Cars & Transportation: Aircraft: “Question: What s mean by ICAO?” plus 3 more

Question: What s mean by ICAO?
Question: Are pilots not able to operate a DC-10 or 747-100/200 at all without a flight engineer?
Question: Is ATP a bad company to learn to fly with? Also, do people tend to go there over a smaller flight school?
Question: What's the minimum age to own a license for any kind of private jet?

engines, fuel, hydraulics, electrical, pressurization -<br/>He is also in charge of accounting numbers (i.e. fuel reserves) and maintenance log entries -<br/>Most flight engineers I flew with had an A&P (mechanic's) license -<br/>In case of a malfunction/emergency, a flight engineer performs check lists with one of the pilots -<br/>(> Not a pilot alone to make check list errors and mistakes...!) -</p><p>In 747-200 we had a rule - immediate actions required 2 crewmembers to agree/perform -<br/>Not like some idiots when the LH engine failed, and captain shuts the RH engine ...!</p><p>Fact -<br/>Boeing and Douglas presented airplanes with 2 pilot crews (excuse = save operating costs) -<br/>Most if not all these airplanes were long-haul airplanes (flying long flights) -<br/>A crew of 2 pilots + 1 flight engineer could fly up to 12 hours-long flights -<br/>A flight crewed by 2 pilots is limited to 8 hours flights -<br/>So most of these long haul flights required 3 pilots (of which 2 captains) and a first officer -</p><p>Cost per flight hours 2 captains + 1 first officer is higher -<br/>Than cost of 1 captain, 1 first officer and 1 flight engineer -<br/>So most "2-pilots crew airplanes" (often requiring 3 pilots) have higher hourly crew operating costs -</p><p>The airline (Aerolíneas Argentinas) wanted to replace 747-200 with 747-400 -<br/>We showed them that cheaper used 747-300 had same passenger seating capacity than the -400 -<br/>No additional range was required - Fuel savings were minimal -<br/>They ended buying used ex-Canada 747-400 -<br/>Final word, 90% of the 747-400 flights were operated with 3 pilot crew...!</p><p>Then the unions demanded retraining many 747 flight engineers as second officers pilots -<br/>75% of the flight engineers elected to become pilots -<br/>They became "cruise co-pilots" to occupy a pilot seat above 10,000 ft during cruise -<br/>Each flight engineer training to commercial pilot license required $50,000 training costs -</p><p>All flight engineers continued to perform their duties as before, as second officers on the 400 -<br/>External walkaround, cabin inspection, check list performance, maintenance logs -</p><p>Sure, I could operate as pilot without a flight engineer -<br/>But I would prefer to have a flight engineer and would not need a first officer...!<br/>My decision to remain pilot 747-200 was based on the airline decision to get 747-400 -<br/>There was no extra pay to be pilot 747-400 -<br/>And as I said before, I disliked "glass cockpits" and had no experience with these -<br/>You do not teach old dogs new tricks (I was age 60) -</p><p>I was invited by Boeing to fly the 747-400 demonstrator with one of the instructor pilots -<br/>I flew the 400 for 1 hour from Boeing Field, made 3 touch and goes at Moses Lake, WA -<br/>Flies the same as a 747-200/300 - I did like the extra power of the CF6-80 -</p></div><img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif" border="0" height="1" width="1" /></div>  </td>  </tr>  <tr>  <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;">  <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;">  <a name="3" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20150827193155AAjtm7b">Question: Is ATP a bad company to learn to fly with?

Their sole concern is training pilots and making money as fast as possible for profit.<p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div><img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif" border="0" height="1" width="1" /></div>  </td>  </tr>  <tr>  <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;">  <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;">  <a name="4" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20150827142202AA5WCiI">Question: What's the minimum age to own a license for any kind of private jet?</a>  </p>  <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;">  <span>Posted:</span> 27 Aug 2015 02:22 PM PDT</p>  <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><div id="">It depends on your jurisdiction.
