Statics show that the female pilot population in the world is rising exponentially, seeing more flight decks being composed of females, doing amazing work.
Friedrich Wilhem Nietzsche once said:
Our destiny exercises its influence over us even when, as yet, we have not learned its nature: it's our future that lays down the law of our today!
Shall I tell you a great secret my friend. Do not wait for the last judgement. It takes place everyday. Those who wait always wait to late.
Countries with the most female pilots in the world are as follows:
India: 12.4%
Ireland: 9.9%
South Africa: 9.8%
Canada: 6.9%
Germany: 6.9%
Australia: 5.8%
United States: 5.4%
United Kingdom: 4.7%
Come on girls, let's push up the numbers. Women make a better pilot, purely because of the obvious. The ability to multitask, plus attention to detail which has increased in the precise science of aviation
Boys, watch out. Start cooking, because the women are cooking up a storm in the modern flight deck worldwide
Andrew Lang once said:
Aviation is books, and you can cover a great deal of country in books. After all, knowledge is power. In this case GIRL POWER
What a woman wants is something that you're out of.
After all, there are only two ways of spreading light, to be a candle or the mirror that reflects it
Climb in and do the DIZZLE
Switch on the SHIZZLE
Then fly the JIZZLE
Captain Debbie Carter from Zimbabwe, Air Zimbabwe
GIRL BOSS
FIRST FEMALE CAPTAIN IN ZIMBABWE, DRAGONAIR AND CATHAY PACIFIC AIRWAYS
She was Air Zimbabwe's first female captain
Her command was at the tender age of 25, on the BAE-146 registration Z-WPD (JONGWE)
She did approximately 1200 landings into Kariba airport FVKB Zimbabwe
This was a Captains ONLY landing, with gale force winds with the onshore breeze and on a very short runway. The brakes got very hot, causing major problems with the possibility of fire, which would lead to an evacuation and other complications
She was one of the ONLY pilot qualified and allowed to conduct this delicate approach.
The daily route was Harare, Kariba, Hwange, Victoria Falls, Hwange, Kariba, Harare
Debbie Carter in command
Air Zimbabwe BAE-146 Z-WPD
Kariba airport FVKB
Touchdown, speedbrakes fully deployed
Debbie Carter then got her command on the B737-200, as well as the B767 having also flown on the B707 fleet
Debbie Carter was in command of the Air Zimbabwe BAE-146 Z-WPD
Debbie Carter also flew extensively on the B707, typical routes were Harare, Frankfurt, Harare, London Gatwick, Harare London Heathrow
Compliments go to:
Captain Darry Tarr

Greaser landing, some serious GIRL POWER

Debbie Carter completed six months training with Dragonair Hong-Kong before she transferred to Cathay Pacific Airways.
Cathay Pacific Airways did not want anything to do with FEMALE PILOTS
She passed ALL the extensive training with top instructors on the Lockhead Tristar L1011
Get this
Cathay Pacific Airways Chief pilot tried to chuck her off the crew transport one day, because the crew bus was not ever designed for a FEMALE PILOT
"Get off, not for AIR HOSTESSES he said", and was concerned she would get lost
Debbie Carter was the Captain, going to her own aeroplane
Debbie Carter is a HERO of modern aviation, and the pinnacle of the "ALL FEMALE FLIGHT DECK"
Liberty is a beloved discipline
Ask yourself, is man the only blunder of God, or is God the only blunder to man? Depends for most people, they switch this around and throughout life, as and how life shapes through their inadequacies.
