What are the worlds worst airlines?
-Here are the worlds worst airlines by country:
North America: United or South West Airlines- Primarily because they are both primarily based on budget southwest (primarily operating on 737's) does not have assigned seats or a very good cabin service, while united does have assigned seats it is very uncomfortable to fly on any of there planes because they have as many seats as possible on one plane so the seats are thinner and more unpleasant to sit in and there is a slight lacking in the cabin service.
Europe: It is a lesser known fact but European airline companies are much better than in most other
countries but if I had to choose one I'd say air berlin or Ryan Air mostly because they are the 'South West' of Europe.
Asia: Like Europe Asia does have very good airlines but if I had to choose one I'd say Korean air or Air China. Both are very United like and luxurious.
All other continents either don't have any airlines or don't have more than one.
Recommended Airlines:
U.S. Regional:Frontier Airlines/International: Delta Airlines
Europe: Lufthansa Airlines/British Airways
Asia: Singapore Airlines
Caribbean:Virgin Atlantic
Australia: V Australia
South America: Azul AirlinesSouthwest is one of the most profitable airlines in the US right now, and and is consistently among the top for customer service; primarily due to the one airplane concept. Not having assigned seats is actually pretty helpful to most people.
I wouldn't compare United to southwest at all, they are very different on many aspects. United is a Legacy Carrier, and the biggest in the world. Though I have heard a lot of customer complaints about service. (Sorry Spongebob)
On the other hand Ryan Air is a joke!
Ryan Air tried to charge for bathrooms. Want's to get rid of the first officer because they "don't need them" (that seems safe). They wanted to get rid of the seats and just put poles like a subway!!! I mean the list goes on and on.
I can't speak too much to International Airlines, but here in the U.S. The airlines are constantly being rated and every year a report comes out. There's a link below for the most recent Airline Quality Rating.
Here's a list of the airlines that are currently blacklisted (forbidden) from flying into Europe because of serious safety concerns; poorly maintained airplanes and poorly trained pilots. There are too many to type all their names in, hundreds.
To me safety is more important than customer service.
The ones that are no longer in business.
Seriously though, in what way? Worst safety record? Worst profitability? Worst on-time performance? Most baggage lost? Worst food? Worst looking flight attendants? There are a lot of categories that one can be worst in, but no airline is worst at everything.
In other words, the answer will only be as explicit as the question.
Don't know the names but probably those regional airlines in the old Soviet Republics and of course Africa.
for my money Air Canada I've had to put up with their crappy service for years because of my employer wanting me to fly them
Anything from the middle east.
The cheap airlines.
Southwest Airlines

Is flying RC Planes over big cities like Chicago, Paris, and New York even legal?
-I know that people do it, but it is even legal? Does it violate air traffic laws or anything? Does the operator have to have a license to fly it? What if it fell and, I don't know, killed somebody?? LOL. Stupid questions, I know.
But I'm just curious, because it's something I want to do someday (:It is technically illegal violation of airspace if you go over 400ft high, and is also generally categorised as "reckless endangerment". Since it is also seen as a hobby "toy", law enforcement generally won't pursue charges unless the planes cause damage to persons or property.
If your plane lost control and injured or killed someone in the 3 cities you listed, lawyers would sue you for millions and destroy your life. Please think of that, as well as the harm you may (accidentally) cause before you fly an rc plane over populated areas.No. It's too risky and not to mention the scare you would create!

6 Engine plane except An 225?
-I'm wondering if there's another 6 engine plane except antonov. Anything will be useful??The B-36 had 6 engines...
Then they added 4 jets - 6+4 in advanced math makes 10 (engines) -
But still was 6 engines originally -
Indeed was difficult to find -
And handling a keyboard is an extremely tiring project -
Also a consequence of brains atrophy - today's common disease -Sad you don't know how to use the internet and Google. Don't be too worried, many, many people here on Yahoo! Answers don't know how to use the internet and Google. Hope you are not in the "I'll let other people do the work and thinking for me" category.
One of my favorites was the Boeing B-47.
This was extremely difficult to find.

If I'm flying on jet blue by myself, what kind of ID do I need?
-I'm flying to Florida my last day of school to meet with my mom at a training she's at. I'm flying jet blue and 13 and under is considered a minor. And I'm 14. So they consider me as an adult. But when going through security what type of ID do I need. I DONT have a school ID.
Please help!!If you are not 18 years old, you are a minor. When you travel alone, you are considered an unaccompanied minor.
An adult who drops you off at the airport will have to have an ID, and will vouch for your identity.
You mother, when she comes to pick you up at the airport MUST have an ID, for to assure he airline that they are releasing you to the right person.
You might have to get a State issued ID card. You can get them at the DMV (or Registry of Motor Vehicles).
OR - you can check the Jet Blue website. The information might be there.
Good luck & have a safe trip.
just a state issued ID
Go to TSA.gov then go for travlers in that you will find the types of I.D. s they will accept

How many type of comercial plane are in use all over the world?10 POINTS?
-1)Its Boeing,Airbus......what else??PLEASE COMPLETE THE LIST,BECAUSE I DON T KNOW ANOTHER TYPE..AND I WANT TO FIND OUT.
2)How about British Airways what kind of plane are using??
3)Im a bit confuse..every type of plane are made by different company,or why they have different names?
4)Why some planes are more comfortable and sophisticated and others not??
I use British most of the time and i m very satisfied about the british air line...but i use others planes as well but they are much more simple and don t have so many facilities.
5)Why its so big difference between planes?some have more comfort and facilities ,then others
.BEST ANSWER GET 10 POINTS.THANKSa "commercial" plane is one that is used to generate revenue. Large passenger jets, cargo planes, even small single engine propeller planes that deliver mail to remote locations are "commercial". That being said, there are hundreds of different types in operation.
1. major airliners are Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Embraer, Dornier, Fokker. ATR, DeHavilland, Saab, etc.
2. BA are mainly Boeing and Airbus
3. ???
4/5. Comfort in a plane has more to do with how the airline sets up the seat configuration than with the plane itself. Some use better seats with more space between them, while others use cheap seats crammed close together. This is the main factor affecting comfort.Hersd;s another one for your collection....

I'd like to get some sunglasses..?
-that are the aviator type? Wide, large.. etc. For example these kind http://sportys.com/PilotShop/product/100鈥?/a> or these http://sportys.com/PilotShop/product/108鈥?/a>
So, what I need is that they need me to be able to see 20/20. I'm nearsighted, and can see the instruments of a plane very well, but won't be able to see very well without squinting beyond 10 feet of the plane. So I need sunglasses for nearsighted eyes (two of them lol). If I can't get any would it be weird to wear sunglasses over corrective glasses?I wear non-prescription sunglasses over contact lenses. That way you aren't restricted to 'dorky' and expensive sunglasses.
Though they do make slightly more stylish glasses that go over prescription eyeglasses, it is still within the realm of the over 60 crowd.I'm near-sighted too, and I wear prescription glasses with "Transitions" lenses. They're like regular glasses indoors, but when you step outside in the sun, they rapidly darken automatically. When you go back indoors, they will transition back to normal in a few minutes.
They do make sunglasses to wear over corrective glasses, but they're big, bulky and kind of silly looking.
They also make clip-on sunglass lenses that you attach to your prescription glasses.
But for me, I prefer the simplicity of Transitions lenses. The additional cost is about the same as a good pair of sunglasses and you don't have to worry about losing or breaking them.
Any eyeglass shop can make prescription sunglasses for you. I recommend a full coverage lens (rayban aviators are always good) instead of the square because you'll be flying and light can reflect off of the instruments. Not sure about that brand of aviators you selected. You can't really wear sunglasses over glasses unless they're the flip downs or elderly covers; you can use those but they look really dumb and don't work as well as regular sunglasses.

Can i use my student id to board a plane ?
-If you're under 18, you don't need an ID. If you're 18 or over, a student ID is not valid for positive identification. If you're 18 or over and don't have ID, you could still probably get through security, but you'd better be prepared to spend a lot of extra time getting through.
From the TSA Web site:
Adult passengers (18 and over) are required to show a U.S. federal or state-issued photo ID in order to be allowed to go through the checkpoint and onto their flight.
We understand passengers occasionally arrive at the airport without an ID, due to lost items or inadvertently leaving them at home. Not having an ID, does not necessarily mean a passenger won鈥檛 be allowed to fly. If passengers are willing to provide additional information, we have other means of substantiating someone鈥檚 identity, like using publicly available databases.
Passengers who are cleared through this process may be subject to additional screening. Passengers whose identity cannot be verified by TSA may not be allowed to enter the screening checkpoint or onto an airplane.
Acceptable IDs include:
U.S. passport
U.S. passport card
DHS "Trusted Traveler" cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST)
U.S. Military ID (active duty or retired military and their dependents, and DOD civilians)
Permanent Resident Card
Border Crossing Card
DHS-designated enhanced driver's license
Drivers Licenses or other state photo identity cards issued by Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent)
A Native American Tribal Photo ID
An airline or airport-issued ID (if issued under a TSA-approved security plan)
A foreign government-issued passport
Canadian provincial driver's license or Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) card
Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)
Non-US/Canadian citizens are not required to carry their passports if they have documents issued by the U.S. government such as Permanent Resident Cards. Those who do not should be carrying their passports while visiting the U.S.
This standardization of the list of accepted documents better aligns TSA with other DHS components, including Customs and Border Protection, and REAL ID benchmarks.No. It must be a government issued (state or federal) photo ID. Schools do not count. Children traveling with adults on domestic flights may not need a photo ID card; however, airlines may require the accompanying adult to show proof of age in the form of a birth certificate. You鈥檒l need to check with the airline on which you鈥檝e booked travel for their specific rules regarding child identification. Children, even infants, traveling internationally will be subject to the same documentation requirements as adults, meaning a passport. If you're under 18 and traveling alone domestically and you don't have a drivers license, you'll need a state iD card
I think you need to call the airport and double check, due to the fact that positive id is required, and I dont think a school id will cut it, and what if you spend 2 hours and get to security and find out no, you cannot go, where does that put you, and the rest of your party?
No, you will need a passport and a ticket for the flight of your choice.
Student ids are only accepted for school related events, generally on campus.
No. You need a ticket to board a plane.
Yes if is a 2011 school Id.

