Boeing777pilot:


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.

kingreign:

The Boeing 777 has a perfectly circular fuselage when cut into two Ron top to bottom and viewed thru, its got the biggest engine diameter ( two engines in total) of any modern boeing (that i know of) and its got 6 tyres per main landing gear and 12 tyres at the rear/main landing gears and a total of 14 tyres for all landing gears.

Compare the engine size with the man leaning on it

Thanks alot sir.. I see both 747 and 777 are huge. so which one is more better in terms of commercial flight for long hours journey like lagos to housto/JFK or dubai to Australia

what is the maximum amount of hours a commercial plane can stay up in the sky in terms of safety

More questions to come, I wan be like one guy wey dey always ask different kind of questions on ds thread

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)

Neyoalao:
How do pilots while away their time on board a very long flight because i guess you can fly a plane for 10 hours + without getting tired or bored.

I believe this has been answered

Good afternoon everyone. Looking for an aviation school to learn to become a Pilot ,Aeronautical engineer? Check out KEILIR AVIATION ACADEMY , located in ICELAND. I'm a Nigerian and I'll be travelling this August to study. It's really an amazing school. Course duration (2years)

Boeing777pilot:
LR - Long Range
ER - Extended Range

LR has longer range, that's why I'm going to miss it.

It means shorter flights for me now.

The B777-200LR actually holds the world record for longest non stop flight. It can stay up to 19hours airborne.

B777-300ER around 12 hours

cutelover19:

Le boss,
I believe the 777-300ER can do more than 12 hours. Last year, I was on a flight from Orlando to Dubai on Emirates 777-300ER and the flight lasted for 15 hours and 40 minutes. double check though

I nailed my landing yesterday it felt good... I went ahead to land without flaps..

jude33084:



[size=15pt]15 hours in a flight?! Jesus! [/size]

cutelover19:

yes sir, even in 2014 i flew dubai to new-york on the airbus a380-800, it was approximately 16 hours long.

@boeing777pilot, why is it that abuja - dubai is 6 hours long, but dubai - abuja is 7 hours?
secondly, is the earth's rotation factored into flight plans?

jude33084:




Without flap? What aircraft is that?


I know you can land with just flap 1 or 2 in a C172 or C152 but not without one bro


Did your instructor advice you to do that? Is it allowed?

Lol. For you as a pilot, the ans is in d question

because i guess you can fly a plane for 10 hours + without getting tired or bored., bt we enthusiasts can't comprehend.
I have been curious about this for long and will love to know. I have not flown on a "bird" before so please try to help out with how you answer the question.
Also, I want to believe that the cockpit can be secured from inside to prevent terrorism / hijacking...how do you confirmed the identity of the airhostess before opening up? Are there cameras in the cockpit to see who is knocking from outside cockpit? Are pilots allow to eat and chat when the airplane is cruising safely at a steady altitude during the 10hr trip?
Most of the questions are for fixed wings

CFCman:


I believe it is due to the rotation of the Earth from west to east. Planes flying in that direction experience less headwinds because they are "flying with" the Earth.
The planes flying in an east - west direction experience greater headwinds, that's why the east - west routes are usually longer than the west - east route.

In other news, I would be back in the skies next week. Done with my conversion from the B777-200LR to the B777-300ER
