Pilots undergo extensive and ongoing training; they must keep up to date with all safety measures and regulations. They are the final visual inspectors of a planes integrity before they take the controls to fly.
Pretty low since pilots are trained to try and avoid built-up areas if they think they might crash.
From my perspective i would have to say a 25% chance of a plane crashing although turbulence can happen a lot but most of the pilots know how to control an Airplane in that kind of problem.
Pretty normal, but they always have too leave there family.
German pilots who were shot down over Britain in both World Wars became prisoners of war if still alive after crashing or landing. Exactly the same happened to British pilots shot down over Germany.
Because they like hairy measles
In the film "Flyboys," the life expectancy of pilots during World War I is portrayed as quite low due to the dangerous nature of aerial combat, with many pilots facing a high risk of being shot down or crashing. Historical accounts suggest that many fighter pilots had a life expectancy of just a few weeks to months in active combat. The film captures the intense and perilous environment these pilots faced, emphasizing the bravery and sacrifice involved in their role.
Yes, and this is for a reason. Pilots are actually trained to crash-land planes in oceans or seas if there is a problem with the plane. Crashing into the sea is safer than crashing on land, the plane wont catch fire or smash into a million pieces, meaning more people will survive.
I'm trying to find the source, but yes. They did. I've heard and/or read and/or been lectured that they often put narcotics in their cigarettes to give them a false sense of euphoria before crashing into a building.
7500, 7600, 7700.
The limiting factor isn't the plane, but the pilot. Most air forces won't allow manouvers above 9 Gs, to keep the pilots from passing out and crashing. -Most fighter aircraft have G meters and pilots will be in trouble if they pull high G during training or other peacetime flights.
Yes, navy pilots and air force pilots are military pilots.
Airplanes are tested over and over again to avoid mechanical failure. Many systems are redundant. Pilots are trained to avoid emergencies and a great deal of the training pilots go through is all about how to handle emergencies. Planes are reliable and when they are not the pilot uses his knowledge to make sure emergencies don't get out of hand.
