Did you know : most Airlines allow Pregnant pilots to continue to fly well into their third trimester as long as their pregnancy is progressing correctly and they are not in the high-risk category. The only issue that pregnant pilots might face is their growing stomachs getting in the way of the controls. However, this is no different from pregnant women having to reach further to the wheel when driving.
In a bid to keep pregnant pilots as comfortable as possible, there are adjustments that they can make to ensure that they can properly control the airplane no matter how big their bump gets. However, female pilots of transport or cargo aircraft can fly up until the end of their first trimester.
Once this has been completed, they have the opportunity to receive a waiver that allows them to continue flying up until 24 weeks. This waiver can only be applied for if the pilot has applied for it with consent from their squadron leader, flight surgeon, and obstetrician
This pilot's salute made us the day! Thanks to all pilots that take a sec to say hello to our spotters 💪.

Great job crew - Arik Air Boeing 737 Suffers Midair Engine Failure, Debris Damages Tail
A domestic Arik Air Boeing 737 was forced to divert today after suffering an in-flight engine failure that sent debris striking the aircraft’s tail section.
The Lagos–Port Harcourt service reported a loud bang from the left engine, followed by abnormal indications. Flight crew shut the engine down as a precaution and diverted to Benin Airport, where the aircraft landed safely.
All passengers and crew disembarked without injury. Post-landing inspections revealed visible damage to the engine and impact damage to the tail, believed to have been caused by engine debris during the failure.
Nigeria’s Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau has launched a formal investigation, which will include analysis of flight data, crew reports, and examination of the damaged engine and tail structure.
Arik Air confirmed the safe landing and said it is cooperating fully with investigators as the aircraft remains grounded.
