Originalsly: For my kind of flights, we have extra pilots, where that is not the case, there are protocols to ensure the aircraft lands safely. 4 Likes |

Boeing777pilot: Just wondering! Boeing 777 is a huge plane mehn. Just a quick one; Air bus and Boeing which is better in the air? In a flight sim FXS I noticed that Boeing (737-800) have simpler controls compared to Airbus A320 Can you tell us what you think about the two aircrafts 3 Likes |

Moving on!.... I learned from a pilot that the bigger planes have a very robust power supply system.... and the battery backup system is no joke.If true... how possible is it to harness the electrical power from retired non airworthy planes to provide electricity for communities? ...just a thought! 2 Likes |

ademolamiowon: UK falls under EASA(European Aviation Safety Agency) , so you'll need to do 14 EASA ground courses(it's not beans, stress level is high cos if u fail 1 subject 3 times, you'll need to write the entire 14 all over again) switching from a South African license, I guess u might not need to do all 14 but check to be very sure, as for USA you'll need to check that too 2 Likes |

Morning capt. Boeing777pilot... Quick pondering question.. What's the minimum thrust applied when landing or before touch down, I use 170..though it may depend on the weight.. Secondly... Do NAV need radio coordinate to work properly? Noticed I kinda veered off course last time I tried landing with NAV only but GPS approach seems to work perfectly. |

Boeing777pilot, I hear the diameter of the Boeing 777-300 engine is close to the diameter of the fuselage of the Boeing 737. How true is it? 1 Like |

Originalsly: Landing is more challenging. . Bole international airport, the airport is on a very high altitude, so you require more fuel to take off that's from my experience most of the other airports we fly into are pretty straight forward. 3 Likes |

ademolamiowon: Different countries have different laws and different processes for license conversion. For example, to CONVERT your license from FAA to NCAA, You'll need to do a medical and Nigerian Airlaw exam. So just check 2 Likes |

For example, to CONVERT your license from FAA to NCAA, You'll need to do a medical and Nigerian Airlaw exam. I believe the FAA will convert your Nigerian CPL to FAA PPL, you'll need to do FAA IR & CPL to convert, I stand to be corrected tho 1 Like |

I was doing 80 VFR, A2A Accusim Cherokee180 today from DNMM to DNIB (FSX) in a nasty weather I created. After climbing above 7,000ft and the weather became clear with sun ahead my little boy asked me this funny question; don't you have an aircraft fm like car stereo where you listen to music and all that stuff? I said well, the only radio you can listen to out there is the one you hear all the annoying noise from ATC but I am going to ask someone who knows better. So oga Boeing 777, do you have a gadget in your B777 where you listen to music when flying ? I know it is not in any of the trainer aircraft I know. 1 Like |

jude33084: Bose A20 Aviation headset has a 3.5mm jack and Bluetooth, so u can plug it to ur phone and listen to music, it automatically mutes when tower/approach etc starts yapping. It's cost about $1000 I leave the rest to Boeing 777 1 Like

Boeing777pilot:Hmmm.... not moving on! ...it never dawned on me until now that high altitude/thin air can affect flying! So is Bole different in that take off is more difficult than landing? Bole....taking off... I guess wind direction/speed...weight of cargo etc are all factored in deciding your lift off speed. Is altitude/air density a factor?....or you as a pilot just know you have to burn more fuel to lift off? |
