| Question: What are some examples of pilots crashing a perfectly functioning aircraft? Posted: 16 Aug 2015 03:35 AM PDT Singapore Airlines Flight 6 (SQ006) on October 31, 2000. The B747-400 took off from a runway that was closed for construction. As the plane accelerated down the runway, it hit construction equipment and broke into 3 pieces; killing 83 out of 179 people on board. There was a typhoon approaching the airport at that time too.  |

| Question: Is the Boeing 737 a very dangerous aircraft? Posted: 15 Aug 2015 11:41 PM PDT The 737 has one of the best safety records of any plane. The reason one crashes occasionally is that there are so many of them flying. And things go wrong occasionally. Something breaks, pilots make mistakes, etc. The crash you are referring to was primarily pilot error. There were other factors with weather and a compass fault, but that didn't make the plane crash. The autopilot was accidentally switched to a wrong mode while they were making an instrument landing. So instead of lining up on the runway, they missed it. The co-pilot realised "something" wasn't right and suggested they go around and try the landing again. But the pilot ignored this, and continued to descend. Once he realised there was a problem it was too late and they flew into a hill about a mile away from the runway. . The type of aircraft wasn't a factor. |
| Question: Is it true that aeroplanes can go faster then roller coasters? Posted: 15 Aug 2015 11:35 PM PDT Hey there, It is very true that airplanes go faster than roller coasters. The fastest roller coaster in the world, in Abu Dhabi - UAE, has a maximum speed of 250mph. The fastest passenger airplane in the world has a maximum speed of 1016mph. Hope that helps. Have a good one. |
| Posted: 15 Aug 2015 06:42 PM PDT There are privately owned 747s by rulers of countries in the Middle East - So, a Boeing 737 BBJ or a 757 "à la Trump" is not a big airplane - I delivered a 747-200SF (ex-Kalitta) cargo to the ruler of Dubai in 2004 - I was mentioned he has a few smaller jets... like Gulfstream... The most common (and prized) private jets are top-of-the-line Gulfstream Jets - When you fly long distances - you fly SLOWER than max speed...! Have a look on this by Wikipedia - There are Bombardier Global Express and Falcon whatever number.- Take any airliner with an empty cabin - As a pilot, I would insist the owner acquires an airplane with at least 3 engines - |
| Posted: 15 Aug 2015 05:23 PM PDT International airports...? - Does not matter if international or domestic traffic - It is a matter of amount of traffic - Chicago MDW airport is domestic airport 98% of traffic - Has 2 frequencies, one arrival and one departure - Because the arrival ATIS must be received over longer distance - They also have different name - In some foreign airports, they have ATIS in 2 different languages - I could ask you same style question... Or two tower frequencies - |
