Why do pilots use red glasses?

For maximum utilization of scotopic vision( a vision of eye in low light), 20 to 30 minutes in total darkness are required to attain satisfactory retinal dark adaptation. An alternative is to have the aircrew member wear red goggles for 20 to 30 minutes before flying. When worn in normal illumination, red goggles will not interfere significantly with the ability to read most maps, charts, manuals, etc., as long as the printing is not in red ink. Red goggles block all light except red, which enhances rod dark adaptation because red light does not stimulate the scotopic system.

Is it dangerous to be a pilot?

Why do fighter pilots wear g-suits?

if a fighter pilot pulls a really sharp turn the blood will try to pull away from his head, with the risk of him becoming unconscious. The g-suit compresses his body, making it easier for him to keep some blood in his brain and remain awake to fly the plane.

Can women be air force pilots?

YES YES YES Individuals interested in career opportunities as Air Force officers should contact an Air Force recruiter. They will be required to take the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test, which tests math, verbal and analytical aptitude. The quickest - and some would say easiest - method to obtain an officer's commission is through OTS. The disadvantage is that the candidate has already paid for his or her own college education. ROTC provides the advantage of offering attractive college scholarships. The Air Force Academy is for candidates who want to immerse themselves in the military lifestyle and the prestige of a service academy.rce recruiter.

How to become a pilot?

Flying is not the career that it used to be. Today's pilots go through quite a great deal to get to fly the planes that they do. There really are two paths that you can take to become a pilot. First is to apply for acceptance in one of the military training programs (Army, Air Force, Navy) and they will put you through the paces to becoming a pilot.

The second is the more common and harder path. The first step is your private permit. Try to find a part 141 school near you if at all possible. This is an accreditation process that helps later on. Take the discovery flight and start the lessons.

After about 55 to 80 hours, you will be ready to take the real plunge. Your private certificate. (The minimum is 40 hours but almost no one gets there that quick.)

Once you have your private certificate, you are ready to start learning to really fly. Get 125 hours or more in and start setting up for your instrument rating. Many people combine this with their commercial rating and that is a less expensive method.

When you are done with these ratings you need your multi engine rating. Try getting involved in any weather flying as soon as you can. IFR (bad weather) flying is always a plus.

Now the paths start separating slightly. Guys need far more hours of actual flying than females do. Men will also need to get their ATP rating by themselves normally. (Women in Aviation will help females with this.) At about 300 hours of twin time for women and 1,200 hours for guys you can start looking for a job in the cargo area. Females may find it easier to enter some areas due to quotas needing to be filled. Charter flying will be much easier for girls to get into with fewer hours (as an example).

Flying cargo or charter for a year will build your hours and weather experience to the point that you can get hired by the commuters. Pay really is bad here, but most people do not stay long. Keep applying for the majors. Keep a safe flying record and a friendship with everyone. Relationships are more important here then ANY other field.

Note of clarification: While it may be easier for women to get a job in some instances, there is no differentiation in the FAA requirements for the various certificates and ratings between men and women.

What qualifications to become a airline pilot?

See the link below to the FAA's website that outlines the requirements (age, medical, training, etc,) for obtaining a pilot's certificate for the type of flying you want to do.

Above and beyond these basic requirements, the qualifications needed are dependent on the type of flying you want to do. For example, flying commercial or military aircraft generally requires a college degree, although this non-FAA requirement has been waived in the past during periods of pilot shortages.

What is the highest pay out for an Exacta?

exacta payouts are based upon a pari-mutuel wagering pool. Basically, it all depends on how many people bet on the exacta that just won. If you are the only bettor on EX 1-2 and you bet $2, and the size of the exacta pool is 1000, then you just hit a 1000 dollar exacta. Conversely, if 100 people had bet $2 on EX 1-2 and the pool was 1000, then the exacta payout would be calculated thus- there are two hundred dollars that have to split the other 800, so therefore each *winning* dollar wagered would get paid out 4 bucks in profit. That's an 10 dollar exacta payout. Of course, this math doesnt count for the take of the particular racetrack in that state, but it should help.

In my research, i have found over analysis of 1000 races that the average exacta payout is 89 dollars, the median is 48 dollars, and the mode is 27 dollars.

I have personally hit a 720 dollar exacta before, but I've seen larger payouts go up to 1,200!

What occupations are considered to be the most dangerous?

Aircraft pilots work with helicopters and other aircraft, which are used usually in emergencies that can cause the pilot to die.

Why were the u-2 pilots required to carry a suicide pill?

They weren't required to. The idea was, a U-2 is a spyplane flying over enemy territory so the enemy would probably do very bad things to them if they were captured, so the pilots had the option of carrying a "L-pill" with them on their flights. Most of the pilots refused to carry it.
