Engines off, it would be much quieter, but still not silent as it still generates some slipstream noise even if it was only gliding. We had a small turboprop cargo plane break up overhead a few years back and crash a couple of miles away. The noise as it came down was pretty unforgettable.  |

| Question: How exactly does flight experience help a pilot become better at flying? Posted: 17 Mar 2015 02:22 PM PDT Wow. That IS a stupid question. Sorry. How do you think basketball players become good at what they after they learn the basics of shooting a ball at the hoop? How do you think a piano player gets to be an expert after someone shows them how to bang on the keys? If you think that a pilot does the same thing on every flight, you would be dead wrong. Every flight is different. The plane can be different, as can the airports, as can the weather, as can the weight and balance of the plane, as can the performance of the plane, as can the planes relationship with other planes in the air, etc. etc. I can't believe anyone could ask such a naïve question. You must be really young -- and inexperienced. |
| Question: Why don't airlines recruit you right out of flight school? Posted: 17 Mar 2015 09:54 AM PDT Just insufficient experience to handle an airliner with flight limited experience - Even regional airlines now operate sophisticated airplanes similar to major airline types - There are plenty of pilots with 2,000-3000 hrs available - why select pilots with 300 hrs...? And in some countries (USA) airlines require ATPL which is minimum 1,500 hrs - Supply and demand is another leading factor - Some airlines might hire pilots with 300 hrs experience as "second officers" (3rd pilot) - It is true (see Zack's answer) that 250-300 hours pilots were hired in the 1960's - |
| Question: What would cause an autopilot to automatically disengage during a flight? Posted: 17 Mar 2015 07:44 AM PDT I am not even slightly familiar with the CRJ 700 however, I could see a situation where the aircraft gets out of trim in the nose down sense, which the auto-pilot resists until it reaches its limits and disconnects. This might, in a novelist s world, be caused by a trim runaway, in which the electric trim or auto trim fails to stop when it should and drives the trim to it s stops. That is the mechanical side of your problem sorted, the other issue is that, long before you got to that situation, there would be alarms and warnings in the cockpit that this situation was developing. It is inconceivable that a pilot would ignore these to the extent of losing control. Another possible scenario is what happened to Northwest Airlines Flight 744, where the failure of the end cap on a rudder activator caused the lower rudder to go hard over. A similar failure in an elevator circuit might cause an aircraft to pitch down, but again, it is an unlikely scenario. Particularly as it relates to the CRJ 700, I have no idea what backups and safety systems are there to prevent this, but undoubtedly there will be some, which your script will need to overcome. Remember though that most novels work on a certain level of "suspension of belief", in that a). Most people have no real technical knowledge of the subject and b). Most people will ignore the facts for the sake of a good story. Let s face it, there are very few witches, wizards and "muggles" amongst us, but it didn t stop J K Rowling making a fortune! |

However, depending on various other factors, Lasik sometimes cannot correct eyesight which is that bad. 6 diopters is considered about the largest correction that can be made where glasses do not need to be worn. Only an experienced ophthalmologist can tell you what the chance of success is, and if you need glasses afterward, what the prescription might be. (2) Applicants who have undergone refractive surgery will be considered for medical fitness for flying on a case-to-case basis. There is no guarantee that your eyes will meet a certain standard and there are certain risks involved with eye surgery. No one on this forum can tell you whether you will be considered medically fit after surgery. (3) In addition, such cases are examined by the DGCA, EASA or the CAA not before six months has elapsed since the procedure has been performed. Therefore you must pay for this very expensive surgery and then wait six months to see if you can pass the medical exam. |
