	flight - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about flight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		People first took to the air in balloons in 1783 and began powered flight in 1852 in airships, but the history of flying, both for civilian and military use, is dominated by the aeroplane.
		The earliest planes were designed for gliding; the advent of the petrol engine saw the first powered flight by the Wright brothers in 1903 in the USA.
		The first powered flight in the UK was made by Samuel Franklin Cody in 1908.

	Electronic Code of Federal Regulations:
		Items of the flight test which are not performed during the routine navigation of the flight will be completed by oral examination after the flight or at times during flight which the applicant indicates may be used for tests on those items.
		Since in-flight weather conditions, the reliability of the weather forecast, and the stability of the aircraft will have considerable effect on an applicant's performance, good judgment must be used by the agent or examiner in evaluating the tests.
		An applicant for a flight engineer certificate and class rating under the provisions of §63.37(b)(6) is not eligible to take the practical test unless he has successfully completed an approved flight engineer ground school course in the same type of airplane for which he has completed an approved flight engineer flight course.

	STS-63
		The objectives of the MIR Rendezvous/Flyby are to verify flight techniques, communications and navigation aid sensor interfaces, and engineering analyses associated with Shuttle/Mir proximity operations in preparation for the STS-71 docking mission.
		One flight waiver was processed for upper level winds at Mach 1.4 in the event of a single MPS engine out.
		Flight rules for mission dictate that Discovery must have all its aft firing thrusters operational before it moves within 1,000 feet of Mir.

		Other objectives of this flight are to perform the operations necessary to fulfill the requirements of experiments located in Spacehab-3 and to fly captively, then deploy and retrieve the Spartan-204 payload.
		Flight controllers report they are seeing a gradual increase in temperature on the forward jet.
		Throughout the evening, flight controllers will continue to look at what effect the failure may have on the planned rendezvous as well as their options for restoring thruster operations.

	AT Special Reports - The Attempted Bombing of American Airlines Flight 63
		On many occasions when boarding a flight to remove an unruly passenger, we have to push past passengers who are already in the aisles, trying to get their carry-ons out of the overhead bins.
		But, just as a flight crew is trained to remain calm during an in-flight emergency, we are trained to remain calm during any emergency.
		Flight crews should rest assured that although we never wish any type of emergency upon you, you are always welcome at Boston-Logan.

		The crew of Flight 63 dwelt at some length on the need to advise other airborne aircraft when an incident like this occurs.
