  • and what is that loud squeaking right before he lands ?

  • @laxinitup62

    The stall warning horn, buzzes when your Indicated Airspeed (IAS) is a few knots about the stall. When you're flaring only a few feet off the ground to land the aircraft that's quite allright (Some would even say expected), any other time, it isn't good.

  • Investigate 9/11-

    The alleged hijackers couldn't even fly a Cessna according to their flight instructor.. yet somehow manage to hit 75% of their targets dead on in a cockpit they've never been in before?

    No way.

    Lol. Just lol.

    No we don't actually. The reason we have them on is laziness I suppose...While on the tarmac/apron at Moorabbin Airport we are required to wear them (Day and Night). The only reason we have them on often is because most of us can't be bothered taking them off while in the plane.

  • @laxinitup62 when it starts warming up, thermals catch the wings and move them a bit. New pilots try to correct with abrupt movements.

  • @flyboy172r How do you get this? I am currently working in mining to pay for my CPL ME/CIR its going to take a while to get the cash. Can I do this at any school? WHat are the rates on it?

  • @NTBushPilot

    I'm on a 'they pay me now, I repay later - as I go' type contract.

  • @flyboy172r How is the government paying this?

  • @flyboy172r thank you !

  • i am planning on becoming a pilot and i am wondering, why is the pilot waving the control around so rapidly ? is he having trouble controling it or what ? serious question
