiction.

Russell Brand is clueless.
