Alarms!
A= Airspeed. Reduce to best glide speed for your aircraft
L= Landing Location. Look for closest alternative landing site.
A= Air Restart. Check for fuel tank selector valve error, attempt restart
R= Radios (121.5, ATC and 7700 Squawk Code
M= Mayday Give altitude and location
S= Secure aircraft for landing

What is the difference between aircraft flight hours and flight cycles?
Flying hours are the number of hours that an aircraft has flown (usually from engine start to engine stop). One flight cycle is one flight from take-off to landing.
What are the aircraft checklist procedures?
These very much vary by aircraft type. As any vehicle becomes more complicated, procedures are developed to assure that all items are correctly positioned or selected for the next flight activity. Hence you have the "before starting engine checklist", one for starting engine(s), and so forth. There are checklists for emergency situations, like fire in flight, or engine failure.

What is the safest general aviation aircraft?
For Western Aircraft, their PC-12 model is the safest general aviation aircraft, one of the reasons is 8,000,000 flight hours with no fatalities due to engine failure.According to AirSafe statistics the 5 safest comercial airplanes (with minimun number of accidetns) are:Airbus A330Airbus A340Boeing 777Boeing 717Boeing 737 (600-900 series)
What is the purpose of a turbojet aircraft engine?
The main purpose of the turbojet aircraft engine is to provide enough power to operate larger planes. These turbojets make lengthier flight travel possible.
What is the probability engine failure in twin engine aircraft?
This question has way way to many undefined variables to have a specific answer.But the way to think of this: If we accept that Piston Aircraft Engines have a in flight failure every 10,000 hours on average ( this is a made up approximate number)Also we accept that having two engines doubles the risk of an engine failure to once every 5000 hrs.We further have too do some math and come up with the possibility of both engines failing during the same emergency from a cause other than fuel exhaustion is somewhere around once in between 25,000,000 and 100,000,000 flight hours.To get the correct answer for your engines you have to use the above system and the average number of hours between in flight failures.
How does a pilot increases the speed of an aircraft during flight?
By adding thrust to the engine or pitching downwards
How can an aircraft fly stable in air at the condition of engine failure?
If it has multiple engines, an aircraft can remain in a stable condition (level flight) if one of the other engines fails. It can do that because the power of that/those functioning engines is enough to do the job of keeping the aircraft in the air. If an aircraft has a single engine and it fails, there is very little possibility that the aircraft will remain in the air for very long, if at all. However, even with power off, it is possible to maintain the aircraft in a stable condition (wings level) as it descends to the earth. A power outage has little or no effect on maintaining a single engine aircraft in a stable condition. The flight controls still function, albeit with markedly less effectiveness and authority. This is all possible because lift is a function of speed. As long as the aircraft's airspeed is above stall speed, it can fly. But a heavier-than-air craft with its engine/s out will not fly more than a few minutes, depending on altitude. During flight training, pilots are taught procedures to do in case of loss of power at altitude.
Is the flight of aircraft made possible by engine and wings?
They are an important part of the aircraft that makes it fly. There are many other parts without which the airplane cannot fly.

Is flight deck an aircraft carrier?
There is a flight deck on an aircraft carrier but, it is not an aircraft carrier as there are many other ships that have flight decks on them. The amphibious assault ship is a good example.
On Microsoft Flight Simulator X how do you get the cargo door to open?
If depends on the type of aircraft, but in general you use Shift+E.
