Pilots (aviation)

Yes you can but it harms your health and heart, you may eventually lose your license due to medical therefore some pilots quit smoking ASAP.

There are quit a few pilots in the US Army, of course most of which are helicopter pilots, if I had to put a number on it I would say approximately 10,000

It depends on what type of pilot you'd like to be. You would start of with a Private Pilot License and then move to a Commercial License to get paid to fly. There are also a ton of ratings you can get for different types of flying and aircraft.

A Navy pilot is assigned to an Air Wing. Air Wings and their Squadrons are assigned to various Naval Air Stations throughout the United States. Squadrons and Detachments are sent to various overseas locations and to various ships. Fixed wings aircraft may be assigned to aircraft carriers for deployments. Heliocopter detachments can be on supply ships, carriers or even smaller ships for a deployment. After a deployment the detachment goes back to the shore location of their squadron and Air Wing.

A small %. If a private pilot was intrument rated they probably have their commercial license so they wouldnt be private pilots they would be commercial pilots

Navy pilots usually start out with the rank of Lt. Junior grade, or Lt. They can be as high as Commander, Captain, or even Admiral.

No, however some airline pilots are captains.

Diego Pablo (Gonzalez) Segui played for the Pilots in 1969 and, in 1977, played his last year of ball for the Mariners in Seattle, where he was dubbed the "Ancient Mariner."

In the UK, you can't log any flying hours until you are 14 years of age. You can take flying lessons earlier, but it wouldn't count towards your pilot's licence.

In the United States, whenver you want SWB...plus its free for your private pilots license, you are required 40 hours of flight time (this can be done within a week, if you have the time and the funds). You must be 16 to solo and 17 to take your practical flight test. You are required to take a written test before your flight test and you are required to get a flight medical before you solo. The flight medical will be your student pilot license. There are schools that will take you all the way to your Air Transport Pilot License in 180 and $70,000.

It's a person, trained by the military to fly military aircraft such as jet fighters, bombers, tankers, etc.

medical certificate if required and an appropriate pilot certificate.

Someone should research this. Anytime I've been at an airport, or with my husband's pilot friends, I've noticed it is difficult to find a pilot with brown eyes.

There must be some genetic link between the character / personality, of those who become pilots, and the color of eyes. One would think that Pilots are generally more outgoing, risk taking and daring than others, to go into this field.

Students who will successfully complete all Air Force ROTC curriculum and degree requirements will enter active duty as Second Lieutenants. Air Force Pilot then applies. As a second Lieutenant you can expect a starting salary of $35,000, tax free government housing and food allowance, with 30 days of vacation with pay each year, comprehensive medical and dental care, $250,000 low cost life insurance and a variety of recreational facilities. For a Colonel the starting salary would be $108 thousand.

A person who is learning to fly.

Pilots fight in the sky; Infantrymen fight on the ground.

A prone pilot is a pilot laying on his belly. In this position he can counter higher g-forces in turns or pull-ups as with the conventional seated position. Reason: the vertical height between heart and brain is less, so the heart has less problems to feed the brain when g-forces are increased.

Many think this is a very bad position for the pilot when you think about comfort. Wrong guess. I tested a few prone positions at home and can say that if properly supported you can be in that position for hours.

Because a large piece of metal hitting the side of another piece of metal causes lots and lots of damage. The Japanese pilots of WW2 were trained to fight until all their ordinance was gone and their fuel was almost expended, then they would have no choice but to 'die with honor' by dealing as much final damage as they could with the only viable weapon left in their arsenal - their plane. At those speeds, a plane impacting the side of a warship could deal more damage than the bombs the fighter carried as ordinance, and certainly more then a light machine gun. The goal was to take down the enemy no matter what. "Never give up, Never surrender."

No, he was not a Navy pilot. He commanded a PT boat, PT-109, during World War 2. His boat was destroyed and he won a Navy Cross for his efforts to return his crew to safety.

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.

It of course depends on who you ask, but in general, training for Naval Aviators is more difficult than it is for Air Force pilots. The primary difference is that AF pilots don't have to train to launch and recover from a moving ship in the middle of the ocean in all types of weather, day or night. The analogy is like trying to hit a moving postage stamp in the middle of the ocean. Air Force planes take off and land at fixed-point air bases on solid ground.

Yep.
