Pilots (aviation)

Commercial pilots are pilots who get paid for flying. They hold at least a Commercial Pilots Licence and usually have more ratings eg an Instrument Rating that allow them to fly in cloud, at night or in bad weather etc. Commercial flying is a very broad arena that includes Passenger and Cargo Airlines, Charter flying, Executive flying etc

Generally, no. Some types of color blindness are OK for general aviation, but red-green color blindness is almost always a disqualification, because the wingtip lights are red and green.

Most doctors will make more than a pilot, but SOME pilots may make more than SOME doctors. Depends on what kind of doctor, what kind of pilot, and how much experience.

Subjects needed to become a lyricist are music classes and appreciation. Other subjects that should be taken are sheet music and business as it relates to music.

The SR-71 had 1 pilot, but had a a crew of two. The other crew member was in charge of the reconnaissance part of the mission.

FO i think means First Officer. Its the post that one gets after completing his CPL or you can say the very first post in this business.

Commercial Pilots usually eat in the cocckpit if they are on duty. They hand over control to the co-pilot and when they are finished the copilot eats

Chuck Yeager is a very famous test pilot. He was the first to break the sound barrier.

Another famous test pilot was Howard Hughes, who test piloted for his own company, Hughes Aircraft.

Another was Neil Armstrong, who piloted the X-15 and was the first person to walk on the Moon.

The link below goes to an a list of famous test pilots in Wikipedia.

Okay - People and even politicians, as well as newspapers, quote the hours worked by a flight crew member as 80 hours a month. This a number that was negotiated through years of labor/management contracts in regards to hours paid only (read:not worked). In other words, Crew Members are only paid when the "wheels are moving", i.e. pushed back from the gate until parking the brake at Destination. This does not begin to account for the total hours worked getting an airplane ready to load passengers or cargo, flight planning, weather planning, pre-flighting the cockpit, monitoring fueling, weight and balance, security briefing crew and air marshalls, reviewing maintanence log books and exceptions, exterior inspection, weekly updates to charts and airports and navigation sites that must be reviewed and filed prior to getting paid, deplanning passengers or cargo; all accomplished in an efficient and professional manner "off the clock". Now add in the hours spent away from home waiting to be legal for the return leg - sitting in a hotel room or worse lounging at the airport - and you have employees devoting 2 hours for every 1 hour paid time. And that is only for normal operations. The Pilots must also make correct decisions which sometimes take the aircraft away from its scheduled destination for reasons of medical emergencies or weather related delays or mechanical problems.

Usually on the right.

depends on which plane you are flying in a little cessna can easily bin run by only 1 pilot.

but for big Boeing 747 there are 4 maybe even 5 pilots in the cabin.

pilot = píolótach in Irish

You need to do math well.
Pilots should be physically fit, have excellent spatial awareness, and know how to navigate.

Their population number is between 440,000 and 1,370,000 Pilot Whales.

One of the greatest aviatrixes in the United States if not the world was Jacqueline Cochran. Even though she died back in 1980, she still holds more aviation records than ANY pilot, male OR female! Among her many, many accomplishments, she was the first woman to break the sound barrier. She was also the first woman to land and take off from an aircraft carrier, the first woman to pilot a bomber across the North Atlantic (in 1941), the first woman enshrined in the Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio, the first pilot to make blind (instrument) landing, the ONLY woman to ever be President of the Federation Aeronautique lnt'l (58-61), the first woman to fly a jet airplane across the Atlantic, the first pilot to fly above 20,000 feet with an oxygen mask and the first woman to enter the Bendix Trans-continental Race.

Up until the Vietnam War, jet fighter pilots HAD to fly the aircraft, there were no computers (as we know them today). If a Vietnam era Phantom pilot blacked out at the controls, he crashed. If a US Navy Crusader pilot was wounded and couldn't land his plane on a carrier's decks, he crashed. Those jets had standard instruments (gauges and dials) and manually operated controls (mechanical computers existed then, they were just like the odometer on the cars prior to digital screens); if a pilot couldn't pull those levers during strong "G" turns, he lost control of his aircraft.

Today's 21st century fighter pilots use computers; if the pilot blacks out, the computer takes over and flies the aircraft. If the pilot can't land on a carrier, the computer lands the plane. Pilots read TV screens now (heads up displays), very FEW gauges and dials (compared to Viet War jets), controls are assisted by computers so that strength is NO LONGER required for flying. If a pilot wants to try some dangerous Vietnam dog-fight style of maneuvering, the computer may not let the pilot do it.

If a pilot is an expert at video games (experienced in computer games), and knows the basics of aeronautics, and the aircraft...the pilot can fly a jet fighter.

Both are correct.

In the USA there is technically no lower age limit to fly as long as you are with a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). However, there are age restrictions for certain pilot certificates. Below is a summary of the age restrictions:
Student Pilot - 16
Private Pilot - 17
Commercial Pilot - 18
Airline Transport Pilot - 23

On her long flights Amelia liked to pack boiled eggs and tomato juice.

Check your owner's manual. Depending if you drive under the Normal or Severe maintenance schedule, what needs to be serviced at a specific mileage varies.

If you don't have the manual, go to the Honda website, sign up for the Honda Owner Link, and there you'll be able to see the maintenance schedule.
