Posted: 14 Apr 2015 12:20 AM PDT First of all, to those that assume instant death from hypoxia at 20,000ft - WRONG! In a light plane you are not even required to supply extra oxygen to passengers until you reach 15,000. In a free fall from 20,000 ft you would each breathable air before hypoxia had any effect. The altitude does not make any difference as far as the impact goes - you would reach terminal velocity in a few thousand feet, where drag would prevent you from falling any faster. You would want to try to stay spread eagle and horizontal to maximize drag. In WWII there was at least one or wo documented cases where a crewmember of a bomber survived a fall from 20,000+ feet and survived. If I recall correctly one landed in deep snow on a slope, and one landing in a green house, where smashing through the roof lessened the inpact with the plants below. |
Question: What would happen to a hang glider/plane/bird if one of the wings was slice open? Posted: 13 Apr 2015 09:03 PM PDT A major rip in a hang glider will cause one wing to loose too much lift and the glider will enter a kind of flat spin that will be impossible to recover from. Think of how a Sycamore seed with one "wing" spins to the ground? |

Question: Have any of you out there been diagnosed with ADD, and gotten your pilot's license? Posted: 13 Apr 2015 10:13 AM PDT I went to pilot school straight out of high school. I made it all the way to my first solo flight. I was grounded because during my physical, they asked about mental health history. I put down ADD thinking it would be a non-issue. I hadn't taken medication for years.I didn't think that something I was diagnosed with as kid, that was not a current problem (hadn't been for 5 years) would keep me from getting my wings. I mean its not like im schizophrenic. Has anyone out there ever successfully navigated the neuropsycyhological B.S. associated with having ADD and obtaining a pilot's license? There's no real how-to written anywhere. |
Question: What steps should i take to become a helicopter pilot? Posted: 13 Apr 2015 10:01 AM PDT What step...? I hate to tell you this, but helicopter pilot training is extremely expensive - The only practical advice I can give you is the Army - become helicopter pilot there - Army pilots are first choice for helicopter pilot jobs - If you go to college, select a non-aviation degree - Good luck - |
