flying cross atlantic is more than jus having and ifr plan if flying from North america you contact gander OCC telling them what NAT ur gonna use to cross the atlantic there are about 8 NATS for Civil Aviation that they can use some are in more northern then others ssome are lower but ussualy they pick the 1 in middle so u contact gander OCC tell em wat NAT UR USING u tell them at what time zulu ur gonna be at the 1sty waypoint and tehey tell u how fast what alt u gotta fly so no its not easy
@Vorox144 These days, your clearance is requested and then received via datalink from Gander (eastbound) or Shanwick (westbound). If your aircraft is CPDLC equipped, you get to kick back and have the automated position reporting completed via satellite. A much quieter crossing than just five-years ago. The video above is chatter on Santa Maria back in 2006. Those days of World War II era radio exchanges are drawing to a close. It's about time.
@ehnanimus It's SELCAL, is a selective-calling radio system that can alert an aircraft's crew that a ground radio station wishes to communicate with the aircraft. SELCAL operates on the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) radio frequency bands used for aircraft communications. Is used too on transatlantic flights when the normal communications can not be received by the aircraft, not always, but sometimes happens. ;)
@natebot321 In the middle position, which it is, is the "off" position. After raising the gear and gear is up and locked they switch the lever into that position.
@natebot321 The landing gear lever is in the neutral position in the video. You place it there after completion of the After Takeoff Checklist. If you're cruising with that lever up, it's a good indication that you forgot the After Takeoff Checklist.
I'm no expert, but I'm sure the military experience helped Sully land in the Hudson. I'm sure a lot of other pilots without military training could have done that, but I always like experience.
I last did this in a passenger plane in 1998 flying from Iceland to spain and it was no problem to let me into the cockpit. I just had to ask the flight attendand first.
If your trained through the military, your almost 100% garunteed the job. And as always the more school you've gone through the higher your chances are as well...
Yet another person who is under this illusion. Working/training in the military dosnt give you a job as a Airline pilot at the click of your fingers. Infact, if you work for the military/RAF as a fighter pilot for example, they mave give you a JOB transporting the army to and fro afgan etc.
The US airlines do value military pilots since in the military, you can't pay your way through any difficult portion of the training syllabus. I just flew an international flight with a former regional airline pilot & you wouldn't believe the scary stories he told me about the fools that they have hired. Flight Safety contract training has had a good reputation in the past, but recently, has had major deterioration in quality of candidates that they "pass." This is how we get COLGAN 3407s.
IS it true that some people who get their ATPL license never find an airline job due to far fewer jobs than apllicants. I've heard the proccess of becoming an astronaut for nasa is actually less hasle and alot cheaper
Fayik123, are you kidding?!? :P Theres a massive pilot drought in Australia and all over the world. Having said that it still isnt easy being/becoming a pilot. BTW: nice vid :p
If there was a pilot shortage then United Airlines wouldn't need to lay off 950 pilots. Fuel prices have quadrupled over the past couple of years and everyone is getting hammered.
If the US or Israel attacks Iran this year (Which they almost certainly will) and a massive regional war erupts in the Middle East, expect alot of airlines to go under.
well - im just in the progress to become a pilot and here it comes:
u study a lot (you should do it all in about 11 - 13 months), afterwards you get 1500 hours as co-pilot (takes u about 3 years) and then u r allowed to become a captain. average is about 5 years to become captain
if the air force scares you, grab a pillow and bite it, because they live WELL. i was in the marines and i lived. go to college and join the air force and tell them you want to fly. six years later (after flying insanely awesome jets) you will be behind the stick of a jumbo jet. if that's what you want to do.
LOL....But NOOOOOOOOOO I just wanted to be a cop and change the whole freaking world, "make a change" bull shit..not that im sick of being the comunities punching bag I finally realised that I probably should have concentrated on becoming a Airforce officer, no a police officer..I got my BA with 3.8 GPA and a few years of Cop experience, Now im just waiting for my medical to return and probably will be offered to go thru flight school...Dont even know you, just thought it might be funny to reply
It's not about "dangerous," but about what regulations allow. In the US, all that is required to transport for hire, is a commercial multi-engine instrument rating and for a captain (or relief F/O, an FAA Airline Transport Certificate ATP at 1,500 hours) and a 1st class medical. The airline sets the minimum standards above and beyond those requirements. Outside US, the pilot shortage is causing standards to be lowered. Pilots will be hired from the street and trained to be relief pilots!!
im in the same situation as you. What im going to do is get my PPL before I graduate High school, and then go to College, and major in Profesional Aviation, and then go to a flight school after that. IM not sure yet though, I want to find a cheaper option that is also not Air Force.
Sorry, dude. Just bunched some flying and was overseas for almost two weeks. Living life in the real world and got lost in the hundreds of emails received when off-line. Enjoy the sunshine. Now, what was your question??
too many ! you would be commited to the armed forces for atleast 6 or 8 years! i am 19 just out of high school and pursuing a career in aviation and i contemplated all options and i came up with the conclusion that joining the navy, airforce, etc is the toughest and longest of the options. Go through an aviation academy or flight school at your local airport, gain your ratings and attend university at the same time. Thats the journey im hopefully gonna take in the very near future.GOOD LUCK!