What is the significance of having aerobatic team with 8 supersonic jets?
-In this link it says this: ''TURKISH STARS, is the only aerobatic team performing their displays with "eight" supersonic NF-5 aircraft...''
http://www.turkyildizlari.tsk.tr/index_E鈥?/a>
What is the singificance of performing aerobatic displays with 8 supersonic jets? Russian aerobatic teams perform aerobatic displays with 9 supersonic jets for example. Is there any specific difficulty with doing it with 8 jets?they just have 8 jets and the F-5 can go mach 1.6 so it makes sense to say that
you're honestly over thinking it

How do helicopters move back and forward?
-The lift comes from the rotor, which can be angled relative to the fuselage towards the front or the rear, from pilot's input. Have a slight angle forward, and there is part of the lift that is towards the front, acting as thrust. Angle the rotor the other way, and a hovering helicopter will start moving backward.http://science.howstuffworks.com/transpo鈥?/a>
Can an airline pay for my aviation academy?
-I don't know if this is true but i once heard that sometimes airlines pay the cost of the aviation academy as long as the pilot works for them afterward. I don't know if this is completely true, missing some major parts or not true at all please i need all the help i can get on the subject. thanks in advanceIn USA it is out of the question - none whatsoever -
Use to be long long long long ago -
Then everyone got the idea, got sponsorships, and after 1 month on the job, quit -
And go where the pay is better -
That's USA - you got money, you get it -
No money...? - No education or training... same thing for medical help -
Do not ask why I bailed out of there -
In the USA it is not true at all. No airline will pay for training or to my knowledge ever has. There is sponsored training at a few airlines in other countries but you must be a citizen, speak the language fluently and there are very few openings. Competition for sponsorship in these programs is as intense as it is in the military.
In the US, up till a few years ago, airlines were charging you to get hired; not a chance.
Sorry. I'm not an airline. I was once mistaken for a Trout stream but this is the first time someone thought to ask me a question that, rightfully, only an Airline could answer. I'm not sure I trust you with an airplane when you mistake Yahoo for an airline. Next you'll be mistaking The ground for the sky. I suggest cooking lessons instead.

How much does a helicopter cost?
-This question is almost like, how much does a house cost! The answer is, it depends on the helicopter. Do you have a specific one in mind, there is a big difference between say an old Bell 47 and a new Bell 429! Even more if you need a large helicopter!
A Rotorway can be found for 50-75K, a 2002 Augusta A109 is availble for 3.5Mill http://www.jameslist.com/advert/185868/f鈥?/a>
or a 2007 AW139 for a mear 11.9Millhttp://www.jameslist.com/advert/162135/f鈥?/a>
You can spend even more depending on what you buy.
Like most things in life, it all depends on what you need/want as to what it will cost!Assuming you're talking about a real (not RC) helicopter, and assuming you're interested in the price of a brand new one, it varies greatly, depending on what you want. The Robinson R-22 is generally considered the cheapest commercial helicopter, with a base price of $250,000. The Sikorsky S-92 is probably one of the most expensive, with a base price of about $32 million. But that's only for civilian helicopters--military helicopters are a whole different story and it's not an easy answer because of the way the prices are calculated.
If you have to ask the price you can not afford to buy one!
Very expensive.
are we talking a model, RC, or a real one
My friend just bought one for $39.00 at the Brookstone shop in the airport that runs on AA batteries.
How much do you have?

My dad has lost 4 of his fingers in an aircraft accident. Please help!!!!?
-My father works on the raft at the airport. Earlier this evening his work called my mother & said he had an accident - we thought the first but hes ok. He has lost four fingers in his left hand. He is still in Recovery after coming from the theatre. We cant see him yet but i was wondering what happens next?
What will happen to his hand? Will he be ok when he wakes up? Im so sad. He hasnt woke up yet so he dosent know anything yet. Is there any kind of prostetic can be used? (excuse spelling) or has he lost his fingers forever.
Any help/advice would be appreciated. I think im going to see him tomorrow if im allowed.
Thank you xxxIf his fingers weren't completely destroyed or lost the doctors have surgically reattached them, here in the US medical technology has come a very long way, granted he has a lot of recovery and therapy to go through, but he will be fine, Workman's compensation insurance will take care of the bills for now and if he really has lost his fingers he will be retrained in another field of work and will have to cope. sorry to hear of his misfortune, and wish him a speedy recovery.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. A lot depends on the damage done to his fingers. If they are intact and relatively undamaged and were kept clean and safe, they may possibly be able to be saved and reattached. A lot will depend on the extent of the damage done but I hope he is okay. Prosthetics are a possibility. If he is right-handed, it would not be as bad, (although I realise it is still a bad thing to happen), as if he was left-handed. Good luck to you and your Dad.
For now the best thing you can do is support him and be thankful it was not worse. As far as the rest of your worries they will come with time in his recovery and I would not worry about that now. He will need you there by his side more now just be there for him.
Sorry about your father.
He lost his fingers! My uncle have a similar problem..but was cut over the hand..and he lost the fingers..the fingers die and get black so the doctor must cut them off..If your dad lose the fingers,...then are gone forever!
Nothing will happen..now he must recover after the amnesties..and that s it.
I'm so sorry to hear about your father. Are you UK based? If so visit www.making-a-claim.co.uk now and complete the contact form. No Win No Fee Claims Specialists standing by to get your father the compensation he deserves.
If the fingers were properly preserved then they could have re-attached them. Also, if they can't, I've heard of people replacing fingers with toes, because you don't need all of your toes, or fingers.
visit the doctor immediately
First of all. Take a deep breath. you are doing a good job and your Dad will be proud of you. The lose of 4 fingers is a big deal. Were they able to save any of them ? I know a man who is in his 60s and all his life he only had a small thumb on his right hand,He was a family man,had a good job And owns his own house. your dad will be fine but there will be some changes in his life. if your Dad is a strong man( i think he is) He will see this as a speed bump in the road and not a life changing event.
Please do me a favor and when you get some free time please send me a short e-mail on how he is doing. I will make sure to pray for him and your family. Believe in the lord and everything will work out fine. Its not the small hills that make a man better. Its the big mountains and the best climb them 1 step at a time. All our best from New Jersey. He will still be a man and he will still be your Dad. It will be a long road for him but with you behind him he will climb it just fine

What will happen to his hand? Will he be ok when he wakes up? Im so sad. He hasnt woke up yet so he dosent know anything yet. Is there any kind of prostetic can be used? (excuse spelling) or has he lost his fingers forever.
Any help/advice would be appreciated. I think im going to see him tomorrow if im allowed.
Thank you xxxIf his fingers weren't completely destroyed or lost the doctors have surgically reattached them, here in the US medical technology has come a very long way, granted he has a lot of recovery and therapy to go through, but he will be fine, Workman's compensation insurance will take care of the bills for now and if he really has lost his fingers he will be retrained in another field of work and will have to cope. sorry to hear of his misfortune, and wish him a speedy recovery.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. A lot depends on the damage done to his fingers. If they are intact and relatively undamaged and were kept clean and safe, they may possibly be able to be saved and reattached. A lot will depend on the extent of the damage done but I hope he is okay. Prosthetics are a possibility. If he is right-handed, it would not be as bad, (although I realise it is still a bad thing to happen), as if he was left-handed. Good luck to you and your Dad.

Is it still possible to get a pilot job for ups in this economy?
-I work for ups in Arkansas as a part time supervisor. This ups is a center not a hub. They say I can transfer to another ups for school purposes if I need to. I have a private pilot license, I'm working on my instrument now. I'll have a bachelors in aviation this fall. I'm not transferring yet because I work 2 jobs to pay for the flight training. As soon as I am done getting my certifications I am going to try and transfer to a hub to be where the planes are. My managers hope the best for me but they aren't confident that there will even be a flight job for me in the next few years. I don't Want to quit ups because I have my foot in the door but if there is even a small cargo plane or airline that wants me I might have to take it because I'll be able to build hours. I am trying to meet as many people as I can. Should I stick around ups til I'm finished with my flight certificates or should I go ahead and quit. My other job pays more bc it's full time and im starting to get burned out I work third shift at one job and midshift at ups as a dispatcher. Im going to school too and when I get 10000 by december I'm going back to flight school to finish my certificates. I'm also female and companies get compensation from the government for this could that help me get hired? I wish some pilots would start retiring. Ive been working on this since 17 with no financial help from my parents they don't even have a car I walked 3 miles to work and the airport to do this. It took 5 apps in my area for ups to notice me. I almost gave up hope and just jokingly said I would lay down in front of their trucks until I was hired.The airline hiring boom (including cargo careers) announced by the flight schools is not there yet - Fact is, flight schools are announcing a pilot hiring boom since october 1973... Admit it with me, they need excuses to get more students spending their hard earned dollars -
As far as the pilot employment market, do not hope anything spectacular in the next few years, pilots retiring or not, there is a glut of licensed pilots with a couple of thousand hours of experience still waiting for jobs, so when you get your CPL, you will be at the end of the line -
Sorry for the bad news and hard facts - give me thumbs down as appropriate for the plain truth - The more negative the airline industry is, the more I get thumbs down -
No. UPS currently has over 100 pilots on furlough. Even if they were hiring they wouldn't be interested in you until you have 2,000 hours with about half of that time in jet transports. Their interview requirements are stiffer than most passenger airlines. That's just to get interviewed. If you check the qualifications of who they hired (when they were hiring) most had 5,000+ hours.
I am currently a commercially rated pilot. You will not get a starting pilot job working for UPS because you are going to need to meet their minimum hour requirements... which if you only have your private.. the minimum you have is 40. I believe UPS required 1500 PIC hours to even be considered for a job with them as a pilot.

