| Question: Why did this totally avoidable air crash happen? Posted: 09 Sep 2014 01:36 AM PDT Most of the air crashes are due to pilot error and most of these aircraft involved belong to the Boeing and Mcdonnell. However, a considerable number of air crashes can be attributed to faulty design, such aircraft are Boeing 737-100, -200, DC-10s and etc. The reason why these aircraft company just can't be terminated is because they're owned by US, shutting them down would tremendously affect the US's economy so the country is doing their best in covering up any mistakes these company do. Most people would prefer Boeing(or McDonnell or any US-made aircraft) over any other aircraft made by other country despite of so many air incidents they had. For example, most people would prefer the old 747-100 than the super-sophisticated fly-by-wire A380, despite of so many air crashes 747-100 had on its first 7 years. The A380 has been on service for 7 years and never had a single haul loss. The same goes to DC-10, people would choose this aircraft over any other aircraft type regardless of the quality or technology, people would always choose US-made aircraft. |
| Question: Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes? Posted: 09 Sep 2014 01:31 AM PDT Being in the United States Airborne, I can tell you the prep work before a jump is a lot. In order to get a sardine can of men to jump is not easy even with static line. The plane needs to be on level flight, you have to have the right speed, and the right altitude. |
| Question: After 40 hours and getting a PPL, would it be ok to fly coast to coast solo? Posted: 08 Sep 2014 11:22 PM PDT It depends on the pilot! First for a coast to coast flight there are things a 40-60 hr pilot has not experienced and may well discover. Has he/she had any mountain training or has the route fully avoided those? How good at understanding weather is this particular pilot? Has the pilot had training in leaning an engine at takeoff at higher altitude? At the average 50-60 hours of a newly minted PPL most of them should consider taking another experienced pilot along! Legally they are free to go, how well they understood and were trained may have an impact on the trip. Judgment is hard to teach, hard to learn, impacts inexperience and experienced pilots! Just check the accident reports. So the answer is, it depends on the particular pilot and that pilot's training. Some will be fine (all should be) some may not be. GA does not need any more demonstrations of those like Jessica Dubroff. |

| Question: Need to change flight scheduled for 10/19/2014? Posted: 08 Sep 2014 11:48 AM PDT Good question, even thought it lacked airline info and was posted in the incorrect category, which should have been TRAVEL. When you get your wits about you, call the airline reservation number and be prepared to pay. |
| Question: Is it science I need to study to become a pilot? Posted: 08 Sep 2014 03:14 AM PDT In general, it is licences ratings and experience which get you an airline job. While aviation based degrees will get you a knowledge of aviation, they don't do much for you if flying doesn't work out for you. Maths and Physical Mechanics (levers etc) will be useful, but really the idea is to get a degree in something that will make you money as a back up position, and learn to fly! No airline teaches you from scratch, you need to go there with the appropriate licences, ratings and experience. But have a back up career in mind. |
