Un « espace aérien » désigne une zone, définie sur trois dimensions, dans laquelle tout appareil volant doit se soumettre à des règles ou procédures établies par l'Autorité de l'Aviation Civile compétente, ou fixées par l'Organisation de l'Aviation Civile Internationale (OACI).
De la nécessité de séparer les appareils volants les uns des autres et de fournir les services requis aux aéronefs sur base de leur classification, est née une série de divisions, latérales et verticales, de l'espace aérien, du moins restrictif (non-contrôlé), au plus restrictif.
From flying for the @usairforce to local communities, @CivilAirPatrol accumulates over 92,000 hrs of flight time per year, taking quite the toll on their aircraft. What does it take to maintain the fleet for missions?

[THREAD] : While other kids in Lusoi Primary School in Nyeri played regular games, Samuel Mwaura Muthinji spent his time creating aircraft models from iron sheets. Muthinji was fascinated by how huge heavy metallic objects floated in the air and moved from one point to another.
His enchantment for flying came at a tender age and he then developed an utmost adoration for flying. After completing his primary school in Nyeri, Muthinji enrolled in Moi Forces Academy near the Moi Air Base in the Eastleigh suburb for his secondary education.
Everyday, when coming out of class heading to the dormitory, Muthinji observed the landing of the aircraft at the nearby Air Base. He made a vow to his peers that one day one time he will become a pilot.
