North Texas school district partners to offer flight training to teens
Cedar Hill ISD is preparing to take students to new heights through a partnership with a local nonprofit that will launch a first-of-its-kind aviation program. The district has teamed up with Cedar Hill Dads Aviation, founded by longtime resident John Mays, to provide students with training and opportunities that could lead to real aviation careers. Mays, who earned his pilot's license later in life, said he hopes to inspire students who might not otherwise see aviation as possible. "I've always had a passion to fly ever since I was a little kid," Mays said. "What I want to do is invest in these kids and change the outlook of some who may never look up and say, 'I can do that.'" The nonprofit will work with sponsors to help cover the costs, making the program more affordable and accessible. Organizers hope that by the time students graduate, they will have earned at least a private pilot's license, with some possibly achieving more advanced certifications. The program begins next month with 15 students training to receive their drone operator licenses. By the next school year, it will expand to include ground school, simulations and hands-on flight lessons. To preview what's ahead, Mays even took Cedar Hill ISD Superintendent Dr. Maria Gammell on a flight. "It was exciting for me because I was like, 'Yeah, I want to fly!'" Gammell said. "But also, I need kids to know that this is real. You can do this." Gammell said programs like this provide students with opportunities to explore their futures. "When kids are in kindergarten, we ask them what they want to be when they grow up," she said. "What we have to do is give kids access to opportunities to explore who they will become. For me, this is another avenue to do that." Cedar Hill Dads Aviation hopes to expand to other North Texas districts, with the long-term vision of creating one of the nation's leading aviation training programs for high school students. "Cedar Hill Aviation High School," Mays said. "The airlines will be coming for us for their pilots. Period."

British Airways pilot suspended over claims he left cockpit door open to show off
A return flight was cancelled due to the breach It's always fun to bring your family to work. Unfortunately, a pilot found out the hard way that there are limits to adhere to on such occasions. The family of a British Airways pilot was aboard Flight 173, a Boeing 777-300ER from London to New York. There were 256 passengers aboard when the flight departed. At some point, passengers reportedly noticed that there was something odd about the cockpit door - it was open. Passengers were uncomfortable A source told The Sun: 'Crew and passengers immediately noticed the cockpit door was open and wanted to know what was happening. It made passengers incredibly uneasy.' According to reports, the door wasn't merely unsecured for a fleeting moment. The source informed the outlet: 'The door was wide open for a significant time - enough for people to worry and comment.' As a result of 9/11, the law says cockpit doors remain locked and secured during flight, with specific protocols to be followed should they need to be opened. Since this didn't happen here, the pilot's colleagues turned him in when they landed. The pilot is back in the air The Independent reports that the pilot was suspended and the return flight to Heathrow was cancelled. After an investigation, it was decided that there was no security threat. The pilot was reinstated and is already back to work. In a statement, British Airways said, "Safety and security is our top priority." Solve the daily Crossword
