Wen flyin tru clouds, expect turbulence cos dos clouds ar made up of unstable air mass. Dnt knw 'bout d routes.

Heavier aircrafts ride turbulence much more better dan less heavy aircrafts.

Ears pop, cos ur vestibular sys ( hope am correct, human performance exam, quite sometime nw ) is tryin 2 balance d pressure in d ear wit d ambint pressure.

Aircrafts slow dwn cos under carriages cause drag, n mind u dat flaps ar already deployed on approach.

Its normal 4 d sound, doze wheels weigh a lot. So no vex if dey show off by makin noise. Also dose wheels take alot of poundin on impact, so hydraulic cnt dampen al dat.

Engineers dnt do any chek afta landin unless d A, B, C or D chek is due. D pilot does his pre flight walk around n shikena, bak in2 d blue skies he flies. Engineers ar called in if an abnormally was noticed durin flight. Bak in Southafrica, d starboard flaps of d PE to Jozzy A320 was vibratin like hell. Was prayin till we touchd dwn, n sharpally straight 2 d co pilot 2 tell him b4 i high tailed it.

A chek is afta 800hrs, B chek 8months, C chek 21 months, D chek 5years.

Pay no concern u, mind ur bizness. Haba!!

Sleepin on duty? No way!!! Make AIB catch u!!

Yep, 2 some extent in aircrafts wit old avionics, though u shuld off ur cellphone. Pay attention 2 instruction lest i crash nairaland. Lol..

D aircraft is stalled a few feet above d ground, sails down like a baby kite. Touche! Want 2 learn dat? Join a flight skul. Lest i 4get, there's dis tin called groundeffect. No ask me wat oo, abeg i no get time 2 xplain.

I dnt knw about d light issue shaa. Am stil diggin my cessna.

Trapped humid naija air.

Risin hot air mass, i tink so.

Goggle aerodynamics n flight principles. Cnt rememba bein a lecturer. Sorry no vex, teachin is nt jst my tin. I envy teachers.

I dnt knw, here's nt d rite place 4 ur questions. Chek out NCAA website, n pprune threads on nigerian aviation. Wat we've got here ar mainly wanna be pilots, nt pilots.

Anyone dat've got an invitation? I applied last month, but no invitation yet.

4 all d busy bodies on nairaland, any experienced pilot is a hot cake. They dnt stay jobless 4 more dan 3weeks. Wat matters is seniority level, n hw much he's gonna b paid.

I dnt mind d looks ( ur inward defines ur outward )
Gimme genuises as kids
Career minded, though shuld b able 2 compromise as a mother ( quite hard i mst confess )
Someone dat i can trust her judgemnt wen nt around.
Respect my family ( she shuld undastnd dat '' family is supreme'' but nt 2 d xtreme, imagine ur siblins eyein ur wealth ).
Have a gud dress sense.
Humble, but nt 2 b taken 4 granted ( she shuld knw her worth, n always hold her cool ).
Average in d kitchen ( i like doin d cookin, so i dnt mind if she cnt cook ).
NEAT 2 A FAULT!!!!!! ( dats my main point, NO DIRT in our house ).
Refined ( will like someone 4rm at least a middle class family )
Average 2 very gud in bed ( ehhmm.... but am nt gonna ask 2much, cos i'll damn work my a**se off in my proffession, cos kids gotta study in harvard or oxford )
Am nt perfect, so i dnt look 4 perfection, she've got 2 4giv me, even wen i do d worst ( u knw, sometimes we commit sme acts jst 4 d sake of knwin hw it feels, nt dat we feel like doin it. Bein unfaithful is nt worth d mind stress of cookin up lies, cos am nt gud at lyin about affairs )

Try all those dealerships in lagos. They'll give a better info on where there clients rides are maintained.

All u pple screamin murder shuld b ASHAMED of urselvs. Y shuld he come 2 a country dat cnt get anytin rite? Mired deep in corruption!!! Come 2 southafrica n see d level of developmnt here!! Education is totally free, social service tight, power n 'wat av u' is hot. If u ar in southafrica, u'll neva b'liev 4 once u ar in AFRICA!!! Here is EUROPE in AFRICA!!!!

hw much?

I like gals dat dnt knw hw 2 cook. Weird eh? Lol..
Dats me. My current galfriend, a kenyan, she jokes nt wit me, cos if she starts her wahala, i knw hw 2 get bak 2 her, lol....
Call it sissy, i call it ''strenght of a man''.
Onila, no try learn ooo, cos d day my babe tried cookin, we 2 almst died 4rm food poisonin, hahahahah!!!

Major mustapha, u jst shwed urself as d fool, and illiterate hausa man dat u ar. Rule no 1, wen a dictator goes dwn, his loyalists goes wit him. Ur ascent 2 power blinded ur eyes 2 realities. Shame on u!!!!!
U kuld av bin d head of state nw, but rada u ar d prisoner. Sorry, cos u ar destind 2 die. Hw can u take advice 4rm pple dat there lives wil b in jeopardy wen u take over? Fool!!!
Imagine, takin advice 4rm IBB of al pple!!! Fool!!!!
U shuld used doz precious time 2 flee d country or consolidated urself in power. U kuld av accusd d rulin council of treason n jailed dem up. Contctd d british n secured ur power. U ar a BIG FOOL!!! U got wat u deservd!! slowpoke!!!

