Pilots use two pedals on the floor to taxi after landing, the yoke is not used for steering
In commercial flying, two pilots are used to control the throttles in crucial parts of flight (taxi, take off, and landing) so make sure the throttles are in the right place for these parts of flight
Pilots use the Instrument Landing System (ILS) to assist in landing aircraft, particularly in low visibility conditions. ILS provides precise lateral (localizer) and vertical (glideslope) guidance, allowing pilots to align the aircraft with the runway and maintain the correct descent angle. During the approach, the aircraft’s instruments display signals from ground-based ILS equipment, enabling pilots to make necessary adjustments to ensure a safe landing. This system enhances accuracy and safety during the critical landing phase.
The landing gear up and down cycle is usually used by pilots when flying the aircrafts.

Sometimes. The FAA leaves this up to the pilots discretion. At night the landing lights on an aircraft can create an obstruction to vision by lighting any mist or particulates in the air, creating a white haze. Most pilots turn off the landing lights after leaving the traffic pattern. However, the landing lights also make the aircraft much more visible to other pilots, so some pilots prefer to leave them on. As a rule, I turn on the landing lights whenever i am in proximity to an airport or other aircraft, otherwise they are switched off.
All officers on the ship, pilots included, stand watch. The watch that most pilots want to pull is LSO, Landing Signal Officer, as they are the ones helping guide other pilots onto the boat.

The landing speed of the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 typically ranges from 130 to 150 knots, depending on the aircraft's weight, configuration, and environmental conditions. Pilots calculate the exact landing speed using specific parameters such as landing weight and flap settings. It's crucial for safe landings that pilots adhere to these speeds to ensure optimal performance during approach and touchdown.
There are 2 pilots flying the A380 at one given time, although there are 4 pilots on board, 3 are usually in the cockpit during critical phases of flight (landing, taking off, taxiin, etc)
The salary for pilots for Indigo Airlines will depend upon their experience. Most pilots will start out at close to $1,500 per month.
The landing speed of an Airbus A320 typically ranges between 130 to 150 knots (approximately 150 to 175 mph or 240 to 280 km/h), depending on factors such as aircraft weight, configuration, and environmental conditions. Pilots adjust the approach speed based on these variables to ensure a safe landing. It's important for pilots to refer to the aircraft's operating manual for specific landing speed recommendations for different situations.
