Question: What do you call that 1940s plane...? Posted: 03 Oct 2014 01:46 AM PDT What do you call that 1940s plane...? it looks like two propeller-planes parallel side-by-side, but conjoined at the wings and back fins. There are two cockpits. |
Question: Pilots, what do you think of ms flight simulator? Posted: 02 Oct 2014 11:48 PM PDT . As a game, probably very nice... but you do not need to be a pilot to play with it - And as a pilot, a "ms" simulator game is basically worthless - It will not help you at all if it is meant to teach you about flying - It just will make you imagine that you learned how to fly an airplane - If these "flight sim" games were of any value, airlines will have pilots using them - We have "real" simulators... Level D, worth a few million dollars - Do you use a "ms" Monaco F1 Grand Prix to learn to drive a car...? Retired airline pilot and airline instructor and training manager - |
Question: BS Avionics Technology or BS Aircraft Maintenance? Posted: 02 Oct 2014 08:43 PM PDT BS Avionics Technology or BS Aircraft Maintenance? Hi, I'm about to graduate a few months from now. I'm thinking of a course to get.Either BS Avionics Technology or BS Aircraft Maintenance, but I'm not sure what to get. Can someone pls explain the difference of both to me? Which one pays best? Which one is easier? Which one requires less math? (math will tear my brain appart) |
Question: Questions about the physical for a private pilot license.? Posted: 02 Oct 2014 07:16 PM PDT I don't know about the USA, but every medical I have ever had, in nearly 50 years of flying, I have been checked for inguinal hernias, going back to when I was 18. This certainly requires a quick glimpse at the equipment! I doubt they do this check on women, women are at insignificant risk of inguinal hernia. Un-repaired Inguinal Hernia certainly used to be and may still be a disqualifier in Australia and New Zealand, but as I say, it may not be in the USA |
Question: Is there anyone out there who works/assembles aircraft evacuation slides? Posted: 02 Oct 2014 07:08 PM PDT Is there anyone out there who works/assembles aircraft evacuation slides? I'm trying to find a yard of the gray slide material. I enjoy collecting industrial fabrics. |
Question: Is the touchdown of an ILS Approach always performed visually? Posted: 02 Oct 2014 06:24 PM PDT The other guys are quite correct, however, numerous large jets are also fitted with Autoland systems, which, theoretically at least, can land the aircraft in zero visibility and with no more than monitoring from the pilots. While they could indeed land the aircraft without a pilot being able to see a thing, (and ground fog is generally thicker up where we sit in a Boeing 747, so it is entirely possible to have 50 metres at ground level but nothing 35 feet up in the cockpit), in practice, once we have to turn off the runway we lose the guidance from the localiser so we have to be able to see the taxiways. Generally 100 metres is about the least visibility you need from the cockpit. So autoland might not always be as useful as you think it is going to be, you can't taxi a B747 without being able to see where you are going |
