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?

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.

Olisa4all:


Helicopter Pilot Sir, ask away, that's why we're here since the mods don't wanna create an Aviation Section

Boeing777pilot:


Sadly no.

It's against company policy to do so in the cockpit.

If I'm in the crew rest area I can.

And what was your little boy doing in the cockpit at that time? Have you not heard of sterile cockpit? >:

CFCman:
I know you prefer to fly a two-engine aircraft - the B777 - but would you fancy flying a 4-engine aircraft like the B747-8 or the A380?

Moukafoam:
Where can I fit in please



I don't even know what to ask

Olisa4all:

Boeing777pilot:

Hmmmm, this na jamb question oh.
If I have the opportunity, it would be the A380 it's an engineering marvel just that it's future get as e be because of newer long range twin engine aircraft from boeing and Airbus are racking up more orders than the A380.

ademolamiowon:

Oh great.... where did you train sir? How was your first flying experience?

Olisa4all:


Bristow Academy, Titusville FL.
That feeling when you pick up to a hover, you'll realize you never wanna do anything else!

CFCman:

I'm not too surprised by that because servicing an A380 entails spending millions of $ in airport upgrades just to accommodate the aircraft. Especially for many African countries, it's not worth it.

Boeing777pilot:


Welcome to the party.
Any questions you may have about all things aviation.

Boeing777pilot:


Very true especially when other new aircraft don't require any significant airport upgrades. The A380 project may not last long.

Doing great!...so....moving on! Just before touch down.... the big planes seem to be going at a speed of just above 0 mph/kph....

Boeing777pilot:


Hmmmmmm
You dey sub fixed wing abi
Watching you in 3D

Did about 20hrs of fixed wing training, so I have an idea, lol

DisGuy:


The mods dont/cant create a new section, the Admin/owner can...

plus there's a career section,

_{I had a feeling from the start there would be more questions on how to become a pilot/getting scholarship than any in-depth discussions about aviation}

Just before touch down.... the big planes seem to be going at a speed of just above 0 mph/kph.... soooo slowww that one would wonder if you pilot guys are in the cockpit...or in the lounge chilling with the babes hostesses! But the moment the plane hits the runway....wow... then one can realize how fast the plane was really travelling. Now for your 777 about what is the slowest safe speed before touchdown?..... and on touching down..... why all that big engone sound comes after if the plane was not travelling faster than the speed of sound?

Moukafoam:


Not a good news for Airbus then

Skmoda360:
Good day captain, i have gone through the administrative line of aviation sector though i got a diploma and also a fresh graduate of B.sc Geology but i'll love to be a pilot. What are the procedure that i need to go through before i get license to start my training in any aviation school abroad especially US and how can i get a scholarship?
Note: i have passion for this since when i was a kid.

Boeing777pilot:

.
For my baby, minimum approach speeds could be around 140 knots, anything lower could mean danger, remember Asiana 777 crash in San Francisco, the pilot came in slow the rest is history.

Touch down around 135knots, the noise is because of what the engine is doing so you can land safely

And we don't chill with hostesses on board, take off and landing are very crucial.

DisGuy:
it would be mentioned once again to Seun/Admin

cheers