Howz the present scope of girls in being commercial pilot? ?
-My former airline has about 500 pilots -
There are 3 lady pilots, 1 of which is a captain on 737 -
I knew that one quite well, she is an excellent pilot -
Another one has taken a leave of absence, she had a baby -
I understand there is one that has been hired earlier this year -
No much interest by women to be pilot here in Argentina -My former airline has about 500 pilots -

Does anybody know any good Monouvers to do for an airshow on FSX?
-I'm doing waddington virtual airshow and i don't know what maneuvers to do in my F-22? any ideas?Hey "Virtual Ace":
Have you tried to do 1 minute standard holding patterns -
And the ones with 1 min 30" non-standard - observe speed limits -
Procedure turns for course reversal -
Stalls recoveries - clean, departure configuration, landing configuration -
ADF approaches - 30 knots X-wind -
The above are the best "Monouvers" to learn to do in a FSX -
.Firstly you might want to get a different plane, the Raptor is far too twitchy for that kind of flying (i.e. it's almost too manoeuvrable), the L-39 from Lotus Sim is a good one.
You could attempt a Hammerhead, Immelmann, spins, low inverted, "down and dirty" nose up low over the runway, barrel rolls, loops and even the "heart loop" if you had a partner to fly with. VERY hard to do but looks great once mastered.
I'm with Skipper on this one. I would be most impressed seeing you do ADF approaches w/30 knot X-wind - with the wx set down to minimums(CAT II), then go missed into a hold WEST on the 090 bearing to the NDB that is 15nm from of the field. .....followed by a LOC-BC..... partial panel.
roll sequenced roll loop immelmann chandelle.
Try doing a barrel roll with a 747
I don't think an F22 will do "monouvers"; what ever they are.

How many hours would it take a Cessna 421 C to go 600 miles?
-Since I don't want to have to rewrite the entire book, I am only changing where the main characters live to get them closer to the destination they need to travel to via a very small plane. So, how long would it take this particular plane to travel roughly 600 miles? Google maps doesn't go over water (which they need to in the story) and by car it would be 705 miles away. I really need help with this since I know absolutely nothing about small planes, or even big ones for that matter...lolI presume you mean statute miles and not nautical miles. For flight planning purposes (weather, atc routing, etc) plan on 2 1/2 hours, plus or minus the effects of wind from the time the plane leaves the runway until it lands. Add extra time for taxiing for takeoff and after landing. At busy airports, atc routing and ground time is usually longer than at rural airports. Average wind depends on both the area of the flight, the direction of flight and the time of the year. At flight altitudes the wind almost always blows. In average weather with average taxi times on the ground, the trip might take anywhere from 2 to 3 hours total. In other words, more information is required
A Cessna 421C crusing speed ranges from 275-300 MPH i would take about 2 hours give or take, deppending on the weight and winds.
TAS @ 75% is about 240 Kts. So it will take you about 2 and a half hours. The wind will change this speed.

I have an airforce propeller, how do I find out what it is worth?
-It's a kliptop met-prop 1A102 Design.It isn't worth anything but the scrap metal if it doesn't have the airworthiness paperwork.
I am not sure where you got the 'kliptop' from, but the MET-L-PROP and the model number (1A102) indicate that it is a McCauley prop that was commonly used for vintage light aircraft of which some might have been in military service (like the Piper Cub/L-4).
The fact that it was (is) commonly used on the ubiquitous Cessna 150 deprives it of any collector's value.
I've got a McCauley MET-L-PROP 1C90 that is sitting on my healing shelf in my maintenance office for lack of paperwork. It does make an interesting conversation piece though....

How many times a week would an A-10 pilot in the U.S. Air Force usually fly?
-How many times with the attacks and the drills and everything?Daily if in combat, sometimes more than once a day. There are pilots that will sit in that seat for over 8 hours, landing to do hot reloads and refuels.Normal (not combat) two or three times a week.
Airline mechanic pay?
-I'm going to a public high school that gives me my FAA mechanic license for free. They say the pay is around 50,000 to 60,000 dollars a year, when i get this license i will work with it during collage then save up for flight school to be a commercial pilot. I will be hoping to get a scholarship for collage. How much does a starting mechanic get payed for and airline? (estimate)Airline mechanic is a tough biz. I know many that have been laid off several times over. 50- 60K is about right, if you can get with and stay with a good airline. I'm not sure what the entry level rate is for an airline right now, but 35-40K is in the ballpark.
Do go to college and get a degree in a back up skill(NOT aviation or professional pilot stuff). Engineering is a good goal, because when you get laid off as a mechanic or furloughed as a pilot(almost guaranteed to happen) you'll have something to fall back on. As mentioned before, many A&Ps are more successful in other industries like auto, railroads, and boats. I'm an A&P mechanic and commerical pilot but I build communications satellites now and make a good living. There are many A&Ps working with me as well as pilots, all who have been laid off and furloughed many times working in aviation.
So think outside the box. You A&P can get you places, but avation these days is a tough business. If you must stay in aviation, get you pilots ratings and find a job that REQUIRES both your pilots certs and A&P. That will make you stand out, whereas the airlines don't care if you have that extra rating. A mechanic is a mechanic and a pilot is a pilot.
Many airline mechanics quit the aviation industry -
To work with Mercedes, BMW or Porsche dealerships and earn better money -

How much to overhaul a GE CJ610?
-Hello. Suppose I find a timed-out CJ610 core that needs an overhaul. Can someone tell me how much it costs to overhaul one? Also, what is the hot-section inspection interval, and how much does that typically cost? I know the price will assume no repairs needed, and if something needs to be repaired it will cost a lot more. Thank you all in advance.When I see questions starting with "suppose", it is about as far as I go -

In fixed wing aircraft, which one is a longer distance [details follow]?
-a. length of takeoff run
b. length of landing run in takeoff configuration
just a rule of thumb guesstimateThere is no "rule of thumb" unless you get more specific about the type of airplane you're interested in. It depends on the thrust to weight ratio of the airplane which affects its acceleration, and it's wing loading which affects its takeoff and landing speeds. Some fighters can take off in under a thousand feet but need thousands of feet to land. Airliners accelerate more slowly and usually require more distance to take off than to land. There are general aviation airplanes that can take off and land in almost their own length. Those are distances on the ground and assume typical weights. Heavy or light airplanes can change the distances dramatically.
The published required takeoff and landing distances include safety factors for possible malfunctions or pilot technique, a pilot can't always put it down on the numbers, and that changes things.
Some airplanes are less affected by weather and runway conditions so that can also change the answer.
I apologize for giving a rather complicated answer to what you thought was a simple question.
What you are asking is how the distance it takes the engine to accelerate the plane to take off speed compares to the distance it takes the brakes to stop the plane from roughly the same speed.
A rule of thumb would not apply, it's going to be dependent on the power loading and brake efficiency of the particular model. In most light planes, the landing distance would be the shorter distance.
My little L-21B airplanes (I got two of these which are used in my glider and banner tow operation) are capable of spectacular takeoff distance - The L-21B is the military version of the PA18-150 and is capable of takeoff in only 200 feet distance... but its landing distance is 350 feet - Not too many general aviation airplanes are capable of such spectacular numbers - Stalls at 35 KIAS with full flaps -

I want to know about all the arrival and departure of all flights at all Indian airports....?
-I want to know about all the arrival and departure of flights at all Indian airports.... I want to know the latest info on this....Please suggest me the web sites ......
How can something so heavy as an aircraft stay in the air where as a human would fall down.?
-same as them, it's because of the wings. additional info, the shape of the wing is called an "AIRFOIL". as the Bernoulli's principle stated, as the velocity increases, the pressure decreases. the shape of the wing is built this way. the upper section is longer and the lower section is shorter. when the air passes trough this "AIRFOIL", the air in upper section moves faster than the air under the wing. means, there is greater velocity on the top. also means, there is lower pressure over there. thus, lower velocity under the wing, higher pressure. high pressure always and always pushes the object with the lower pressure. thus, the wing pitches up! that's what we called "LIFT". and the angle produce is what we called "ANGLE OF ATTACK" trough the shape of the wing, the airplanes can fly... =jThe difference between an aircraft and a human is their wings.
Wings generate lift, ignore all the other nonsense about the engines keeping it up, that only happens at hover only in a Harrier, and the new F-35. But when the aircraft is moving forward the wing, as such, cuts the air.
So, heres how it goes:
The air at the top of the wing has a longer route as the top of the wing is more curved than the bottom.
A particle of air takes the same time to reach the other side of the wing whether it passes the top surface of the wing or the bottom. This creates a pressure difference due to Bernoulli's principle. (very difficult to explain).
Furthermore, this low pressure essentially pulls the aircraft up in the air and this will equal or be greater than all opposing forces. e.g. gravity, causing the aircraft to fly.
Just saw your additional information, Just think of this, a micro lite!
A human with wings attached and an engine. And that is generally, how an aircraft stays airborne!
its due to Bernoulli's principle
and let me add one more thing -------> the aircraft has to be in constant motion [continuously moving] -----once it stops in mid air ------it will fall like a rock
whether the engines are on -----or if they fail -----the plane must keep moving in gliding action ------if movement of a plane stops in mid air it falls
the motion of the plane over the air ------alone creates the lift ---which causes the plane to be in the air
just my view
good luck
A aircraft has the ability to create lift from the engines and the wings. Humans can't fly because they have no wings and if the happen to jump off a building, many of them panic and not try to flap their arms.
The air pressure difference caused by the different curvatures of the top and the bottom of the wings cause the air lift the plane. Search for airplane, wing, and lift. A human using a hang glider will also stay in the air.
its all to do with the shape of the wings ..flat on bottom ..curved on top ..as air passes over it creates lift -flying...it has nothing to do with the engines ...if it did ..how would a glider stay in the air ? am sure there will be more technical answers for you ..but trust me ..its the wings
It's called aerodynamics. Humans are not aerodynamic, meaning our bodies are not shaped to create aerodynamic lift. We have a very low lift-to-weight and power-to-weight ratio and a very high modulus of aerodynamic drag. Watch this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk6rNFVc1鈥?/a>
because the force of lift created by the air being moved over its wings is greater than the force of attraction of gravity of the earth.
Bernoulli's principle and the effect upon a properly designed wing resulting in lift from motion.
Newton, Bernoulli and magic.
By the law of aerodynamics. The wing section creates lift. If we had wings we could fly too.
what would happen if you were to put a very heavy human in an aircraft eh?
The thrust from the Jet Engines keep it in the air, without them it would hit the deck like a rock falling from a height!
The Jet engines have some serious power.
Take the Harrier Jump Jet, the thrust from it's engines are able to life it up!

