What is a sentence using the phrase walk on clouds?
Airplane pilots "walk on clouds".
Why do pilots need a compass?
Pilots first instrument used in flying was a compass so they could orient themselves in what direction they've been heading and should head based on time and speed.
When and where was the first space suites invented?
Early US space suits were adapted from pressure suits designed for pilots of high altitude military and experimental aircraft.
Why do pilots and sailors use a compass?
Pilots and sailors first instrument used in flying and sailing was a compass so they could orient themselves in what direction they've been heading and should head based on time and speed.
How do hot air balloon pilots get their balloons back to earth?
What they do is blast cold air into the "hot" air and it makes the air molecules slow down... Thus it makes the air balloon decrease back to earth.
What is the abbreviation for 'altitude'?
Alt Sometimes, pilots refer to AGL which stands for "Above Ground Level". This is the distance from the ground to the airplane. If the plane flys at a level pressure altitude, this distance can change with the terrain.
What are the people that fly the airplane?
They are called, "Pilots".
What is cockpit in any aeroplane?
An airplane's cockpit is the pilots' station in the airplane.
What do you call a person pilots an airplane?
a pilot
What does approaching minimums means on an airplane?
Approaching minimums is called out by an on board computer when the plane is on approach to land. It means that the pilots are approaching the minimum altitude that they can safely fly to without the runway in sight (ie, through clouds and rain etc). If they reach that minimum altitude and the runway is still not in sight the pilots must call off the landing "go around" and attempt the landing again.
What is a place for pilots in an airplane called?
It is called a cockpit.
Are airplane pilots armed for security?
Since 9-11, the FAA changed its rules so airplane pilots can be armed for security. The cabin door is also closed and has added security.
How do you use the word airplane in a sentence?
Example sentences using the word "airplane" include the ones used in this short story: The family was excited to take their first airplane ride. Once air-born, the airplane climbed to an altitude of 30,000 feet. Turbulence caused the airplane to descend rapidly. Because the turbulence resulted in passengers being injured, pilots diverted the airplane to land at the closest airport. Although the family had bumps and bruises, they still enjoyed their first airplane ride.
What has the author Henry Cuthbert Bazett written?
Henry Cuthbert Bazett has written: 'Respiratory tests for ability to stand high altitude' -- subject(s): Air pilots, Military, Altitude, Influence of, Influence of Altitude, Military Air pilots, Pulmonary function tests
When a pilot mentions that a plane is at an altitude of 34000 feet is that above sea level or above the ground for example 44000 ft above sea level if flying over a mountain range 10000 feet high?
Most likely, neither. When an airplane is flying above FL 180 (18,000 feet above sea level, or 18,000 MSL) in the United States, the altimeter readings are read out based on 'pressure altitude'.Normally altitude is determined by an instrument (altimeter) that utilizes the barometric readings reported at ground reporting stations over which you are flying. However, when cruising at or above FL180, pilots use 'pressure altitude', where the altimeter is set to use 29.92 inches Hg as the barometric pressure for readings. This helps to prevent having to change the instrument settings continuously to match the ground stations, and ensures that pilots flying at these higher altitudes all have the same reference setting for height.
What was the name given to duels in the skies between airplane pilots?
Dogfights
What is the room where pilots sit in an airplane called?
It's called the cockpit
