Aerial Photographer....question about air flight ages?
There are several.. Check out Emery Riddle Universityhttp://www.erau.edu/
Why do aircraft cockpits always have to be at the top?
Have you thought about applying to the military as a pilot? Get your ticket and hours then after you serve you initial term go civilian.
Why did they changed the separate 4 throttle control on the 747 to the 2 throttle control system?
This depends on where you live. Here in the Northwest, helicopters are used for firefighting, crop spraying, tourism (scenic tours), logging, transportation (charter), reporting as well as many others. I hope one of these helps you out.Good luck
Where can I find information about the history of TCAS?
It took me 5 years and over $70k to get to where I thought maybe someday I could actually make a living flying helicopters.
what is the power source of an aeroplane?
Most any degree will work. The helicopter industry doesn't care if you're educated or not. In fact, the industry likes us to be stupid and pliable. Otherwise, we might realize how abused we are, and insist on a living wage.
what is a good aviation headset?
Try "Silver State Helicopters"Both answer seem right . Best possible answer?
An excellent post! I was in your shoes over 25 yrs ago.I joined the military and they paid for my education. They even taught me to fly. The best part was it was free.
During my career I have had the chance to fly some really cool a/c including the F-18, A-26(civilian conversion), C-130, and now helicopters.
You can usually choose to go directly into Helicopters in most militaries.
Good luck.
How much capital investment is needed to start an airline business?
i have no ideaIs a CDI (course deviation indicator) and an ADF (automatic direction finder) the same thing?
Dear Sir,Obviously, through no fault of your own, your young, impressionable brain has been poisoned by the superfluous, hyped-up, "Big Money" media portrayal of Chopper pilots. Unfortunately, this portrayal could not be further from the truth. In my experience, I've found most Helo pilots pompous, back-stabbing, momma's boys with inferiority complexes, as well as being extremely over-rated aeronautically. However, rather than dash your budding dreams of becoming a pilot, I offer the following alternative.
What you REALLY want to aspire to is the exciting, challenging, and rewarding world of TACTICAL AIRLIFT.
Can someone easily explain how aircraft oxygen systems work?
And this, sir, means one thing - the venerable, workhorse C-130! I can guarantee no Rotor pilot can brag that he has led a 12-ship formation down a valley at 300 ft above the ground, while trying to interpret a 9-line to a new DZ, avoiding pop-up threats, and coordinating with AWACS, all while eating a box lunch, with the engineer in the back taking a piss and the navigator puking in his trash can!
How much does it cost to get your pilot's licence??
I tell you, TAC Airlift is where it's at. Where else is it legal to throw tanks, HMMWVs, and other crap out the back of an airplane, and not even worry about it when the chute doesn't open and it torpedos the General's staff car! No where else can you land on a 3,000' dirt strip, kick a bunch of ammo and stuff off the ramp without even stopping, then take off again before range control can call to tell you you've landed on the wrong LZ!
And talk about exotic travel-when C-130s go somewhere, they GO somewhere (usually for 3 months, unfortunately). This gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture enough to give any local population a bad taste in their mouths, not something those strat-lift pilots can do from their airport hotel rooms!
Does anyone have a slight idea of how much a HELICOPTER is?
As far as recommendations for your course of study, I offer these. Take a lot of math courses. You will need all the advanced math skills you can muster to facilitate the calculation of per diem rates around the world, and when trying to split up the crew's bar tab so that the co-pilot really believes he owes 85% of the whole thing.
Health sciences are important, too. You will need a thorough knowledge of biology to make those educated guesses of how much longer you can drink beer before the tremendous case of the shits catches up to you from that meal you ate at that place that had the belly dancers in some God-forsaken foreign country whose name you can't even pronounce!
How long does it take for a sonic boom to dissipate?
Social studies are also beneficial. It is important for a good TAC Airlifter to have the cultural knowledge to be able to ascertain the exact location of the nearest titty bar in any country in the world, then be able to convince the local authorities to release the loadmaster after he offends every sensibility of the local religion and culture.
Where can you find the ILS localizer in a B747-400, B777-300 and B737-400/200??
A foreign language is helpful, but not required. You will never be able to pronounce the names of the NAVAIDs in France, and it's much easier to ignore them and go where you want to anyway.
A study of geography is also paramount. You will need to know the basic location of all the places you've been when you get back from your TDY and are ready to stick those little pins in that huge world map you've got taped to you living room wall, right next to that gigantic wooden giraffe statue and beer stein collection.
What makeup items can be brought on a plane (US)?
Well, I hope this little note inspires you. All TAC Airlifters know that there are waaay too few women and too little alcohol there to provide a well-balanced education.
Good luck and see you on the SKE scope!