As they rise, so too they fall. It is how rise that is more important than how you fall. It is in rising up after the fall that determines your true character
Remain humble. What goes up must come down. Monitor your way up very carefully, as it is on the way down you shall pass those you crossed during your climb on the way up
"Positive climb, gear up"
Where there is smoke there is fire
Fan SMOKE, it becomes a SPARK
Fan a SPARK, it becomes a FLAME
Fan a FLAME, it becomes a FIRE
Fan a FIRE, it becomes a big roaring BLAZE
The SMOKE
As you dream, your solitude becomes like a fat pig
They will laugh, they will slander, but never forget how delicious a fat pig is, though it consumes everything
It will consume at least two hundred pounds of uncooked flesh in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute
Be weary of any man who keeps a pig farm. Hence the expression, "As greedy as a pig"
The FLAME
Those who look skywards do so for a reason, if not for any reason at all
The dream is realised
The FIRE
Bye bye aeroplane, see you in the flight deck and at the controls
Then one day it happens, no matter where you are, Gran Canaria or the Netherlands
In your ORANGE and YELLOW vest
YOUR FIRST SOLO
"I believe I can FLY"
See yourself inside of your dream, doing what you were born to do
The roaring BLAZE
In writing about progress and poverty, the blogger dipped his pen into the tears of the human race, racing and with the celestial clearness he wrote down what he conceived to be eternal truths
Humble beginnings, make the road the sweetest journey to success. Whilst you power up, negativity prevails, hence leaving a bitter tongue from sucking some sour sweets
As beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder
So, is the taste so sweet in the mouth of the passionate dreamaker, passion, soul searcher, goal breaker, daring son of a bitch
The REALITY
Remember your mother, who encouraged you, who believed in you
YES I DID IT
Like a ROCKET
I need to go FASTER
I need to work HARDER
I need to work SMARTER
I need to maintain FOCUS till reaching top SPEED
SPEED is what I NEED
From the START I drive with the arms
To go FAST I turn on the AFTERBURNERS
To transition then I start going for the POWER
Keep FOCUS till I get to TOP SPEED
If you do not listen to your soul, you die as you live
Every soul shall end in silence, but silence never dies
Earth is the frozen voice of God, many seldom hear it
The world is old
The years are old
The Gods are older
There is no today
There are no days
There are no weeks
There are no months
There is only now
What are you doing about it NOW
The past is like a funeral gone by
The future comes like an unwelcome guest
I do not hunger for a well stored mind
I only wish to live my life
I wish to find my heart
For my heart to be in unison with all mankind
To fly is to do exactly that
As you can give me the error of life anytime
At least i have something to work with
It is full of unsown seeds
Seed bursting with possibility
Rather keep your sterile truth within your filthy hearts
Things cannot always go your way
It is with the way things go, that you grow
Learn to accept in silence all the failure
The minor aggravations
Cultivate the the gift of tenacity to your advantage
Work in silence
Let your progress be your voice
Consume your smoke of failure with a draught of hard work
So that those who watch will be annoyed with the dust and soot of success
Let their complaints be your unconditional praise
There are two kinds of men on earth:
Those who LIFT
Those who LEAN
Those who LEAD
Those who FOLLOW
Those who TALK
Those who DO
Like everything, there ONLY TWO things in life
YES, NO
TALK, DO
Anyone can dream, it is FREE
Moving your dream into being is a choice
It brings pain in its process
The rewards are SWEET
Dreams without action are SOUR
Dreams without action are just dreams
Everybody has them
Hard work is what separate success from failure
Working really hard is what successful people do
Better the SWEET taste of SUCCESS
Than the BITTER tongue of FAILURE like of sucking SOUR SWEETS
Do not be afraid to act on your dreams, soar like an eagle, and do not let anything hold you down
Welcome on board my dream
V1 decision speed
VR Rotate
When you take that leap of faith, do so in spectacular fashion, let your success be your voice
PITCH for ATTITUDE
ATTITUDE determines your ALTITUDE
Knowledge is the father of all wisdom, as it was said, an expert is an expert who tells you he knows more and more, though he actually has less and less.
The young man who has not wept is a savage, and the old man who will not laugh is a fool
The PONDERING old man
It is better to trade beauty to live your dream, rather than being a bird in gilded cage.
Mission is to cling onto the old rugged cross and exchange it someday for a crown.
Then wear those bars with pride
Fruits of SUCCESS are SWEET
Attitude determines altitude, it is true with everything that you do
During your climb to the top, do so with power, attitude and speed and remain humble
If you dream it, you can achieve it, so hold on to the ride
POWER ATTITUDE SPEED TRIM
When you get up there, flying with the birds and mother nature herself, keep all your options open, exploring every possibility as you go.
Aviate, navigate, communicate and enjoy the fruits of your success whilst remaining humble
Pull others up along the way, remaining humble as you do, as you will meet those you past on the way up during your descent
Climb with pride, fall with dignity
Constant monitoring, polishing, training whilst remaining consitent
BIGGER
BETTER
FASTER
STRONGER
Maintain focus, remain in full control not only of your destination, but your destiny
Never be afraid to create and invent yourself
Never ask of money spent
Where the spender thinks it went
Nobody was ever meant to remember or invent, what she did with every cent
Remember the land was ours before the land's
She was our land more than a hundred years, before we were people with dreams
Do what you are meant to do
Be all you can be
Happiness makes in height for what it lacks in length, happiness is dissolved in something complete and great
No one can build his security upon the nobleness of another person, only your own
Hence off your insecurities your demise shall fully arise
I love trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live, than other things do
I tell you there is such a thing as creative hate, as of the hate of the male dominated world disapproving the growth of the female pilot population
Nobody sees
Nobody knows
What is inside of your heart
That's how it is
That's how it goes
We are a secret and can be exposed
That's when we UNCOVER
GOOD things come to those who believe
BETTER things to those who are patient
BEST things to those who do not GIVE UP
It is free to dream
It takes blood, sweat and tears to turn them into a reality
Remember, the dream only exists inside of your head, birthed from your soul, fueled by your hearts passion
Only you act upon them as now one sees them they way you do. The truth is, they never will
