What is the basics of flying?

Answer 1

To control a plane you need to understand how it works. The general idea is that the wind will flow over the wing is such a way that it creates a pocket underneath the wing pushing it up hence the plane rises. The pilot controls these functions from his yoke. Most people think of it as a steering wheel. When he pushes the yoke down the plane dips down and when he pulls it back the plane rises. Leaning it right and left will turn the plane in that direction. The throttle is what controls the power coming from the engines. The way a planes engine works is a moter spins the giant turbine at the front of the engine. These are the giant blades you see. From there the air is put through quickly then put though a chamber that has fuel injected into the tube that is ignited a second later. This is what creates the energy needed to propel the plane. There will be a start up manual for most commercial aircraft but for many private planes it can be as simple as just turning a key to start it. There will be 2 foot petals that will allow the plane to turn on the runway. They work by turning the flaps on the tail. Now that we have the plane started you need to disable the break. For a comertial plane this will be very complicated. The easiest way is stupid lol All you need to do is get into the "pit" a crawl space underneath the cockpit where all the wires run. You just need to cut the break line. This is handy is you are stealing a commercial plane but it makes it a tad hard to land. But lets worry about that later. On a private plane there will be a break switch or petal. Now that you have the plane started and the breaks disabled you need to take off. Since you are on the runway you cant tip the plane over to turn it so you need to use the foot petals to turn. Since your stealing a commercial plane you need to find the longest run way possible so that you have enough room to take off. If you are in a private plane then you will not need a very long runway. Once you think you have enough speed you need to wait 5-10 more seconds because your perception is off and if you think you have enough you are wrong. The next part is pretty simple. All you do is pull the yoke towards you slowly and the nose of the plane will come up followed by the rest of the plane. Now that your in the air things get simple. Just keep the plane on the steady coarse that you want. If you run into a fog bank you need to watch your instruments. They will never lie to you but your mind might. The crashes over the brumata triangle are usually from pilots flying into a fog bank and not watching there instruments they are upside down when they think there right side up then they see water and pull the yoke up and go right into it. But enough about that, just trust your instruments and you will live to see another day. But now that you have reached your destination it is time to land. If your thinking OMG I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS then your prolly in trouble. In my opinion its pretty easy. First mistake people make is they lower the throttle before they touch down. So first things first you want to land like you are taking off. lol confused by that? I mean you need to land with your nose in the air but not to much in the air. Basically just land with your rear wheels first. Then slowely ease the throttle down and your front wheel will touch down. Now that you have all 3 wheels on the ground you need to start pulling the throttle down fast before you crash into a building. Dont forget to apply the brake. Of course if you cut the brake line then you have a problem and need a much longer runway. Whoopse i forgot after you take off you need to raise the landing gear. On a commertial plane there will be a series of commands you need to follow but on a private plane there will be just a lever that you pull down. So here we are we took off and landed and nobody died hope i helped :P

P.S. if you are flying a commercial plane with passengers what may seem like a small incline will feel like they are going strait up and ime sure you will have quite a few screaming people.

Hope i helped