Is a push propeller better than a pulling propeller?
-i was looking at concept aircraft and they said that a push propeller mounted on the tail would increase fuel economy is that even possible?
it is the same prop just mounted backwards isn't it?At least in theory the prop blast from a pusher prop does not increase the speed of the air flowing past the parts of the airframe behind it, so there is less parasitic drag from most of the airframe.
At cruise the reduction in drag is not as great as you might think. Prop blast looks like a hurricane when a plane does a stationary run-up, but at cruise the airflow in the prop blast is only 15 to 20kts greater than the airflow elsewhere.
The theory rarely works in practice, for a number of reasons. Chief among them is that putting the prop behind the airframe insures that you do not have consistent airflow across the entire propeller disk. As a result, you lose some thrust.
The other problem has to do with getting a reasonable center of gravity with the weight of the engines and prop that far back - for stability, a plane needs to be a little nose heavy.
John R has the right idea. The pusher prop won't have much better performance at subsonic speeds, and at it won't work well, if at all, in the transonic or supersonic range. There is a real disadvantage because it has to operate in the "dirty" are behind the airframe. Another serious problem is engine cooling during ground operations. They are pretty and "futuristic" just not really practical.
Why not have both? The Cessna 337 Skymaster is one..

A push propeller is better because it is the back. it gives you better performance
all I know is pusher props can look a lot better
CIP = Beechcraft Starship
push it, pull it, it's all the same really. one goes backwards and one goes forwards. it's all you need to know .

Why are we not allowed to?
-Why are you not allowed to bring make-up with you on a flight to England? Will they throw it away? Even if I bring a lip gloss with me, will they make me throw it away, or are they not that strict? Please answer, I have a flight in 6 days.
Things you need to answer: Why can't I bring make-up? What they'd do if I did? And if they will let some of it slide?you can bring make up,.. if it's liquid, you have to have it in a 3 fluid ounce container or less, and zipped in a quart size zip lock bag. anything larger will be confiscated by security officials. this is a worldwide rule that was implemented after some people tried to blow up an airplane with liquid explosives.
You also can bring as much as you want in your checked luggage.

What do you think about these planes?
-I know that they all need to be overhauled, except for the Comanche. I'm new to shopping for planes, so tell me if they look good. Are the avionics old? What will most likely have to be replaced? What is the fuel economy on those three planes? GPH? Etc. Tell me everything I will need to know...also, what will most likely be the cost to fix all these problems (overhauls, avionics replacement etc.) these planes will have? Thank you in advance. If they're not good, tell me of a plane that I'll be able to afford on a $80,000 salary. I have no kids or extra unneeded expenses.
Also, this is a pretty crazy question, but is it possible to bring a plane of a Cherokee's size to a airport on a trailer or something?
http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail鈥?/a>
http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail鈥?/a>
http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail鈥?/a>$80k salary is not really enough to operate planes like these. 12gallons per hour of 100LL costs over $70 per hour. Airport fees, maintenance, scheduled and unscheduled, the annual inspection, insurance, etc will run you at least $15-20k per year. Forget about the cost of upgrading the instruments/avionics.
Since you are single, why not buy a Light Sport Aircraft LSA? You can only carry one other person and they are slightly slower, but they can be owned and operated for a cost similar to owning a luxury car.Operating a small GA plane is about as expensive as operating a bass boat. First you need to know how to fly, that will let you in on lots of people and answers to questions like these. Telling you everything you need to know would take the 34 years it took me to learn what I know now.

Why does my head spin so bad when an airplane lands and takes off?
-when the plane takes off and lands my head spins so bad to the point that i cant see and i feel like im gonna pass out...its the most horrible feeling. does anyone know how to keep this from happening? im going to be flying all over in the next few weeks and this is a big problem for me.It is called motion sickness.
Motion sickness is a normal response to real, perceived, or even anticipated movement. People tend to get motion sickness on a moving boat, train, airplane, car, or amusement park rides. Although this condition is fairly common and often only a minor nuisance, it may be incapacitating for people who travel frequently -- although the more you travel, the more you get used to the motion.
The most common signs and symptoms of motion sickness include:
鈥ausea
鈥aleness of the skin
鈥old sweats
鈥omiting
鈥izziness
鈥eadache
鈥ncreased salivation
鈥atigue
Motion sickness occurs when the body, the inner ear, and the eyes send conflicting signals to the brain. This most often happens when a person is in a moving vehicle such as a car, boat, or airplane, but it may also happen on flight simulators or amusement park rides. From inside a ship's cabin, the inner ear may sense rolling motions that the eyes cannot see, and, conversely, the eyes may see movement on a "virtual reality" simulation ride that the body does not feel. Interestingly, once a person gets used to the movement and the motion stops, symptoms may return (although usually only briefly). Sometimes just anticipating movement can cause anxiety and symptoms of motion sickness. For example, a person who had previously had motion sickness might become nauseous on an airplane before take-off.
The following are the most common risk factors for motion sickness:
鈥iding in a car, boat, airplane, or space shuttle
鈥oung age -- children ages 2 - 12 are most likely to get motion sickness.
鈥usceptibility to nausea or vomiting
鈥eightened level of fear or anxiety
鈥oor ventilation in the vehicle
鈥itting in the back seat or where you cannot see out the window
Most people who have had motion sickness in the past ask their health care provider how to prevent it next time. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and find out what usually causes the problem (such as riding in a boat, flying in a plane, or driving in car). Laboratory tests are generally not necessary to establish a diagnosis of motion sickness.
There are several ways you can try to prevent motion sickness:
鈥it in the front seat in a car.
鈥eep your eyes on the horizon. Don't read.
鈥est your head against the seat back, to keep it still.
鈥urn the air vents toward your face.
鈥on't smoke.
If you have motion sickness on a plane, try these tips:
鈥void big, greasy meals and alcohol the night before air travel.
鈥at light meals or snacks that are low in calories in the 24 hours before air travel.
鈥void salty foods and dairy products before air travel.
鈥it toward the front of the aircraft or in a seat by the wing.
鈥urn the air vent flow toward your face.
If you have motion sickness on a boat, try these preventive measures:
鈥sk for a cabin on the upper deck or toward the front of the ship.
鈥hen on deck, keep your eyes fixed on the horizon or visible land.
You can use medication to control your symptoms, but people who travel often will want to learn to control -- and eventually prevent -- these symptoms. Mind-body practices, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and biofeedback, may help. Other alternatives to medication include homeopathy, acupuncture, dietary supplements, dietary changes, and physical exercise.
Medications
Medications for motion sickness may cause drowsiness and impair judgment. Pilots, ship crew members, or anyone operating heavy equipment or driving a car should not take them. The following medications may be helpful to people who experience motion sickness motion sickness occasionally:
鈥ollowing these nutritional tips may help reduce symptoms and improve overall health:
鈥void spicy, greasy, or fatty meals.
鈥on't overeat.
鈥rink plenty of water.
鈥ry crackers and carbonated drink (such as ginger ale) help some people avoid nausea.Fluid in your inner ear is sloshing around upsetting your balance. Google "inner ear balance" for a full explanation.
It may be related to your grammar.
No, seriously, talk to your doctor.

How hard is it to get a job as a flight instructor?
-I will be getting my CFI, CFII, and MEI by the end of this year. I was wondering how hard it is to get a job at flight schools? What are the interviews like?I know a guy that was trained by a flight school and he got a job as an instructer at the same place only a few weeks later. If you get a job at the place where you were taught, then it is much easiar because the place knows and trusts you, and they know that you have been taught the way they want and that you will be teaching the way they want. It's really not difficult. It's hard to believe, but a lot of pilots get thier first job as an instructor at thier flight school.
Nice to know that pilots with virtually NO experience teach people to fly -
If I wanted to learn to fly, I would like instructors with a few years of experience -
And a little bit of grey hair and maturity...
Or I would take my business some other flight school -
And if I own a flight school, I would not venture to give a valuable twin engine plane...
In the hands of a kid with minimum flight hours -
In the airline industry, no brand new captains are selected to be instructors -

Looking for a six seater?
-I'm looking for a low-wing, six seater plane. It should be efficient on fuel. Under $1.20 a mile for fuel would be preferable. Under $60,000 dollars preferred, will go up to $100,000. I was thinking about a Cherokee 6 260, Lance II or Saratoga. Unsure. Here are links to a few I was looking at. Also, would it be bad if I bought a plane for under $40,000? Should I expect lots of problems?

