You can permanently lose:
680 News traffic reports
The Weather Network weather forecasting for the communities of Markham and Richmond Hill
Toronto Airways

They can't move anywhere else!

Here are some possibilities:
CYYZ (Toronto Pearson International Airport) can't be used; it handles international traffic and would force lengthy delays for small aircraft (Distance from Toronto: 11.9 KM)
CYTZ (Toronto Billy Bishop International Airport) can't be used; a cramped space would not allow more aircraft and international traffic makes use of a warehouse to be out of the question (Distance from Toronto:  1 KM (due to flying time))
CYZD (Toronto Downsview Airport) Used as a manufacturing facility and cannot be used for the public (Distance from Toronto: approx 15 KM)

The organisations nearest airport that they can use is Oshawa Airport (CYOO) and is more than 40 KM from downtown Toronto and cannot be used as it would take 30 minutes from Oshawa to Toronto. As for the Weather Network, they would have to pay to use land as in Buttonville Airport, the amount of pay was low as it was essential for the Weather Network to conduct forecasting for wind and temperature for the aircraft taking off and landing.

My Novel:

Our Instructional Video Project

My Instructional Video Project: How to Make a Grilled Cheese Sandwich

My Video: Click Here

What I think I did well:

• Planned the video well
• Taught in a way a 5 year old would understand
• Had a good idea on what to say
• No hesitations or pausing (except the time I found there was holes in the bread! That was very unexpected and surprising for me! If you watch my video, you can really see what happened at 01:40 of the video!)
• Chose good music to go with the video
• Was able to learn how to quickly use Pinnacle (a video making software used by pros)
• Was able to edit cleanly and fix and crop unwanted video

What I think I could improve or do differently:

• Try to figure out how to adjust the volume for the clips and the background music (Couldn't find out how!)
• Try and get iMovie to be with the same level as the class
• Seek more feedback from friends to find their opinion

When my video comes, watch it and give feedback below on this post! If you having something you want to see on this post? Put a comment below to see it appear within minutes! I enjoy everyone comments! Creative criticism, feedback and everything!

Pilot vs. Plane

Air France flight 296

Watch the video. Do you think that this accident is caused by system malfunction or pilot error? Leave a comment to claim what you think.

Aerodynamics: What is it?

Aerodynamics: What is it?
By: Aerospot
Aerodynamics doesn't seem to interest the general public. Normally, when someone hear the word "Aero", they often refer it to airplanes or the massive engines abord a jet. Aerodynamics doesn't just apply to the world of advanced aviation and its partner, aeronautics. Aerodynamics apply to planes, engines, cars, trains, boats and even yourself, you have aerodynamical properties. Aerodynamics involves, in aviation, drag, thrust, weight and lift, the four principles of flight. When you run, you have aerodynamical properties. When you run, you can make yourself faster by changing your aerodynamical properties. For example, if you run with a clenched fist, you create drag, therefore, making yourself slower and harder for you to run fast. But, when you run with your hand straight at your side against the wind, you reduce the amount of drag making it easier for you to run and, therefore, run faster. This is a basic rule of aerodynamics, which involves 2 of the principles of flight indicated above. Aerodynamics is an interaction with a moving object. This means that anything that moves, has aerodynamics involved. In advanced science, aerodynamics is a branch of dynamics. Cars have aerodynamical properties too. A car produces drag when it hits the oncoming air. The thrust in this part is the engine, which provides power to move forward. Aerodynamics, which involves trains and cars, also has significant in the area of air and flight. Specifically moving to aviation and aeronautics. In aviation, you do not have only lift and drag, you have all sorts of things like turbulence (differences in air pressure), pressure changes, even strong winds can affect the airplanes performance and even it's aerodynamical characteristics. The winds can be a factor of thrust, or a factor of drag. If the wind is a tailwind (a wind that goes in the direction of the plane - push the aircraft forward) is a thrust factor. If the wind is a headwind (a wind that goes in the opposite direction of the plane - pushes the aircraft backward) is a drag factor. The reason why a headwind is like a drag factor is because it makes it harder for the aircraft to gain speed. The reason why a tailwind is like a thrust factor is because it makes it easier for the aircraft to gain speed. Remember, aerodynamics is not just about planes, about every moving thing.

This is what I think we should do:
Make a touching commercial like that on our own.
This is a song suggestion:

if Background Music, maybe this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M720ICH_Ne0&feature=related

We'll send it to Veterans Canada and if M.Andrade let us put the above videos and ours in the Assembly.

We have to Complete this by November 7th.

In Flanders Fields,
By: John McCrae

In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow,
between the crosses row on row
that mark our place;
and in the sky,
the larks, still bravely singing fly,
scarce heard amid the guns below

We are the dead.
short days ago
We lived felt dawn saw sunset glow
Loved, and were loved,
and now we lie in flanders fields

Take up our quarrel with the foe
to you from falling hands we throw
the torch, be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep
though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields
