Health / Re: Bathing Makes Your Body Clean, How Come The Towel Gets Dirty??? by xager(m): 10:41pm On Jul 12, 2016
The air we breathe is a composition and has a considerable amount of dirt and dust particles. No matter how well you clean yourself, as long as the air isn't sterilized (if that's possible), the dust particles will always perch on your skin hence making it dirty again.

IS THAT GUDT OR BADT? OK PLS CLARIFY THIS LR AND ER.....ONE IS LONG RANGE RIGHT?
LR is Long range, ER is extended range. I think the long range can travel a farther distance than the ER.

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.
You're right. I mistook the life jacket for the parachute.

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

During our time in the simulators, we practice alot of emergency scenarios that's is exactly like a real life situation. This prepares us for any eventuality.

If the landing gears don't deploy, we information ATC about what's up, we circle round the airport so dump fuel to reduce possibility of fires, brief the pax about the situation and get them into brace position, line up with runway and do belly landing and deploy the spoilers once we hit the runway.

Hopefully yes.
Isn't it better to land on the grass rather than the runway in such a scenario?

Why are parachutes hardly deployed in emergency situations like engine failure et all?

There are other aircraft in the area, so traffic controllers ensure that every one stays in their lanes putting it in simple terms.

ILS essentially helps us land in bad weather among other uses

Instrument Rating (IR) is more useful in a situation where there is low or no visibility
Thanks. What's the likelihood of young pilots (say early twenties) getting employed? Are there age restrictions or preferences for certain ages?

Boeing777pilot:


It's all done during the flight planning stages which is inputted into the flight management system, then the traffic controllers guide us during approach based on what we have filed. They can change it depending on prevailing circumstances.

Horns ke? Like the ones that blows "peem peem"?
Yes, kind of.
Ok. But if the traffic controllers guide you, what then is the role of the instrument landing system in the aircraft?

Airports are rated based on different categories of ICAO.

Bravo, Charlie etc are identifiers we use to clearly communicate some technical terms to avoid misinformation.
Thank you.
During final approach, how do pilots calculate their rate of descent with respect to their speed, altitude and distance from the aiming point on the runway without going so low or too high?

Secondly, do aircrafts have horns? grin

How are airports rated? Is it primarily by the length of their runways?
And what does it mean for an airport to be tagged bravo, Charlie, delta or echo?
Religion / Re: If God Created Only Adam And Eve,how Did Others Come About by xager(m): 3:30pm On May 08, 2016
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he THEM.

Meanwhile, in chapter 2, he created Eve.

Gen 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

God bless you for creating this thread sir. I've longed for something like this for quite a while. However I have a question. What if one fails the exams? Are there opportunities to rewrite or your money is gone? I'm also very much interested in the ebook. Thanks