Thanks in advance:)You need to narrow this down some more. There is a big difference in maintenance expense between the Lance and the Cherokee 6! One is a retract one is fixed gear! You will be much better off with the 6/300 over the 260 if you really want to carry 6! Of course the Lance already is 300HP. There is also big differences in 1968 vs 1978 aircraft as well! You really can't compare them the way you are attempting to go. Any aircraft with DAMAGE history will be cheaper than the exact same aircraft without any history! Aircraft that have high time engines or engine issues will be much less expensive than those with low time factory engines etc etc. There literally are 250 items that can and do affect aircraft values... just price comparison won't work!
You do need to know that gas is about $5.00/gal and these will burn near 20 gallons an hour if that were that case then 100/hr for fuel alone should be expected. Considering that is the tip of the iceberg you may want to rethink what it will actually cost to run!
There are several good sites that review the Sixes! http://flycorona.com/plane.asp is one, they figure 139/hr to operate and that was when gas was 3.50/gallon. The plane exchange also has a good one http://www.theplaneexchange.com/reviews/鈥?/a>
If you buy the cheapest plane you can find, yes you will have some issues..... they aren't priced low for the fun of low prices, they are priced low in most cases because they 1. need lots of work to be airworthy 2. need a new engine 3. they have been heavily damaged and had quick fixes, 4. the owner is an idiot (not often the case really it isn't).
If you really are serious, hire a buyers agent they usually pay for themselves ... would you buy a house without help? Someone who buys aircraft, knows the market, knows the process, knows the pitfalls, can and will save money in the long run.
PS all of the ones you listed will need engines very soon other than the 68 and maybe the 72. Check the engine TBO specs on the aircraft specifications. None of the Turbo (like the Saratoga or Lance) will make the full TBO. All of them (with the exception of the LANCE) have OLD avionics as well.Love the under $1.20 per mile and a six seater do you have any more jokes like that!

Wanting to be a bush pilot.?
-What is the pay like? Where is the best country to fly in i.e Alaska, Australia, Africa.... (Scenery) Any recommended Airlines i.e Era Alaska... (Flying Wild Alaska was my inspiration)
Thanks!The pay in Alaska is about 6500 a month. Which is 78,000 a year.. and I'm not really an expert on pilots and that. But yeah good luck with that :)Pay, whats that?
Any flying has to be for the love. The industry suffered a huge blow for the last several years.
Alaska, Cananda is probably many peoples choices. Perhaps more opportunity for paying customers/ tourists.
It is not a high paying lifestyle, if that is very important to you, head for the airlines instead, even there the pay is way down, and the road up is long.
Perhaps look into the flying missionary school in Washington state. They will teach you and you have to give them a committment to fly with them for so many years, but think of the adventure and good work you will be doing. Dont remember the name, but should be an easy search on the net.
I thought about being a bush pilot once, but found that bushes are extremely hard to fly. I decided on flying airplanes instead.

Are twin-engine fighter jets better than single-engine ones ?
-If yes, then why doesn't the F-35 have two engines ?
If not, then why do Typhoon, Rafale, Sukhoi and the rest have only one ?Hello there
I am the surfer
2 engines is almost customary practice
Examples F - 15, remarkable, long range capable kill, excellent over lebanon 1982
F - 4 , good in vietnam and israelis did the best of them during many years
Su 27, the most agile fighter modern times wil see, vertical climb un - matched by none other plane eastern or western impressive maneuver capability
Mig 25, high altitude interceptor, pilots claim they see earth curve, no single engine jet goes so high so fast!
, Su 37 ,remarkable.
A 10 Thunderbolt II Tank Killer , spectacular performance over gulf war
F 18 Hornet
F14 excellent during iraq - iran war, iranians did Absolutely great
EA6B prowler , perfect service ever since vietnam.
F111 raeven electronic warfare 2 engines
look after redundant systems inside A 10 warthogs very necessary and very capable, plane sustains damage and keeps going on
after korean war it almost became non written rule to have 2 engines better than one
Single engine
French Mirage F1. good in the hands of Israelis, popular all around latin american air forces
F16 .good for every thing , very versatile
Starfighther F 104 , great, but cruel in the hands of novice pilots, Burns too much fuel
F 105 Thunderchief, spectacular vietnam service
A - 4 skyhawk superb over falklands war
Many single engine jets are one pilot only, then modifications meant pilot and weapon specialist on the back . examples F 15 was 1st single pilot then became 2 pilots, F1 mirage french plane is mostly 1 pilot, A4 skyhawk was always one pilot only, most of times F16 is one pilot. F18 was single seater then became 2 seats, F14 was always a two seats plane A10 is always single pilot plane. F111 was always 2 engines two pilots
Depends on missions , doctrine and number of pilots to be trained
From the surfer
Twin engine aircraft are statically safer than single engine aircraft just like Kirk said; because if one engine fails you still have another engine that works. While the F-35 does not have 2 engines, the F-22, F-15, F/A-18, all do. What is interesting though, is that the U.S. Navy plans on using the C variant, which does have fold-able wings, but still only has one engine. I always thought it was a U.S. Navy requirement for their aircraft to have 2 engines? On the other hand though, if you only have one engine it is probably cheaper to produce and maintain.
F-35 has only one engine as it has the capability to hover, the Typhoon and Rafale have two because they are airborne superiority fighters and if an engine fails they can still fly on one engine to the nearest friendly airbase.
The only reason their are 2 engine fighter jets is because if one engine fails you still have the other. The second engine does add extra weight but the power output compensates for it, easily.
If not, then why do Typhoon, Rafale, Sukhoi and the rest have only one ?Hello there

Is a push propeller better than a pulling propeller?
-i was looking at concept aircraft and they said that a push propeller mounted on the tail would increase fuel economy is that even possible?
it is the same prop just mounted backwards isn't it?At least in theory the prop blast from a pusher prop does not increase the speed of the air flowing past the parts of the airframe behind it, so there is less parasitic drag from most of the airframe.
At cruise the reduction in drag is not as great as you might think. Prop blast looks like a hurricane when a plane does a stationary run-up, but at cruise the airflow in the prop blast is only 15 to 20kts greater than the airflow elsewhere.
The theory rarely works in practice, for a number of reasons. Chief among them is that putting the prop behind the airframe insures that you do not have consistent airflow across the entire propeller disk. As a result, you lose some thrust.
The other problem has to do with getting a reasonable center of gravity with the weight of the engines and prop that far back - for stability, a plane needs to be a little nose heavy.
John R has the right idea. The pusher prop won't have much better performance at subsonic speeds, and at it won't work well, if at all, in the transonic or supersonic range. There is a real disadvantage because it has to operate in the "dirty" are behind the airframe. Another serious problem is engine cooling during ground operations. They are pretty and "futuristic" just not really practical.
Why not have both? The Cessna 337 Skymaster is one..

A push propeller is better because it is the back. it gives you better performance
all I know is pusher props can look a lot better
CIP = Beechcraft Starship
push it, pull it, it's all the same really. one goes backwards and one goes forwards. it's all you need to know .
it is the same prop just mounted backwards isn't it?At least in theory the prop blast from a pusher prop does not increase the speed of the air flowing past the parts of the airframe behind it, so there is less parasitic drag from most of the airframe.
At cruise the reduction in drag is not as great as you might think. Prop blast looks like a hurricane when a plane does a stationary run-up, but at cruise the airflow in the prop blast is only 15 to 20kts greater than the airflow elsewhere.
The theory rarely works in practice, for a number of reasons. Chief among them is that putting the prop behind the airframe insures that you do not have consistent airflow across the entire propeller disk. As a result, you lose some thrust.
The other problem has to do with getting a reasonable center of gravity with the weight of the engines and prop that far back - for stability, a plane needs to be a little nose heavy.
John R has the right idea. The pusher prop won't have much better performance at subsonic speeds, and at it won't work well, if at all, in the transonic or supersonic range. There is a real disadvantage because it has to operate in the "dirty" are behind the airframe. Another serious problem is engine cooling during ground operations. They are pretty and "futuristic" just not really practical.

Do you have to pay to keep a plane at an airport?
-If I had a small prop plane, would I have to pay to store it at a general aviation airport?Yes. Do you expect free parking? You will have to pay a lot. Park it in a backyard or something. It's free.Yes, it's called a tie-down fee. It's usually paid monthly to your home airport. And if you go tie-down your plane at another airport for any length of time, you'll usually have to pay a daily tie-down fee to that airport as well.
Stopping for fuel, bathroom breaks, rest breaks and other short stops generally do not incur any fees, but if you park overnight or sometimes for just a few hours, you'll likely have to shell out a few bucks.
Yes, but it really depends on the airport. Busier, larger airports tend to charge more than a small rural airport.
Yes, you will have to pay to keep a plane at an airport as an parking fees to the airport.
probably
yes indeed.. major airport have higher fees compare to low cost airport
Yes. No exceptions, but some are a lot cheaper than others.

How did john travolta become a commercial pilot?!?!?!?
-i would like a detailed answerHe does NOT have a commercial pilot license -
He has a private pilot license -
Various type ratings in business jets - PIC in G-1159 -
He has a B-707 B-720 type rating limited to SIC privileges -
It means he needs a 707 captain going with him to fly the 707...
https://amsrvs.registry.faa.gov/airmenin鈥?/a>
He just learned to fly for fun - and got qualified on a few airplanes -
He owns several bizjets and the B-707-138B
To my knowledge, he does not hold a commercial pilot certificate. He's a private pilot, single/multi engine and instrument rated. He also holds type ratings to fly various different jets. All of this can be obtained by anybody with enough money.
Probably by going to flight school and acquiring the hours and experience to become a Commercial Pilot.
As skipper noted, he is type rated for several big birds, but he doesn't fly "for hire" so he doesn't need a commercial ticket.

What to say to someone who is afraid of flying?
-Me and my family are planning a holiday to Fuerteventura in a couple of months.
But the only thing putting my Mum off is the four-hour-plus flight there and back.
So I was wondering, if we did decide to go on that holiday, what could we say or do to calm her down when we're on the plane?
Thankyou :)tell her the pilot is experienced, make sure the weather is nice so it doesnt spoke her and tell her just close her eyes to sleep. Since i used to fly a lot, when shes on the plane be sure to have her chew gum because it helps with the pressure change... and when the plane goes side to side just tell her its like a rocking chair sideways
Tell your mom that "You should know that there are more car accidents than plane accidents."
So if she's been on a car, she shouldn't be afraid to ride a airplane. Millions of people fly a day and they're not afraid.
Alcohol usually works great
There are no icebergs in the sky to hit.
tell her to read the statistics on car accidents
"Go to the doctor and get some xanax."

