Question: Is the Airbus A320 more comparable to the B737 or the B767? Posted: 01 Aug 2014 02:05 AM PDT Based on the Type Certificate Data Sheets (TCDS) for each aircraft they are very close depending on which model dash number of each you look at. I have provide some of the data from both Airbus and Boeing on their aircraft. You can down load the entire TCDS for each aircraft on the FAA web site to look up exact models by dash number is see they are very similar. Model A320-111, Approved December 15, 1988. Model A320-111,comes with Two CFMI Model CFM56-5A1 or CFM56-5A1/F jet engines; Minimum Crew: 2 Pilots Maximum Passengers: 179. Model 737-600 (Approved August 12, 1998), 737-700 (Approved November 7, 1997), 737-800 (Approved March 13, 1998) , Transport Aircraft. Minimum Crew For All Flights: 2 (Pilot and Copilot) |
Question: Are airplanes not safe anymore? Posted: 31 Jul 2014 10:02 PM PDT Yes, they are very safe, none of the incidents this year have had much to do with the aircraft, even MH370, the cause of which we do not know, cannot possibly have behaved as it did without human intervention, from inside the aircraft, to make it do so. In fact, there have been no more accidents so far than in most years, it is just that the ones that have occurred happened in a group and happened, by pure coincidence to involve the same type of aircraft and the same airline. None of that is attributable to the aircraft or the airline. The statistics remain the same, if you want to be sure of being in a fatal aircraft accident, you will need to fly at least four hours, every day, for the next 38,000 years. You have about a 1 in 7 chance of being involved in a major car accident during your lifetime. Which odds do you prefer? |
Question: What health requirements is there for airline pilots? Posted: 31 Jul 2014 09:12 PM PDT You have to pass a very strict medical at regular intervals. Where I flew it was legally each 12 months if you were under 50 and each 6 months if you were over 50. However our airline required it to be each 6 months for every pilot, with a mandatory reporting of any ailments to the company physician in the interim. The medical could hardly have been more thorough unless they dissected you, and took about four hours all up. |
Question: I'm an IGCSE student my dream is to be an airline pilot.? Posted: 31 Jul 2014 06:53 PM PDT (1) There is no way to assure that you will find a job easily. It depends as much on the economy and the state of the airline business as it will depend on you. (2) The only way to be wanted by the airlines is to (a) hold the appropriate education, licenses and ratings (b) have a competitive number of flight hours in the right kind of aircraft and flight operations, (c) be a likeable and tolerable person personality-wise, and (d) have good health and impeccable references. (3) Find a way to pay for the required education and training. (4) Have the perseverance and fortitude to work very hard for the next 10 years or more in pursuit of this goal, and have thev willingness to endure unglamorous, low-paid flying jobs on your way to gaining a competitive amount of experience. . . |
Question: I'm an IGCSE student my dream is to be an airline pilot.? Posted: 31 Jul 2014 06:52 PM PDT Ok sir, what you have there is a statement. What you need to do in order to make this a question is to ask for information. What I think you're trying to ask is 'How do I become an airline pilot', if this is incorrect please feel free to correct me. However this question in and of itself is complex and broad, perhaps you would like to elaborate further so the Yahoo! Answers community can give you a more precise and detailed answer. |