Finally am doin wat av always wantd 2 do; flying. 2 all enthusiastic pilots, dnt lose focus, cos startin ur training is nt d problem, but finishin wit d least amount of money spent.
Frankly, it've nt been rosy here in southafrica. Southafrican CAA av got d hardest of exams ( 8 ). Take my hint, start readin 4 ur groundskul b4 u start ur training, dat way, u'll spend less money n time. Remember '' small boys drive, BIG BOYS FLY '' lol... Dnt mind me jare, am naughty sometimes. Go 4 ur dream, no dullin. Tower, mike uniform juliet requestin fullstop landin.

I pray, GEJ be entrapped not by this cheap and cowardly ( though brave of him, cos no one wants to die ) display by BAKARE.
My fellow nigerians, its high time we decide the future of our own their country. A country that'll be led by visionaries and statesmen ( politicians and dictators ).
Am not trying to pass off to all you fine gentlemen and beautiful ladies, as a campaigner; lets vote PROF. PAT UTOMI, as president, come 2015 ( if it comes...). He's a visionary, a stateman, and an honourable gentleman.
Many a - doubting, criticizing minds will by now be demanding my head...., but let the truth be told.

They should desist from arresting BAKARE, jeez!! His arrest will ignite a freedom of speech abuse debate in both upper and lower chamber of the house, thereby reaching to the extent of an impeachment saga.
Jonathan, n PDP beware.
Am afraid that this current republic is going down like all other republics before it.
May God serve us!!!!!

reping Federal Government College, Nise all d way!!!

dis guy is a rogue. Doz bikes sell for 30,000rand maximum here in southafrica. Hold even 15,000 to 20,000rand u'll get it. Stp scammin pple.

Lillyeean: Well mine was as a result of not wanting to stay anoda yr @ home and so decided to study wat I was given... Bsc. Biochemistry, by the 2nd yr I decide I didnt want 2 study Medicine anymore( I dont regret dat decision) and so refused sit 4 anoda JAMB exam... Now I'm rounding up my servce yr and I'm sooooo clueless as 2 whr I'm headed..... I still think I shoulda studied Architecture... BIGGEST REGRET OF MY LIFE GOD HELP ME

sori...

Alwys wntd 2 fly. Tried NDA against my parents wish, passd d exams but disqualified durin medicals due 2 my eyes ( shortsighted ). My parents den thought dat dey'v won. Compelld me 2 take poly jamb since jamb forms av long bin sold out. I went 4 mech engin, since i've always likd 2 knw hw tins work n get greasy, unfortunatly d cyber attendant put me in 4 EE eng wen fillin up d form. I didnt bother though, cos i've stil got my eyes on flyin. Did mo OND in EE eng at IMT. Parents wish done. Nw my tin, currently trainin as a pilot in south africa, wat my heart reali yearns 4. No regret so far. Helleluyah!!!!!

bro, my 4st advice is 2 cut dwn on ur standard of living, possibly find somewhere cheaper cos d biggst xpense nw is ur rent n family upkeep. Par biz level, go dwn ur rank, dnt b shy, u'll see a small time money spinner on a daily earning. Start small, dnt start big.

Yep, N72 6k, am in lagos. Cal me 08067875684

Nt a bit, ataime. Get done wit ur nysc, flyin wil always b there, waitin.

Ataime, as a female, u've got a fabulous chance of bein a pilot. Aerocontractors ar currently runnin a marketin strategy by puttin women in d whole cabin as crews, 4rm capt 2 attendants. Try 2 get in 2 NCAT pilot trainin, they'll definitly sponsor u, i assure u 90%. D aviation sector nw prefers lady pilots 2 male pilots cos they ar hard 2 b poachd by foreign airlines. Gudluk, mayb if ivy4u sees dis post, she'll help u out.

Donsegmond, wen u ar nt fully grounded in aviation n also dumb n cnt take risks, jst shut d fvck up. Dnt come here n discourage pple dat wants 2 pursue deir dream, mind ur own life. Dat u failed dnt mean evryone got 2 fail. Truly, pilot trainin is xpensiv but its worth d pains if u've got d enthusiasm n spirit. Ask olamide, he's a livin testimony. Flyin is nt 4 chicken hearted, take d risk n join d pilots.

We blaks ar a cursed race, hw can africa b d root of life but thousands of yrs behind d west? Mugabe is a big pitg, a tyrant n a bitcvh, hw can i listen 2 d rantin of a self styld demi god. We blaks shuld brace ourselvs 4 anoda era of colonizatin cos its inevitable. Look at southafrica, wil they boast of such a vibrant economy witout d boers (wytes). Theres notin we can do about d west comin again, rada lets devlop ourselvs n take japan as a model but nt 2 d xtent of banishin d west. Al said n done, africa hav nt suffered enouf 2 b a mega continent, we ar stil hundreds of yrs behind.

@ cdoffx, am also an aspiring pilot. get ur ppl, den instrument ratin followed by cpl, possibly multi engine rating and if u've got d dough 2 spend, get a type ratin om 737 NG or CLASSIC