Can I become an airline pilot with Scheuermann's disease?
-Yes, it's not a disqualifying condition provided you are physically able to fly and not on any medications the FAA prohibits. Steve Layt did it.I don't know the answer to this question, but there is a medical section on this pilot forum, and they are more likely to be able to assist you: http://www.pprune.org/medical-health-62/
I am pretty sure you can't. To be a pilot, you need to be medically fit. Sorry!

What do i need to know to become a pilot?
-when i was younger all i wanted to be was to become a pilot, im 14 now the plane i really want to fly is an airbus a380 its my dream plane its the one i want to fly the most, i really just want to know what i have to do to get to that stage of flying an airbus a380, i wana no what it takes to be a pilot (captin) what would i really have to know like maths or science, who picks the plane i fly me or someone elsehey im 16 yrs old and from wht i know you have to gain more then 40 hours flying time in a singled engine aircraft. if you want to become a pilot i strongly reccomend that you go 2 oxford aviation academy where you will learn evrything you need 2 know about being a pilot i think they get you employment with an airline.
You need to know how to speak and spell properly in the English language. Pay attention in school. (Punctuation counts too!)

A Jet Engine. Why does the air flowing through it have to be less than the speed of sound?
-A jet aircraft can fly faster than the speed of sound (Mach 1).
But in the engines, the air flow into them is deliberatly slowed by the inlet shape to a speed below that of Mach 1. Why cant the engines operate with an airflow through them that is greater than Mach 1?They could try, but the friction of the air against the sides of the engine would create shock waves to slow the air down again. If there is only one or two strong shock waves (as there would be at the first compressor stage), it would be very inefficient and possibly damaging. Also, normal jet fuel combustion cannot happen at supersonic velocities.
Instead, they deliberately slow the air down using a series of weak shock waves before it reaches the engine. This also make the engine design easier since all it has to deal with is subsonic flow.
As speeds get higher, it gets more difficult to slow the air down. That is why faster engines are typically ram-jets or bypass the compressors at high speeds (like the J58 on the SR-71). The next step up is the SCRAM jet that can sustain supersonic combustion.The transition from subsonic to supersonic speeds creates turbulence inside the engine that disrupts the smooth flow of air into the compressors, and could cause the engines to 'flame out' or stop producing power. To eliminate turbulence, the speed of air flowing through the engines is kept to subsonic.

Which attack helicopter Rooivalk more looks like?
-The south african rooivalk is obviously not much original and a bastard of several different attack helicopters. So which of these have inspired roovalk more: Apache, cobra , eurocopter , mil-24?The Denel AH-2 Rooivalk looks more like a cross between the Eurocopter Tiger and Italian Augusta Magusta. The South Africans most likely either got help from Italy or stold the designs from the above listed helicopters and built what is a cross between the 2 and another little know helicopter only one made in the United States but long since cancelled after the only one built crashed and was called, the Sikorsky-67 http://www.helis.com/70s/h_s67.php http://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/鈥?/a> It doesn't have any likings to the Mi-24 Hind and very little if any to the AH-64 Apache or Cobra.

Are the Mechanics of the Pod Racers accurate to real life jets or are they created by reference and random sha?
-I want to draw things like Pod Racers and things but it almost seems as if the artists I see know about Engineering or there just really good with smoke and mirrors.
I'm a decent artist who can draw like this, but I'm not going to Engineering School to become an Artist. Becoming a good Artist is hard enough and takes a Lifetime to learn.
Reference shows tubes, blades, parts, isn't that all you need or do you really haft to go to the trouble to make it extremely operational?
Also, if working at a Professionals level at a Movie Studio, do you haft to really understand a lot of Machinery or is the old saying true and as long as I have Mechanical reference, I can make a Pod Racer for this company without it being completely Mechanically realistic and functional.
I don't care if it really works. If I can convince, that's all I need.
Okay Teachers, big time Artists and highly talented Jedi Painting Masters.
Now's your time to prove your expertise by giving the most knowledgeable answer.
( This question is not suited for beginners or Student's but for highly Trained Professionals. No disrespect, they just have a butt load of knowledge that I would like to absorb.)
Thank you and may the Force be with you.Experts on POD RACERS?? - good luck with that one. These are fantasy machines that utilize technically impossible drive engines and anti-gravity lift. Most of the pod racers in the movie didn't even have directional control surfaces, yet they were extremely maneuverable.
So the answer to the question is no; the mechanics of the Pod Racers is about as far from accurate as you can get and still appear semi plausible.
And please don't presume to set the conditions as to who may answer your questions; it's insulting.Dude, it's called science fiction for a reason. First off... gravity. How do you get them to just float? The pod idea? Giant engines tethered to a cockpit? How is that going to work?
They are a fantasy concoction , obviously. Suppose you had technology to levitate four feet off the ground even when parked, would you still need turbine engines to propel you forward?

Should I join the airforce or go to college? Just graduated aviation mechanics school and have an A&P license?
-I want to be a pilot eventually one day its my dream. Thing is I don't have money for it, I would have to save up for it. My dilemma is College for aviation maintenance or join the airforce. I know its very hard to become a pilot for the army most people dont get in and I dont like the 4 year commitment part. But I know the army has more options and opportunities. So in the end no matter what I want to be a pilot. Any advice?My nephew went to VMI and is serving his country as a jet pilot. So a college education for flying airplanes is needed. Pretty much any branch of the service has pilots so you aren't restricted to the Air Force.
I would recommend, as the poster above suggested, doing some research. Your dream is best fashioned when you are the designer. Thank you for considering service to our country.
Do the college ROTC, Air Force or Navy -
Or do the Army, as Warrant Officer and fly helicopters now -
No college degree required for Army -
Out of the Army, you get a FAA rotorcraft/helicopter pilot license -
Then with your GI Bill, get a fixed wing CPL or ATP transition -
I did the AF ROTC, and AFRES - I owe my airline career to that -

Whats the best way to gain flying hours to get an ag pilot job?
-I am a private pilot and am planning on going to an aerial application school to become a cropduster next year. I was wondering if the best way to gain hours in a taildragger for insurance purposes was to buy a small taildragger or to rent one. Any info about any of the following would be great. Thanks.If you can afford to buy one, do so. If you cannot, rent as many hours as you can. Either way the name of the game is being insurable and total tailwheel time is very important. You need a high level of tailwheel proficiency, particularly operating at max gross weight out of small, mostly unpaved airstrips and in crosswind conditions. It would help if you could work a season as a loader and flagger for an ag operation so you can "learn the ropes".
Can you hook a plane to a car?
-If you have a plane with a wingspan of 30ft, can you attach it to the back of your car and drive it on the road?Sometimes they launch gliders with a car. When I was little my dad used to fly in them and they would pull them with a car to get them in the air. However, I don't think that it would be legal to pull along behind and above you on a highway or road. Besides, the rope could get tangled in trees and under bridges and tunnels
If you'd like to take a wing off a plane and decapitate someone. Unless you have a plane that is made to do that then most likely, no. However if you figure out how good luck. Also, person who said the plane is heavier? You lack common sense. I can have a 3,000 pound Ford but can pull a 5,000 trailer.
Technically you can, but legally - probably not. In many countries you will need to prove that the load is non-divisble to get the oversize load permit.
No, not unless it has folding wings. An 8 foot width is the maximum legal width for anything travelling on public roadways unless you get a wide-load permit which allows up to 12 feet.
No. You should know this already. To transport the plane, you will need to fly it or remove the wings.
No, a 30 foot wingspan is wider than the traffic lane on the road.
why/when would you ever need to do that?
I don t think so...plane is more heavy then the car
But give a try,and let us know :D

Do flight attendants get their freak on with the pilots?
-just wondering. there's rumours that it happens. i was on a flight a while back, one of the flight attendants were out of the cockpit the whole time while the other stayed in the cockpit. when the plane landed she came out smiling and all giggly.
i'm not saying they do it 100% of the time, but it surely happens, right?Pure imagination of the general public -
Same as doctors do with nurses -
And lawyers with their assistants -
I was airline pilot during 40 years in my life -
Never dated a flight attendant who worked with my airline -
In the late 1970s, I dated one who was with TWA, based Paris -
And I was with PanAm, different airline -
We just had met at a party with airline employees in Paris -
I am married now - and my wife is NOT a (former) flight attendant -
Edit - Last minute, YES, I remember one now...
One time, a flight attendant tried to make a pass at me -
I even recall his name - was Bruce -
In flight? No chance, everything in the cockpit is recorded. Maybe years back I don't know, but not now.
Do they sometimes have relationships/affairs or whatever you want to call them? Of course they do, people often meet people at work. My friend who's a captain for one of the airlines married a flight attendant.
Yeah it's true during mid-flight. Pilots like flirting with flight attendants. Flight attendants like flirting with pilots. Im not agreeing to this because pilots can get distracted from flying.
Not during the flight, but sometimes on the layovers at destinations.
Why would you say that ?
nope.....

