    10 - Flight Log of Lost Words: 5 Spooky Idioms
    2025/12/07
    🎙️ Flight Log of Lost Words — Episode 10: Spooky Idioms at the Edge of Transmission
    Some aviation stories never make it into manuals. Some words drift through the air like echoes. And some idioms sound as though they were lifted from the crackling static between far-off transmissions.
    Tonight, Aviation English specialist Emilia Barska guides you into the linguistic twilight — where English becomes atmospheric, eerie, and unmistakably skybound.

    In this Halloween edition, we explore:
    ✈️ Ghost flights and the idiom fly under the radar
    ✈️ Disappearances like Flight 19 and MH370 behind vanish into thin air
    ✈️ Fragile emergencies through hang by a thread
    ✈️ The haunting quiet of Denver International Airport and the calm before the storm
    ✈️ Airplane graveyards wrapped in silence and stories laid to rest

    For extras, behind-the-scenes notes, and more skyborne language:

    Fasten your harness and listen in — because in the sky, as in language, what disappears is never truly gone.

    06 - Tail Strike to Tragedy: The CI611 Investigation
    2025/05/25
    Today on "Revise Before Flight," we revisited the tragic in-flight breakup of China Airlines Flight CI611, or Dynasty 611, which claimed 225 lives. This routine flight on May 25th, 2002, vanished mid-climb due to a structural failure. The investigation pinpointed an inadequately repaired 1980 tail strike as the root cause, leading to undetected fatigue damage that compromised the aircraft's integrity. CI611 underscores that meticulous maintenance and adherence to Structural Repair Manuals are non-negotiable. For pilots and ATCs, it's a vital lesson in precision and why advanced aviation English is crucial for safety.
