| Question: Are pilots not able to operate a DC-10 or 747-100/200 at all without a flight engineer? Posted: 28 Aug 2015 06:18 AM PDT The 747-200/300 or DC-10 REQUIRE 2 pilots and a flight engineer as minimum crew - They cannot legally fly these airplanes without a flight engineer - Sure, I can play "solo pilot" in a 747-200 simulator perfectly well - A flight engineer is a system operator - engines, fuel, hydraulics, electrical, pressurization - In 747-200 we had a rule - immediate actions required 2 crewmembers to agree/perform - Fact - Cost per flight hours 2 captains + 1 first officer is higher - The airline (Aerolíneas Argentinas) wanted to replace 747-200 with 747-400 - Then the unions demanded retraining many 747 flight engineers as second officers pilots - All flight engineers continued to perform their duties as before, as second officers on the 400 - Sure, I could operate as pilot without a flight engineer - I was invited by Boeing to fly the 747-400 demonstrator with one of the instructor pilots - |

Their sole concern is training pilots and making money as fast as possible for profit. They are not there to compete for local business, they are opening a new school at your airport because they need another place to accommodate the large number of students they are getting from all over the country and around the world as a result of having one of the largest advertising budgets and marketing campaigns in the business. As long as your little flight school continues to cater to local students, strives to make it a fun, welcoming place that has reasonable prices and takes a more personalized approach to training, they have nothing to worry about. |
| Question: What's the minimum age to own a license for any kind of private jet? Posted: 27 Aug 2015 02:22 PM PDT It depends on your jurisdiction. In many countries licences have maximum weight restrictions, for instance a PPL might restrict you to 12500 pounds all up as Pilot in Command and a Commercial to 30,000 lbs, or even only 12,500 in some countries. Neither of these would let you command a G550 or Falcon 7 To get to command most of them, in most countries in the world, you would need an ATPL for which the minimum age, in most places, is 21 Update: For the ''thumbs downers'' Note that I said, it depends on jurisdiction, just because John Travolta can fly a 707 as a co-pilot on a B707 in the USA, (and indeed I did some of his training on the B747, on which he is also First Officer rated), this does not mean that those privileges extend to being able to obtain a command rating in every country in the world. Note also, that John Travolta DOES NOT have Pilot in Command privileges on a B707 as far as I knew the last time I heard. You can fly any aircraft as First Officer on a PPL |