Can a student pilot fly with a density altitude?
-I'm a little confused. if the ASOS at an airport is telling me the temp is 26 degrees celcius, and the density altitude is 1,200..can i still fly over there? its in the desert,, but the airport is 100 ft under sea level. its gusting over there at 17kts too..my instructor would totally let me go, but rules state a student pilot can't.
your opinion?Density altitude is what it sounds like. It's how "Dense" the air is. If the ASOS is reporting a Density altitude of 1,200 ft. that means the airplane, on departure, is going to perform essentially like an airport at 1200 MSL, instead of one at -100MSL. The airplane will perform more poorly due to density altitude. That said, a density altitude of 1200 isn't something you should probably worry about realistically.
I presume the winds are the primary factor in saying you can't go? Generally school rules are rules due to insurance requirements. If you ignore them, or fly outside of the envelope of rules, your insurance is probably as good as void for the flight.
The wind is the only limiting factor really. 1,200' density altitude is nothing. Lots of students have trained from airports over a mile high.
Yes, that is nothing and very common in many areas during the summer. Go to an airport in AZ and you'll see density alt upwards to 5,000- that is when you better have a good plan and plenty of runway. Also landing in the mountains, like in CO is the same scenario, you may not have an official density altitude reported, but the air is so thin that performance is reduced.
All density altitude does is change the airplane's performance to the particular Daltitude reported. The higher you go, the less air the airfoils and the engine have to grab a hold of. Check the POH, which you should be familiar with, and see how the performance is reduced...it won't be by much in your case.
Now keep in mind though that with higher density altitudes (3000' +), you may want to approach higher in airspeed than normal because the plane will want to settle faster, the best case is that it is a harder than normal landing. Then you should always take into consideration of the XW factor, which will be about 9 kts added...you'll be coming in quickly.
If you've performed well so far, your instructor should allow it unless the owners of the a/c have placed their own rules. It may actually be due to the gust factor that he's talking about, I would not let a first time solo student go into a gust factor higher than 10 Kts or a substantial crosswind component...they do require the pilot to be a little more sharp and ready to go-around or abort the landing. At your stage, you may not have the necessary training for such conditions, it all takes time.

Yes, that is nothing and very common in many areas during the summer. Go to an airport in AZ and you'll see density alt upwards to 5,000- that is when you better have a good plan and plenty of runway. Also landing in the mountains, like in CO is the same scenario, you may not have an official density altitude reported, but the air is so thin that performance is reduced.
All density altitude does is change the airplane's performance to the particular Daltitude reported. The higher you go, the less air the airfoils and the engine have to grab a hold of. Check the POH, which you should be familiar with, and see how the performance is reduced...it won't be by much in your case.
Now keep in mind though that with higher density altitudes (3000' +), you may want to approach higher in airspeed than normal because the plane will want to settle faster, the best case is that it is a harder than normal landing. Then you should always take into consideration of the XW factor, which will be about 9 kts added...you'll be coming in quickly.
If you've performed well so far, your instructor should allow it unless the owners of the a/c have placed their own rules. It may actually be due to the gust factor that he's talking about, I would not let a first time solo student go into a gust factor higher than 10 Kts or a substantial crosswind component...they do require the pilot to be a little more sharp and ready to go-around or abort the landing. At your stage, you may not have the necessary training for such conditions, it all takes time.

Is there any Pilot training in India where i can study Physics and Maths at the same time?
-Try NDA ...Bro , If you're serious about pilot training , contact me , even I'm planning to start up a course soon. I'm looking out for study buddies . Cheers

I'm looking into being a cabin crew in the near future- but im worried because of the low pay?
-I have been wanting to be a Cabin Crew member for most of my life, i have lots of times in my life so far and i think flying is for me.
But looking at the pay for the airline i want to apply for (Virgin Atlantic) they have a 拢12,000 salary, I don't really think this is enough? Im worried for later life when i have kids, a house of my own, my own car and im really worried what would i do because of the low pay, i know money doesn't go as far as it used to now a days.
But they always say money cant buy you love and happiness right?
What do you guys think? No stupid or rude comments.There are 2 choices.
A boring job with a good pay.
An exciting job with a crap pay.
It is rare that the two will combine into a good pay, exciting job.
And it is still a rather unskilled entry level job/career that only requires 1 month's training and a good personality and maybe some secondary school qualifications. But due to the obvious rising operational costs of airlines today and it being a rather competitive career it is still difficult to get into without any previous experience or tourism type qualifications.
I'd say go with it initially until you find someone or have kids and work your way up to a number one, or cabin crew supervisor. There the pay is likely to be 25K rather than 11K with possible careers within the airline group, manager work, etc where experience gained has allowed you to work your way up.
There are many entry level jobs which allow for this opportunity, even a shelf stacker at a large supermarket can become a team leader then supervisor then shift manager, department manager andeventuallyy a 40k per anum store manager and end up running the store with obvious training along the way.
But don't expect cabin crews to work there way up to the flight deck, those guys had to work thee way to that position with no financial or flight training help from the company, except type ratings.Research your proposed career. Besides the low pay it is really not condusive to a home life with kids. If you do have that nest building instinct and desire a family you should reconsider. Little jimmy will be graduating primary school and you'll be on a layover in Bangalore. That would suck.
I know someone who worked as cabin crew for quite a few years and I was told that the job is little more than being a glorified waitress with jet lag. Be careful about thinking of the job as some kind of romantic globe-trotting endeavor, it might be exciting for a while but when you're trying to go to sleep in a dingy hotel 5000 miles from home at 7AM with jackhammers and motorcycles blasting away outside, it's not fun anymore. If it's something you really love to do though, then take that into account.

Any pilots seen a UFO?
-Just curious-Yes. I'm not saying I saw a flying saucer with little green men inside though. I did, however, see something in the sky that I could not identify. Several other airline pilots saw the same thing I did, two of which were coworkers who were on a flight that was at least 80 miles away from us at the time.
A UFO by the literal meaning means a plane that cannot be identified by a radar, by that, I have. A science fiction UFO is different. I don't believe in them personally nor have I seen any.
I saw a hawk fly into a cloud at 6000 ft. last week.
I could tell what it was, so I guess it was not a UFO.
However, it was not something I wanted to challenge for airspace.
Google the name "John Lear" - You will get plenty about UFOs -
John Lear is a retired Tristar captain...
I'm not a pilot, but I have seen one.
My cousin is a pilot and he has.

Anyone from India going to a USA flight school ?
-I'm planning to go to a Florida school soon. I'm from Mumbai.
How can i become flight steward?
-i am pursuin my study in frankfinn institute of airhostess training so please help me out , i am totally confused?apply
Want to be cabin crew but don't want to miss out on my children?
-If you have answered or read my previous questions then you should no how much i want to be cabin crew.
I do plan to have children of my own in the future but im scared that ill miss out, like on there first steps, first word, first day at school etc because ill be flying or in the hotel on the other side of the world waiting for the trip back home.
I have thought about getting some sort of video camera then however would be looking after them to video it and show me when i get back but i just dont think it would be the same.
What should i do? Its really my dream job?You have nothing to worry about. International flights are the most desirable routes and get picked by seniority. With most airlines you'll be a grandmother before you have enough seniority to snag an international route. It's rather easy to swap flights with other attendants on domestic flights.

Took a flight yesterday and was wondering, what exactly is turbulence?
-BQ: What causes it?It is a special thing invented by airline companies -
Pilots have a switch called "Turbulence ON/OFF" -
When the flight attendants call the pilots "can you get passengers to sit...?" -
They switch "turbulence ON" and when the airplane shakes, they all sit -
Of course they put the "Seat belt sign ON" as well -It's a violent or unsteady movement of air or water, or of some other fluid.
Turbulences are mostly caused by wind shear and pressure differences

Wanna be an AF pilot?
-Yes I need some assistance on figuring out what I would need to do so I can be prepared like what tests to take what should i doI am amazed at how many times this question comes up. And the backwards manner in which interested parties approach it.
If you cannot meet the rigorous physical/medical requirements, all the best academic test scores will be of no use to you whatsoever. Find out if you can meet those standards first.

Does anyone know if this airline?
-Does anyone know if American Eagle Airlines gives an aptitude test for A&P Mechanics, and if so, what should I brush-up on? Best answer will be chosen for best information.Know the regulations inside out and how to fill out the required maintenance paperwork properly Know your hardware and fastener identification and application. Know how to properly safety wire fasteners and other components. Know how to handle a torque wrench properly and how to determine correct torque settings and if the wrench is within legal compliance. Know how to inspect and properly and safely change a tire. Know how and where to quickly find the information you need (regulations, maintenance practices, etc) if you do not have it at the tip of your tongue.
What does aviation fuel look like?
-links of a photo or something? doing a group presentation on it.. want to know how it looks... so i can make a fake sample and say its aviation fuel..Fuel for aviation is color coded so you can easily tell if it is correct. For piston aircraft the gasoline is commonly referred to as AVGAS and there is a couple different types. 80, 100, and 100LL (Low Lead). They are Red, Green, and Blue respectively. Jet Fuel also has a few different types: JET-A, JET-A1, and JET-B but are all relatively close to the same color; which is commonly referred to as straw colored, or clear.
The AVGAS is very similar to what everyone one uses in their car. 100LL is the most common, and the main difference between it and what you put in your car is a slightly higher octane, and the addition of tetra-ethyl lead (TEL) a toxic substance used to enhance combustion stability.
Jet fuel is kerosene based. The main differences between A, A1, and B is the freezing points. JET-A or JET-A1 are the more common types.
There's a link below with the colors of fuel. (The blue is usually a little lighter color than it shows.) Hope this helps.
100LL Avgas used in piston aircraft engines is very much like unleaded gas that cars use and it is dyed pale blue. Jet fuel is very similar to automotive diesel fuel and it has a light straw color.
Reddish, bluish, yellowish, and not very tasty...

What's the difference between a BAe-146 and an Avro Rj70?
-and secondly, I'm having a debate with my frien, he says that a Bae-146 or an Avro Rj 70, would NOT be able to go from Dublin, Ireland to Reykjavik, Iceland, or T贸rshavn, Faroe Islands ... and I said it would be able to go to either cities from Ireland, but he said it would not reach it even by a long shot ... who's right?The Avro Rj70 is an updated variant, with different jet engines that provided better fuel efficiency.
Distance between Dublin and Reykjavik is about 1500 km. The range of a BAe-146 is 2900 km. So your friend is dead wrong.
The cruise speed of a BAe-146 is around 750 km/h, so flight time would be a bit over 2 hours, to take into account the take-off and landing phases that are not flown at cruise speed.
Distance from Dublin to T贸rshavn is shorter still, at about 1000 km.

