: Eeyore writes: How do you think you get the hours to progress to CPL ? You have to have a CPL before ATPL etc.... How about the night, multi-engine and instrument ratings ? So there's a regulatory barrier? Perhaps. But in practical terms you can still start and finish on a 747, if money is not a concern. Or better still, you can learn on a simulator. Those basic skills are what saves aircraft when things go wrong. Not when they don't match the aircraft being flown. Having flown a Piper Cub won't help you much when you're flying an Airbus. Yes, it will, fjukktard. I know, I've flown both. Bertie |

You're a complete idiotoooooo Bertie |

: Eeyore writes: Because they're more demanding. And I don't just mean they have 2 power levers. I'm sure you don't just mean two power levers, because that's not very demanding at all. Have you ever heard of the phrase 'trying to learn to run before you can walk' ? Yes, but it doesn't apply here. Multiengine aircraft just aren't that complicated. I don't know how this folk mythology developed, but it seems to be part of a lot of unconditionally accepted "wisdom" that afflicts aviation. I see it constantly asserted with religious fervor, but I don't see it proved, and that's a bad sign. Does it occur to anyone that the way pilots usually learn to fly today may not be the _only_ way? Same goes for night flying and instrument flying. See above. I don't see why you can't learn instrument flight, multiengine, complex, or whatever, all at the same time. Of course you can't, fjukkwit. You can't learn anything... Berti e |

: Nomen Nescio writes: The more important question is...... Why do YOU maintain that it's not difficult? Because I know the procedures, and they are not difficult to follow. You press buttons and turn knobs. Bwawhahwhhahwhahwhahhwhahw! Know how to drag a bug or calcualte gates using predicted winds, the weight of the airplane and a projected LD based on both? Didn't think so. Poof, you just ran out of diesel, fjukkwit. bertie |

: Brian writes: Since you know it is so easy here are a couple things you should be able to answer 1. What is the difference between a CAT II approach and a CAT III? Just minimums and stuff; the differences are regulatory. no they aren', fjukkkwit. You get yet another thing wrong! It must be inordinately taxing to be such a boob. You can use just about any ILS for either category, No, you can't. They aren't ILS based systems, fjukktard. but technically your supposed to have the approach certified for a maximum category. In the context I was discussing, though, a non-pilot takes control in an emergency. In an emergency, you can configure autoland for any ILS approach, whether it is certified as IIIc or not (I'm not aware of any differences in the actual ILS hardware from one category to another) I know you're not. And you don't care that you're wrong. It's waht makes you so special. Fjukkwit. bertie |

: Bertie the Bunyip writes: You couldn't do it, but that, of course, doesn't mean it's complicated. Bottom line, a crewless airplane with you as their only hope is going to end up a smoking hole in the ground... I notice that you still haven't explained the complicated parts. You gonna pay me to do so? I get about 400 bucks an hour for that. Bertie |
