- Question: How does the Automatic directional finder on an aircraft find direction?
- Question: I was deported from Manila airport. Can I still transit there, like flying from Ho Chi Minh city to Sydney will require transit there?
- Question: Can you undergo flight training alongside college in the United States?
- Question: Is it true that the A330 is more stable than the 767 or 777 when it lands because of the wings' size ratio?
- Question: If you are 777 F/O for about 10 years and your airline has 50 planes of the type, how often you will fly with the same captain?
- Question: Can you fly from britain to ireland by helicopter?
| Question: How does the Automatic directional finder on an aircraft find direction? Posted: 19 Aug 2016 05:23 AM PDT ADFs are medium frequency receivers, spanning the band from 200 KHz to about 1600 KHz. There are actually two antennas for it but modern ADFs integrate the sense antenna in the loop antenna housing. From there the details vary somewhat, but the effect is that of the old systems (like the venerable Lear ADFs) where a loop antenna was actually rotated to look for the null when the loop is end-on to the signal. The sense signal is mixed to reduce the number of nulls from two to one. ADFs point to the radio station, letting the navigator work out position and course for themselves.  |

| Question: Can you undergo flight training alongside college in the United States? Posted: 19 Aug 2016 12:42 AM PDT Flight training with any college is always much more expensive Do your degree studies as a regular student - And get flight training separately at a small flight school nearby - All licenses are the same - and you will save money doing it that way - At a small flight school, a PPL can be done for $10,000 - |
| Posted: 18 Aug 2016 08:09 PM PDT Nope. If anything, the opposite is true. A higher wing loading reduces the planes response to turbulence, making it feel more stable. You would NEVER "feel more lift" - unless you are pulling positive "g's", lift = weight, what gets you climbing at takeoff is power. If' you feel more "lift" during landing, it means you are too fast and floating down the runway while you bleed off speed. As Vincent has pointed out, there is not a huge variance in the max wing loading to begin with. The Airbus and Boeing engineers were working on roughly the same design problems, working with the same physical and aerodynamic laws, and came up with very similar answers. And I have to call "BS" on the whole story - "someone that knows a pilot that told him"? Unless you are Donald Trump, you can't consider that a valid source of info. I have to point out that there are precious few pilots that would be flying both types on a regular basis |
| Posted: 18 Aug 2016 06:12 PM PDT Your numbers are not possible - - A B-777 is a long range airplane, and would operate long flights - With Pan Am, on 747 - we certainly did not fly like you describe... - We had 5 bases with 747, there were at one time 36 B-747 - So your flying estimates are unrealistic... |
| Question: Can you fly from britain to ireland by helicopter? Posted: 18 Aug 2016 03:11 PM PDT Of course you can, why do you even need to ask? A large chopper like an S76 or EC145 have a range of around 400 miles. The shortest distance between the mainlands of Great Britain and Ireland is about 20 miles! Even something like London to Dublin is less than 300 miles. As to whether *you* can fly by helicopter, that depends on whether you have a helicopter pilot's licence (clearly not!), or whether you have enough money to charter one with a pilot (doubt it). I'm not aware of any regular passenger services flying between the two islands, but then that wasn't what you asked. |
