Haha - brotheblonde in the cockpit, is that safe - do you sometimes forget and drive it like the klx250 ;)

Ha ha .. I wish I COULD fly it like the trailbike! I don't think the passengers would like it either.

I presume the levers infront of the throttles that you skipped are the thrust reversers? ;)

Something I've always wondered, at what altitude do you punch the baro knob back to 2992?

Posted Jan 11, 09 by brotherblonde
Yep.

Depends on the country. In Australia, 10,000' on climb...11,000' on descent. In USA 18,000'. UK, around 5,000. New Zealand, 11,000'/ 15,000'.

Thanks. Now that you've pointed out that each dial has a back up, I'm only half as confused :-/

How many times have I heard this over the tannoy... "we are currently cruising at an altitude of 37,000ft"
This scares me. I'm worried that one of these more...

I'm worried too!!!!
Fortunately we now have a system that warns us of impending doom. I think that's to give us enough time to "assume the position"!! :-)

That was great, where did you get your training? military or civilian? i've been putting some thought to becoming a pilot but i cant afford the civilian training and i cant get a flight guarantee in the military yet. Any tips would be great!

Posted Dec 15, 08 by brotherblonde
Civilian.
I paid for lessons, became an instructor, worked at that for a few years, then got the "big break".
It's a hard one..I thought about military but, as you said, no guarantees. My dad went guarantor for me for the loan for the lessons...back more...

Oh, 429 knots = 795 kph (well 794.5, but I've been taught to round to the appropriate significant digit).

494 MPH.

I suppose with auto take off and auto landing, they won't need pilots anymore.

Do you ever feel tempted to tell the passengers that there more...

Posted Dec 14, 08 by brotherblonde
Yeah, what's 1//2 a K P Hr amongst friends?

The next generation af aircraft are to have a pilot and a dog....The pilot to feed the dog, the dog to bite the pilot if he touches anything! :-)

Yes!! :-) and yes :-(

You missed the switch that inflates the auto pilot :)

Posted Dec 12, 08 by brotherblonde
we only use that switch in private!! :-)

Anyone can get an aeroplane to land. The trick is keeping it in a condition good enough to takeoff again. :-)

Posted Dec 11, 08 by Fudmottin
Wow. I recognized most of those instruments from my Cessna 172 days. I'm fairly confident that I could fly that plane after a day of instruction. Meaning take off, flight, and landing. Unless your first officer had his hand on the yoke, I could see more...

Posted Dec 11, 08 by brotherblonde
With more training maybe I could land it too. :-)

Autopliot is on soon after takeoff until some time before landing.

Yes they can and do Auto land.

yrs ago...when they let you in the cockpit...capt was having a nap..and the first officer was smoking with his feet up...its ok ...its on auto-pilot was told......lol

Posted Dec 11, 08 by brotherblonde
Ahh yes the Good Old Days....except for the smoking. :-)
