Yes, but only if it is a prescribed medication.
The number of flight attendants required on an Airbus aircraft depends on its configuration and the regulations of the airline and the country in which it operates. Generally, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the U.S. mandates one flight attendant for every 50 passenger seats. For example, an Airbus A320, which typically seats around 150 passengers, would usually require at least three flight attendants.
It really depends on how many passengers are on the specific type of 737 aircraft. In the usa the FAA requires one flight attendant for every 50 passengers. On your average 737 you'll see around three or four.
Flight Attendants are on board an aircraft firstly for the safety, and secondly for the comfort of all the aircraft occupants (this includes the pilots). They are a requirement of the of the FAA and other Civil Aviation Authorities and their most important function is the evacuation of the aircraft in an emergency situation.
Flight trackers work by getting information directly from the FAA. Planes keep the FAA up to date with their exact location and the FAA pushes the information through the flight tracker.
at what time did the FAA halt ALL flight operation at United States airports?
Primary purpose and FAA requirement is to ensure the safety of the passengers. FAA requirements: 0-19 PAX = No F/A 30-50 PAX = 1 F/A 51-100 PAX = 2 F/A 1 F/A for each additional 50 passengers. The secondary purpose of the Flight Attendant is to make the passengers' travel experience more enjoyable, through beverage service, catering, and operating in-flight entertainment systems.
The FAA makes the ultimate decision for that during the tests that are conducted.
A flight simulator has many different aspects for FAA approval. Take a look at aeronautical systems engineering, leading Avionics Simulation design flight simulation,Flight Training Systems. Building certified FAA motion base systems www.aerosyseng.com They manufacture Full Flight Simulators 6 DOF systems that are Faa Qualified Level D They also make non motion Flight training devices aka FTD fully enclosed cockpit and they are FAA Qualified Level 6. There is another device called Advanced Aviation Training Device or AADT not enclosed cockpit buy utilizes same instruments as the Full Flight Simulator (FFS)
Yes otherwise they would not be allowed an operating certificate or have it revoked by the FAA. However, on a recent flight from Las Vegas to Detroit 3/21/12 flight 488, many passengers had their seats reclined prior to take off. The flight attendants made no attempts to have passengers put their seats in an upright position. This is an unsafe practice and against FAA rules. Also, if you are six feet tall or taller, you will have an uncomfortable flight . The seats are so close together that your knees are against the back seat of the person in front of you. If the person in front of you reclines their seat during flight, you may feel discomfort.
It's safer than you think. It's very rare that anything ever happen during flight. If it wasn't safe, the FAA wouldn't allow you to fly on it.
The FSDO is the FAA Flight Standards District Office.
As you are an ex-flight attendant, you already know that random drug tests for flight attendants are now the norm and mandated by the FAA. I'd say that it's not likely you could regain another flight attendant position...I don't think most airlines would bother when they already have a lot of applicants as it is...
