| Posted: 27 Aug 2015 12:43 AM PDT The aircraft isn't "hard" to fly, it's just VERY complex. Especially if something goes wrong. Like when the Quantas A380 had an engine disintegrate a few years back. It took the crew ~50 minutes to just run through the error codes the computers threw up, work out what systems they still had, and what was out of action, and how they could actually land. Again maintenance is very technical. It's not some guy with a spanner and greasy rag that works on the aircraft. Air NZ lost an Airbus over France on a test flight due to the maintenance crew painting an air speed sensor, and the test pilots doing a slow speed test too low to recover when the plane stalled. Errors by both the maintenance and the flight crew. So it's not "easy"  |
| Question: Old pilots are not used to glass cockpit? Posted: 26 Aug 2015 11:45 PM PDT I flew only airplanes with analog instruments . also known as "steam powered gages" - The last airplanes I flew were old 747 - I never wanted to fly the 747-400 - I retired in 2008 having flown 747 for over 22 years - Another thing I disliked was "2 pilot airplanes" - I would miss the flight engineer - This is the problem of old and new generation pilots - So... I do not like glass cockpit - |

| Question: Is the faa vision test the same as the one for the dmv? Posted: 26 Aug 2015 06:40 PM PDT 20 feet is the standard distance for all visual acuity tests. At the DMV it is common to use mirrors to optically make the letters be 20 feet away even though they are not 20 feet away from your face. (I wrote all tests, but there are a few special tests that are not done at 20 feet. Those are not related to the test you will be doing.) |
| Question: Are there Permanent Air routs in the world? i mean unchanging routs ? Posted: 26 Aug 2015 05:41 PM PDT Yes, most countries have large networks of airways, effectively like three dimensional motorways in the sky, usually defined by radio beacons which act a bit like intrsections with airways converging on them, you can simply fly the airway like you would take a motorway fromone place to another. To use airways though, you have to be flying on Instrument Flight Rules and have the appropriate clearances from ATC. Airways are always above the maximum height for light aircraft VFR traffic and all the traffic in the airway is regulated. |
| Question: In commercial piloting. How do the pilots talk to the air traffic controllers? Posted: 26 Aug 2015 02:39 PM PDT either pushbutton, or noise sensitive mike.. i had a fun time when i started flying on a noise sensitive mike helicopter :) "-uck" "-uck" "-ammit" instructor "what ye say?" |
