If you want to go into aviation, do so cos you have a passion for it not because of the salary. Cos you would be very disappointed to learn that people that work in offices earn more than some pilots.
Naruto02 you are still in flight school and quoting salary for Emirates grin grin... have you ever heard of Emirates hiring a fresh off the boat pilot with less than 300hours?

I asked this question because my guys were arguing with me about the salary stuff. I think "naruto02" just answered me. thanks all the same

It's 3000 flight hours.. I know. But the bro really wanted to know how much. Maybe when you get to know how much a RANDOM pilot paycheck is you can empty ur account for the training.

I'm so in need of a flight simulator which I can use single engine like Cessna or sling 2 in. Three days ago I started circuits and it wasn't so good. I just came home and tried to remember the checks, if I had a simulator I would've practiced. I flew this morning it was very good actually but I need more practice (landing is still poor)

Yes that's true, but not anymore. Dr. Owolabi, an A.M.E and owner of MENDS hospital in Kaduna fought against it, and won. So, yes your friend could become a pilot with SS
godsmind7:
Hi everyone. Hello pilot is it true that persons with genotype Hb SS are not allowed to b pilots? I have a friend who's dream is to b a pilot but he is a sickler. Though he doesn't look like it. U won't know he is a sickler unless u are told.

As Sugah rightly pointed out, go into aviation because of passion and not money else it's only a matter of time before frustration sets in.

At a point in my career, I worked for free. As in, I wasn't paid because all I wanted was flying time. It was very unusual but it paid off for me in the long run.

WoW, I'm really really impressed, good job.
A few things to note:
1) Its Runway "Tree Six" not Thirty Six

2) You said your "airspeed is alive" while you were still on the ground.

3) Its "V1 Rotate"

4) You didn't do a Pre take off, After take off and landing checks

5)You didnt add me to the fsx whatsapp group 08075525540

Good job once again, I'm sure other guys can also make contributions.

Please note V1 is not your rotation speed, but your decision speed. VR is your rotation speed. You'll enjoy FSX when you start making instrument approaches, hold & let down, in clouds and fog.

Thanks for marking my scripts grin


Respect!


I believe I know some checks but did not add it in the video wink



It is always interesting to fly and replay what you have done to discover errors.



Is it permitted to call out V1 in a single engine like C152?

You'll need to ask a fixed wing guy that, don't know what the C152 is.
Lol @ marking.
As for the mistakes, we learn everyday!

Re: Ask A Pilot... by Eshiettk(m): 7:25am On Jul 27, 2016
First of, you need to understand what V1 is. V1 is a speed where you decide to go on, or abort a take-off with one engine inoperative, that said i'll say V1 is only applicable to multi-engine aeroplane. And besides,I've never seen V1 on any single engine POH/AFM or pre-take off checklist. I could be corrected though

They are both awesome aircraft manufacturers but Boeing is the best.

It's the 737 that's the most successful commercial aircraft ever.

As for aircraft pilots decide to fly, its dependent on a variety of factors some within their control others are not.
