How does an aircraft get to its altitude?
Either after take off the pilot turns on auto pilot or he pitches the plane nose up by pullling back on the plane yoke a yoke is used to make the plane go up and dwn
Can a plane take off on auto pilot?
Yes. It can take-off on auto pilot. But we have to programme it correctly according to the procedure. All commercial airplanes take-off manually.
When the pilot opens the throttle what happens to a plane?
When the pilot opens the throttle, the plane starts to move. If pointed down a runway, it can take off.
What drives the plane at take off?
The captain and copilot pull the yoke back and the aircraft takes off autopilot can't help take off for some reason. Pilot's fly the plane .
How can one visit the pilot on a plane?
A person can visit the pilot on a plane before the plane takes off. Someone can ask to see the pilot before taking off and they can meet them. Many pilots also welcome the passengers onto the plane, so they can be met that way as well.
How do you use takeoff in a sentence?
Example from a pilot speaking inside a plane: This is American Airways 3953 we are ready for take off over.
What causes airplanes to take off?
Lift is what ultimatly causes the plane to take off. When a plane get up to take off speed, that means the wings are generating enough lift to lift the plane up. The pilot will change the planes angle of attack with the elevators (located on the horizontal stabilizers) to the wind which forces engine thrust to push the plane into the air.
What do you do to make a plane lift off?
there are several ways a plane can take off. 1 would be the normal way a plane has an engine that is put at full power at the end of a runway and the plane speeds up and when there is enough wind flowing through the wing and enough power from the engine the pilot can pull back on the flight stick and he or she is airborne.
How do instruments help planes fly through clouds?
In a cloud, there are no visual references to tell the pilot how the plane is angled. A pilot might accidentally climb so hard that the plane stalls out. Or take off in the wrong direction, or fly into the ground. With instruments, the pilot can keep the plane aligned w/o seeing outside the cockpit.
Why is wind strength important for a pilot?
Wind strength or wind speed is important to a pilot because it effect the pilot's ability control the plane while in flight, upon take off, upon final approach and upon landing.
What would happen if someone refuses to turn off a lap top on a plane before flight?
They would be escorted from the plane. An airplane pilot has the same powers as a ship's captain. On the plane what he says goes. Disobey the pilot and you will be put off of the airplane.
What control the airplanes?
The pilot and co-pilot. You may not see them, as they are way in front. On some big planes like the Boeing 747, need more than 2 people to fly the plane. When I was young, I thought the plane was driven by the computer, automatically, and it was smart enough to ensure that everyone is inside the plane, or know how to take off and land.However, if you are talking about the airplane in the sky, sometimes there is a computer which flies the plane. the autopilot, especially on long flights. In case of emergency, the pilot/co-pilot will turn it off so they can fly how they want it to be. But the autopilot actually isn't that smart. It cannot avoid bad weather, or other incoming planes and other obstacles. The pilot has to control it manually.Before the flight, the pilot must program the autopilot before it can fly. And believe me, it is a lot harder than it sounds. The pilot must program the right altitude, the right speed, the direction, and what angles the plane has to turn to stay on route.So the pilot will usually fly the plane during take-off and landing, and can relax during the flight.Hope this answers your question.
