1.No idea, never worked in Nigeria but some airlines have better pay conditions than others.

2. PPL /CPL South Africa, type rating USA

3. Just keep your ears to the ground and network with aviation professionals in the industry, it's usually faster if you are already type rated because the airline doesn't need to spend resources training you .
I was privately sponsored.

4. Yes, I do, kind of. I operate intercontinental flights and usually work for around 20days / month, the remaining time is split between stand by and off duty.

xager:

I believe every passenger has one underneath their seat. And it's the job of the hosts/hostesses to put them through.

gebhota:

gebhota:

Cutehector:

Let me invite you to FSX so that flying won't be a mystery anymore

Olisa4all:


All lives are valuable be it one or one hundred, that shouldn't be a factor in deciding whether or not you wanna do rotary or fixed wing

Originalsly:
@Op.....when on an intercontinental flight and bad weather pops up along the way causing you guys to divert..... how do you still manage to reach your destination on time?....do you speed up to make up the time?....or take a shorter flight path?...if shorter path why not use that in the first place?....and don't for a moment think I'm running out of questions!

wine4dguy:

Which SA flight school can you recommend for PPL in terms of affordability and credibility

Originalsly:
Parachute under the seat? Really? ... I thought was life jacket. Parachute under the seat... the first jolt from turbulence. .. ones would be grabbing that parachute...opening the exit and bailing out.

Boeing777pilot:
..
AUAA

Cutehector:
ok, how do I go about it

jude33084:

1. Where do you live? ( I am in Lagos)

2. How good is your system (preocessor and ram)

3 Laptop or Desktop?

Cutehector:
urm, presently i'm in ph, i do stay in lag too


Atom processor... Ram is 1gb.. I got an ipad tho


Laptop

igwemoagbo:
that's not spec enough. You need to build a desktop to enjoy fsx. Or a laptop with i5 or i7 core 6-8gig ram 2.6ghz. Processor

Boeing777pilot:


Probably in eastern Europe...

Cutehector:
6gb ram? Mehn dats huge.. i'm pretty sure second hand of the laptop will cost around 70k or higher

jude33084:


Fsx, Prepar3d or Xplane10 are all flight simulators and NOT a gam. Also, they don't joke with processors lol

My system is a desktop, quadcore, 8gig ram yet it slows it down.

Aviation sch is too expensive for me hence I took to virtual flying

With 60k you will get a desktop with i5 processor in computer village Lagos.

I want you to really try the sims

Cutehector:
naaah i dnt need a desktop... Smth i can move with.. Lol 8gig yet it slows it down, woow.... Yh i can get an i5 there, i hav a trustworthy guy...

jude33084:


Ok, i5 lappy will do but will be more expensive sha.

I have a Macbook pro and a compaq lappy but after going into the flight sims I discovered that it is not meant for lappy


You can install it, run it but when it comes to installing addons; air crafts, scenery, weather etc your system may burn up

Contact Igwe- for FSX files

Cutehector:
urm I think I will be needing to get that desktop.


Ok urm, first off, I wana buy ur laptop, deal?

Olisa4all:


Get a gaming laptop, they have high end graphics card coupled with the high specs which would make your flight sim run effortlessly albeit they're expensive..

Originalsly:
When landing especially at nights when it is raining.... can barely see past your nose... how do you see what you're doing?.... do the blue runway lights remain visible despite the low visibility?
