Flight notes
The questions a small pilot asks on the way out of a song, answered plainly — in the real world’s words first, and then in Little Blue’s. Each one is useful on its own, and each one leads back to a song, a chapter and a flight.
What is a tailwind? A little pilot's guideA tailwind is wind moving in the same direction you are travelling — it comes from behind and pushes you along.Leads to Tailwind (Up, Up, Up)
What does a pilot do before takeoff?Before takeoff a pilot checks the weather, walks all the way around the aeroplane, reads a checklist out loud, and only then starts the engine.Leads to Wingtips and Dew
Little Blue's flying wordsThe words pilots use, as they turn up in the songs — what each one really means, and where you can hear it sung.Leads to Wingtips and Dew
