Co-pilot gets sick, stewardess helps land airplane

As I've said, I discuss aviation in all sorts of venues, not just on USENET. So pray tell, share with us your so called sources since you are not a pilot, not a CGI and pretend to be something you are not? Or are they also simulated discussions with sources like MSFS? |

Indeed, it might well be the other way around: CPL, then jets. Playing a computer game doesn't make you an expert. -- JohnT |

Now here is a question that really displays my ignorance: what certificates do military pilots hold? Are those certificates issued by the FAA? |

wrote: Hatunen writes: While a heavy jet is a big sucker with a very complex panel (although lighter aircraft are now sporting some pretty compicated-looking electronci panels now) the principals are basic for any one who has flown a plane for even a short time: keep it level except coordinated turns. To land glide down to near stall speed, flare at the runway apron and make it stall just as the wheels tough the runway. In an emergency, a person who isn't a pilot certified for the aircraft in question needs to use the automation, not take the controls manually. The latter can easily lead to disaster. I so note further down. The problem is that you need actual practice in an airplane in order to become good at handling the controls, or you need to find an expensive, full-motion simulator for the same purpose. Having experience in a vastly different airplane won't help you much. Well, duh. It depends on what you're trying to do.

That you an't afford the jet software for the sim? and one need not do so for a CPL. Indeed, it might well be the other way around: CPL, then jets. I'm not sure. I've forgotten. Is a commercial rating required before you can qualify for an ATR? By the way, you don't need an ATR to fly a jet. I wonder if John Travolta has an ATR...? -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