FSX: Aircraft pitching problem during cruise.?
-I recently re-installed my FSX acceleration. Normally what I would do is reach cruising altitude with the autopilot on, set it to 16x speed (max allowed with autopilot on) and allow the flight to run it's course while I do other things, making sure I keep the ATC contact on.
However now after I re-installed my FSX acceleration and I follow the same steps with ANY passenger aircraft (from the default 737 to the Overland/SMS A380) once I set it on 8x speed, the pitch is continuously fluctuating up and down, along with the autothrottle attempting to balance out.
I have tried re-installing again but it does not change anything, it worked perfectly at 16x simulation speed before but now I do not know what is wrong. Any ideas to fix this anyone??have you tried the video & online games section
cause most people on here know more about the avionics in the actual planes than what's going on w/ your computer

Requirements for applying for a Commercial Pilots Licence?
-I live in India and am Studying in the 12th Grade, Commerce. Can i apply for a CPL after i pass out, Or do i need Science with computer in the 12th grade for applying? HELP ME!!! I HATE COMMERCE!In India, they probably have some "required" classes before you can learn to fly. A certain amount of math, physics, etc. Which really doesn't do too much to help you fly by the way. Certainly it does help you understand the basic principles of flight but most people can learn those without a "formal" class education.
In the US you simply apply to a flight school, pass the medical, pass the FAA written tests and learn to fly! If you have the desire, work ethic, and ability you can get your CPL regaurdless of your "educational" background. Most ATP's which are flying for airlines have a Degree from a college or university, that degree can be anything from Business to Education to Engineering. A CPL although required, isn't of much use for airlines these days, very shortly an ATP will be required even for the co-pilot's seat.
.
definitely have good hearing

Is it possible to book a one way AND a roundtrip flight at the same time online?
-Can you have your cake and eat it too? No.
You could bake two cakes so that you could have one and eat the other.
Please elaborate on the circumstances of your problem. Are you trying to book one-way for one person and round trip for another in the same transaction? No, I don't think you can do that, but you can do it in two transactions.

I am a Nurse, I have been a staff nurse for over a year specifically in the Emergency Room. Should I apply?Yes, apply - you are likely to be hired -
Because of big pluses - (1) nurse (2) languages -
You are F/A material for international airlines -
yes! you defenetly should! dont let your teeth set you back your a nurse too so that's even better. flight attendants are usually tall so Thats a plus! no one will see your teeth so there is no problemmoooo. good luck!!

What is the significance of having aerobatic team with 8 supersonic jets?
-In this link it says this: ''TURKISH STARS, is the only aerobatic team performing their displays with "eight" supersonic NF-5 aircraft...''
http://www.turkyildizlari.tsk.tr/index_E鈥?/a>
What is the singificance of performing aerobatic displays with 8 supersonic jets? Russian aerobatic teams perform aerobatic displays with 9 supersonic jets for example. Is there any specific difficulty with doing it with 8 jets?they just have 8 jets and the F-5 can go mach 1.6 so it makes sense to say that
you're honestly over thinking it

What commercial aircraft would there be in 20 years time?
-Would it be the B787 or far more highly advanced?In 20 years, airplanes will not have excised. Airlines will run out of business. Flying cars will be used all around the world. No need for airplanes anymore.
if I could actually see that far into the future, I'd probably be rich and wouldn't be wasting time on here
In 20 years time we would of stopped using commercial airlines, Everybody will be using Tele-porters
Look into this webpage at page 9, that will be how Airbus passenger plane would look like in 2050.
http://www.airbus.com/galleries/photo-ga鈥?/a>
B787 B747-8 B767 (These kind of aircraft)
There will still be lots of 737s in airline service.
i'm sure they are already planning out for a B 797. we'll see that in about half a decade or more

Aviation Careers???????????
-Besides airline pilot (which is a crap industry right now) how else can someone interested in flying fly professionally? I have seen a lot of aviation guys on here and im looking for your answersCorporate pilot would be my recommendation in this age -
All the other great things about being airline pilot date back from the 1960-70s -
It is well over now - The future of airlines is "Ryanair" type air carriers -
Besides spending US$100,000 to get a license and a jet type rating -I am with Skipper.
Commercial, corporate is the way to go,
Lots of jobs, Not really high pay unless you are willing to go up north,
i know 3 airlines/ cargo outfits in Nunavut and other Northern outfits that are hiring.
Corporate piloting jobs offer some of the best salaries right now. It's actually a great choice. The military is always an option, too.

Do you have to be beautiful to become a flight attendant?
-Just wondering cause I'm considering doing that.I haven't seen a beautiful flight attendant in years. They're all ugly, pissed off old hags/younger future hags that ALWAYS have a confrontational attitude when you have the misfortune of asking them a question.
So no, clearly this is not a requirement anymore. In fact I bet they hire ugly ones due to some sort of ugly girl affirmative action.
Yes you do need to be an attractive female. I mean of course they can not straight up say they only hire good looking females because that is discrimination, but they do only hire good looking females. Oh, and good luck getting a job as a flight attendant. Applicants show up by the thousands. Literally.
No, but it can't hurt. On the whole, most flight attendants are pretty average in looks but very few are overweight. Some of the best FA jobs are on high-dollar international corporate jets. Many corporate operators hire very attractive FA's who also have college degrees, EMT certification and multiple languages. A good appearance is what their wealthy clients expect. .
perhaphs it depends on the country. According to a relative of mine (she lives in Germany), she has never seen "unbeautiful" or "unattractive" flight attendants on an airplane yet.

ignore my first answer and watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5jrZBvFz鈥?/a>
Judge for yourself.
No you don't need to. I seen many ugly ones.
I don't see why you couldn't you look fine from your picture, but I don't think there are many FAs left, airlines keep cutting costs.
Definitely not. On the last BA flight i took all the FA's were pretty plain to be honest ~ though all hard working women who took good care of their pasengers (Thanks Marie, you are great).
Anyone can become a flight attendant. The airlines in the U.S. do not discriminate based on looks or anything else. However If they did I'm sure you'd still get the job! ;)
No, just presentable and good with rude people. You are a pretty girl anyway.
Not from looking at Donald, the FA on our helicopter shuttle.
Not at my airline.
That would be discrimination
no, there are even male flight attendants and I doubt they are "beautiful"
Yes you do and no you are not!
baby your all ready beautiful =] <3

Help Im really scared of planes?
-I have a flight in 3 weeks and Im terrified.
Its a 2 hour flight,
I have been on a plane before like 20 times but Im still really scared (I always am when it comes to planes)
Please help me!Me too, I was really scared of airplanes -
But I retired... finally - 24,000 flight hours of terror - during 50 years of my life -
Well, I still fly a little, with little airplanes...
I will take a Xanax, for my next flight, like Mr. Pilsner says -
In my next life I will be a bus driver -
You should know that there are more car accidents than plane accidents. You should worry about getting to the airport instead. Been flying since 2004. No far, no accidents. Most accidents happen because of mechanical error, or pilot error. This question has been asked 20 times. Why can't you look it up instead of wasting 5 points.
Bring something with you on the flight that will preoccuppy your mind and let you enjoy the short trip on the plane. the best thing is to just be distracted with music or a movie or book. whatever it is bring it with you and just focus on that. take a nap even to ease your mind.
just try to relax. if you have been on a plane before, then you know what to expect. and its a short flight. don't be worried! I've been on a plane twice and it was a 16 hr and 13 hr flight. but yeah, just take it easy :) it will all be fine.
The chance of your plane crashing is 1 in a billion planes are the safest way to fly
planes are very safe us mechanics spend hours upon hours inspecting each individual part and pilots are very trained. youre safe
See your Dr for some Xanax. Better living through chemistry.
Why would anything a stranger says make you feel better?

Most accidents happen because of mechanical error, or pilot error. This question has been asked 20 times. Why can't you look it up instead of wasting 5 points.
Bring something with you on the flight that will preoccuppy your mind and let you enjoy the short trip on the plane. the best thing is to just be distracted with music or a movie or book. whatever it is bring it with you and just focus on that. take a nap even to ease your mind.
just try to relax. if you have been on a plane before, then you know what to expect. and its a short flight. don't be worried! I've been on a plane twice and it was a 16 hr and 13 hr flight. but yeah, just take it easy :) it will all be fine.
The chance of your plane crashing is 1 in a billion planes are the safest way to fly
planes are very safe us mechanics spend hours upon hours inspecting each individual part and pilots are very trained. youre safe
See your Dr for some Xanax. Better living through chemistry.

-They have indoor plumbing, paved streets, less horses & more cars, etc.
They may find themselves in the wrong category as well.The aircraft forum is an odd place to ask. Catford doesn't even have an airport.

How do I start my own airline?
-how much would I need?
just curious :D :PStarting an airline is tough. Running a profitable airline is even tougher. From startup airlines to established industry leaders, the process involves constant learning and adaptation.
Few businesses have as many variables and challenges as airlines. They are capital-intensive. Competition is fierce. Airlines are fossil fuel dependent and often at the mercy of fuel price volatility. Operations are labor intensive and subject to government control and political influence. And a lot depends on the weather.
But the intrepid entrepreneur is not alone. The Startup Boeing team assists entrepreneurs in launching new airlines. From concept through launch, Startup Boeing offers guidance, review, analysis, data, resources, contacts, and referrals to qualified startup airlines.
Selecting the optimal airplane based on market, network plan, traffic estimates, interior layout, economics, and performance requirements is a good start. But now the airline entrepreneur must source the airplane. Decisions must be made about lease-versus-buy and new-versus-used. Airplane availability may be a challenge. Such factors may drive the airplane selection or even change the business model.50.000 million dollars , buy a small run way, computers, licence, small air planes, pilots, health and safety regulation , fuel, mechanics, employees , aircraft parts, , and much more,..or you could buy a small private jet and start at the bottom ,advertising,
To quote Richard Branson...
"If you want to be a Millionaire, start with a billion dollars and launch a new airline!"
if you have to ask on here, there's no way you can
You'd need close to a skillion dollars,
Buy an plane for the fro the graveyard and of of money
lol
