| Question: Any a380 flight schools + what would be the fees? Posted: 20 Sep 2016 05:12 AM PDT There are no "A380 flight schools" - the training is done by the airlines that operate them, or by Airbus under contract to those airlines. There are no flights schools that offer A380 training that would take someone from off the street. Unless you work for an airline that operates them, there is no reason for you to train on one, unless you are planning on hijacking one. You have the sequence wrong - you do not train on an A380 then get hired to fly them ,you get a job with an airline that operates them and when you have the seniority to move up, they train you. That' s true of all most any type of airliner. So in your fantasy world, if you paid for A380 training and somehow got hired, the first thing the airline would do is train you on the A380.  |

| Question: Aircraft load factor? Posted: 19 Sep 2016 10:23 PM PDT Aircraft actually turn by directing lift in the direction they want to go, They do this by banking, so that there is now a part of the lift pointing inwards towards the centre of the circle they are flying round and part of it still acting upwards to keep the aircraft airborne. So we now need more lift, because the amount we are developing in level flight is only enough to keep us level, if we use some of that to accelerate us into a turn we will lose height. So we pull back on the controls to increase lift. The lift is now accelerating us into the turn and holding us up. The wing is carrying more load than it was when it was just supporting our weight. As the bank steepens, the lift acts more into the turn than it does to keep us up, so we need to go on adding more and more lift, the aircraft sees this as an increase in load. At 60 degrees we need as much lift to hold us in the turn as we did to stay up, or vice versa if you like, but this is twice the lift we need to simply stay up in level flight. The wings are working twice as hard so see this as twice the weight. The acceleration required to keep us in the turn and flying level is called Centripedal Force. The forces it has to overcome, which wants to take us out of the turn and down are Centrifugal Force and Gravity. There is probably a formula to work it all out and I probably once knew it, but at 68, the old brain isn't what it was! |

You want to go fast...? - Get over Syria... |

| Question: What skills does a commercial pilot need to have? Posted: 19 Sep 2016 01:58 PM PDT More than skills, being a commercial pilot requires two personality traits: 1-A huge sense of personal responsibility (you have from tens to hundreds of lives under your direct responsibility. So you have to always follow all the rules of flying, of your airline, and of air traffic. You have to be responsible in keeping enough rest hours and on avoiding alcohol or other substances that may impair your performance). You cannot cut corners, or cheat, because then you and many others pay with their lives. 2-The capacity to concentrate under enormous stress and pressure (in an emergency, you need to keep your cool despite the sensation of the plane falling, multiple alarms going off, other crew members trying to communicate with you, remembering procedures, and also, being able to figure out what is happening and find a solution). In terms of actual "skills" it takes very little in the way of physical skills to fly a plane. Most commercial airliners have controls that are easy to operate. You basically push buttons and levers. Flying IS a skill that takes years to master, and you will be learning new things every day you fly. However, to become be a successful pilot, you have to have the personality traits that lead to being a good one. |
