Hear, hear.

Yes! This! I am the same.

Same here.. in fact I didn't have the opportunity to ride an airplane yet.

This would be excellent!

up!

Leo Ferreyra nahhh more like a fun day tbh

Leo Ferreyra what's this based on? First day at an airline seems like a fun and exciting one, not scary at all. You've trained for it and as a pilot you're supposed to deal with the stress.

I agree with Leo Ferreyra, first day is rough. To me it was like the first day of a new school year. Also, first day you don’t fly, you go into a class room and start going over stuff, policies, rules, regulations, HR, and stuff you didn’t even know was out there. Then if you pass that, you move on to learning your new airplane. It’s about month to a month and a half worth of work before you even touch a plane. The amount of info thrown at you is insane and is called drinking from the fire hose. Some one said it like taking a semester of college and doing it in a month. Yes you are excited but definitely scared and wondering if you made a good life choice.

Thanks, have a great day/night.

Not supposed to lift gear on the ground. The plane will fall down and crush.

Marc Watson a type rating is required here in the U.S. to act as PIC "pilot in command" of an aircraft with a max takeoff weight of 12,500 pounds or more. i.e. Boeing 737, 747, Airbus A320, A380 etc.

Mentour Pilot what is the difference between a captain and a co pilot and what is the captain allowed to do that the co pilot is not

Hi Mentour Pilot, What are the main differences between piloting airbus and Boeing planes?

@SUB-ZERO 01 The Captain is basically allowed to command the Co-Pilot to do certain things

SwagTurtle32 I can only speak for the A320. the main differences are the side stick vs.a yoke in the Boeing and the positioning of the thrust levers. we set for takeoff, flex, climb and a full reduction to idle about ten feet before landing. otherwise the throttles do not move when speed commands are entered to the MCP. the A320 is very comfortable, safe and a joy to fly. it is all weather capable. I have not flown the 737 so those questions must go to Mentour.

Mentour Pilot very good ! where we should go to get the app ?

Mentour Pilot it sounds great, so waiting for that Captain, have safe flights ! 😉✈

Hassan Attia the app is on the App Store of your device. Just search mentour pilot or mentour 360.

Rules of flying: Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. Always in that order. Main priority, if possible get/keep the plane at a safe altitude and course. Next is figure out where you want to go. If possible head there. Then let ATC know so they can help or at least keep everyone out of the way. Pilot flying is always in charge of flying. Pilot monitoring would be the one running through the (emergency) checklists and communicating with ATC. The only reason that should change is if the PM is unavailable for whatever reason.

Now I have a greater respect for birds.

Oliver Shutts can't stress it enough, get your grades as high as possible, strive for excellence and very best of luck to you💖

Thanks, I will definitely check out the app. I will be visiting Europe soon to catch me a Barcelona game, but I know that in London or somewhere in Europe you can actually fly in a flight simulator like one of these. Is this really true? If it is I would love to make this happen. Do you recommend a place? Thanks!

and? are you a commercial pilot already?

Uhm..no they dont

Mentour Pilot ok I will do what I can.

SimpleLifeReviewer Sebastien me too

Rather flying computer operator. There are no pilots i aviation industry today.

Not even on the smaller planes?

You never going to be a pilot only computer operator

smaller plane YES and gliders.

ah ok thanks, I`m 17 now so I don`t know which checklists I maybe will get in the future haha, but at least you learn the basic things, and as you said, some things aren`t even covered in the checklist because of the FCOM, or as you also said you learn the systems etc, so you know in which position the switches have to be in order to fly plane

Mentour Pilot What's the minimum height required to be a pilot ? How tall are you ?

There are no physical height requirements for civilian pilots.

Ristan Jones And to work for an airline ?

An airline pilot is a civilian....you just need a first class medical in the states.

No, it depends on if you’re a captain or first officer. FO on right, Captain on left.

sounds exciting :D :D cant wait

There's s video on that too. Use thrust reversers speed brakes flaps down first. And plan your landing speed & altitude prior to descent. There are rules and guidelines to help with glide path following and line up to the centerline of the runway.

***** thank you so much!

New 737 MAX aircraft will be delivered until the mid 2020s. Definitely won't be obsolete.

Fixed now! I never thought this would have an impact on it. Thanks for help. Practicing WS tomorrow and this comes in handy for us new TR guys

+Ola Rusten Yes, great observation. The PF is responsible blue for the switches on the overhead panel when the aircraft is standing still. After it starts moving, it’s the PM’s area of responsibility.

Commercial aircraft and most training aircraft today are equipped with flaps. Flaps are high lift devices that can be extended from the trailing edge of the wing. Large aircraft and some light aircraft also have high lift devices on the leading edge of the wing consisting of slots and slats. Extending slats on the leading edge of the wing and flaps on the trailing edge increases the camber, or curve of a wing. This increases the wing's coefficient of lift for a given angle of attack, and reduces the stall speed. In simplest terms, slats, slots, and flaps change the shape of the wings, allowing an aircraft to takeoff and land slower than it otherwise could.

If it is the braking would be better. Its harder to stop a big plane at higher speeds.The brakes get hotter when applied at higher speed a very dangerous condition. They can overheat the engine causing fire or not cool off for an hour interfering with your turnaround flight departure.

Joselyn Kelly no

Not without proper training. Would you try to drive a stick shift manual car having only driven an automatic tranny? They have a lot of differences that would cause problems if the pilot is not familiar with them.

Unlike the underwater environment of submarines the simple answer is the skies are a busy place with many different types of aircraft operating under different levels of regulation. Ultimately it remains every pilot's responsibility to see and avoid hitting anyone sharing the sky around them. FAR 91.113 Part (b) When weather conditions permit, regardless of whether an operation is conducted under instrument flight rules or visual flight rules, vigilance shall be maintained by each person operating an aircraft so as to see and avoid other aircraft.

mtnairpilot yes

Since many many years.

They added a lot of automation which made him the flight engineer obsolete. Pay 2 instead of 3.

It’s only mobile at the moment.
