You know you are a real aviation geek :

when you can tell the make of an aircraft by just hearing the sound of the engines.

Feel free to add more.

Olisa4all:


I remember the year when I could tell the sound of the BAC 1-11...... It got banned after a crash tho

Open question:
Should the airlines in Nigeria merge in order to become financially stronger airlines?

CaptainRahl:
it might interest you to know that state governments used to send students abroad for pilot training on scholarship.

okikiosibodu:


Please do you know of any ongoing one for the south-western Nigeria especially Ogun state?

Olisa4all:


Have you checked your state's scholarship board?

AERO IS GONE,.....WHO NEXT?

CaptainRahl:
Cally air will be in full operation by November.

naruto02:

Is that a new airline. Never heard of it.

okikiosibodu:

That's so true sir. I once cam across an article about a state in the north that sent more than 100 people abroad for training, an many opted out voluntarily. They gave flimsy excuse about loosing interest in the programme. I go so vex within myself_ was there no form of assessment for the benefactors before sending them off? I wish I had JUST one slot....one slot is all that is required.

CaptainRahl:
Affirmative!
Cally air is owned by the Cross-river state government. Their technical partner is Dana air

Identify both planes

KLM airlines

CFCman:
Left plane is a 777; right plane is 737

The triple 7 is one mammoth beast sha.
This picture really puts it in proper perspective.

They do say "Plane crashed" due to an engine failure. Now using boeing 777 which has 2 engines to attached to the wings as an example, when plane is in motion, does the two engines work at the same time OR one will be in standby mode while one is working?

Secondly, IF two engines are working at the same time, does it make any sense saying plane crashed when two engines are working or are they saying the two engines stopped working at the same time?

Lastly, If it is only one engine working while one is in standby mode, if they notice an sign of engine failure, how many seconds will it take the second engine to start working when there is a fault detected on the first engine while in air.

Also is aviation fuel flammable?


Are there bulletproof planes

I see some planes' wings that at the end of the wings, they are bended vertically upward, does it really matter or it is just a form of "packaging"

Also, are private jets expensive than commercial jets


Pls, dont tell me to ask google ooo.. lol

2. When an engine shuts down, a jet may still have sufficient power in remaining engine(s) to land safely, however, there are cases where both engines shuts down/gets a fault (eg multiple catastrophic bird strikes to both engines). A lot comes into play when a crash happens.

3. While mid air, both engines works. However, when one shuts down, the crew members (pilot and co) get a notification on the onboard flight systems, and they immediately try to restart that shut down engine..

4. Aviation fuel like every other fuels are flammable.

It (Ogun state) appeared on most social media as one of the top 5 states that grant scholarship to her indigenes. Upon investigations, I learnt the don't grant individual indigenes scholarship worth more then N5million. But. Even at that, it still boils down to "leg", which I don't have. It was so painful

Olisa4all:


Brother,start looking for the leg o, its never too late

okikiosibodu:

@2- I once read on an article that a airplane can successfully land with one engin if the other engines get shut off (one engine can generate enough thrust for safe landing), but it experience comes into play. Another article I read said an airplane with failed engines (all engines shut down), can still sustain gliding in the air for about 1000km (not sure of the figure though, if it is 100 or 1000) with the initially generated thrust, before it drops from the sky (stalling). Now the question is, is that true?
@ 3- I have been curious about something since I was a kid: all the engines in n airplane shuts down, can one get the engines back online and the airplane "picking up" without any form of taxi-ing? (I hope you understand the question)
And finally @ 4- I guess the question the other person was trying to ask if it is highly flammable like gasoline, or a little stubborn like diesel (some of us are curious. We know fuel must burn before an engine can get enough energy to power the propellers that generate thrust).
Now my own question :
A-is it through the name of commercial airplane's fuel is "kerosene"?
B- are they commercial airplane that run on diesel like some training airplane like DA 40 and DA-42 (NB- DA= Diamond Aircraft) ?
C- what is/ are the name of the impurities added to the fuel of aircrafts that prevent them from freezing in the air when temperature drops?
Sorry for the lenghty post

Hope you know I'm not in the aviation industry, heck! I'm not even an Engineer. I just love airplanes as I love cars.
