How do you use aircraft?
You fly them, for transporting property or people, or for combat or leisure.
What are uses of aircraft today?
Transporting cargo, transporting people, recreation, fire fighting, surveying land and water, construction, military
What are air traffic controller's actions if there is a rapid decompression with an aircraft?
Any aircraft experiencing an emergency situation such as this takes priority over other aircraft. As soon as a controller becomes aware of the situation the immediate priority will be to ensure that any aircraft below the one suffering the decompression are moved out of the area so as to facilitate emergency descent. Depending on traffic levels this may be by giving specific instructions to specific aircraft, or a more general call to all aircraft in the area to vacate the area. The crew of the aircraft with the emergency will be following their own procedures, so the air traffic controller would generally not try to give any instructions to this aircraft until the crew advise that they can accept them. However the controller would pass any information that was considered appropriate, for example if there was high ground in the area that may affect the emergency descent. Further actions would then depend on the particular circumstances and would depend on the wishes of the pilot of the aircraft, but a diversion to the nearest suitable aerodrome would be likely.
Can people with Marfan syndrome fly in an airplane?
Yes. A person with Marfan syndrome should have no problem flying in a commercial aircraft. Flights in an unpressurized aircraft are not recommended though, because the changes in altitude can cause a collapsed lung (pneumothorax), a particular risk for people with Marfan syndrome.
How did bomber hats get the name?
They are hats similar to those worn by early biplane pilots and crew of military aircraft (e.g. bombers) up through WW2 to protects their head (especially ears and eyes) from the wind and cold of open cockpit and unpressurized closed cockpit aircraft.
What is recreational flying?
Recreational flying refers to flying an aircraft for a use that is not transporting people or cargo.
What is a bizjet?
A bizjet is a relatively small jet aircraft designed for transporting groups of businesspeople or wealthy individuals.
What is airliner?
An airliner is an airplane, usually large, used for transporting passengers and cargo. Such aircraft are operated by airlines.
Can you open a door in the air of a 747?
yes you can. but i can't advise it. since an aircraft is a pressurized vessel. you will get explosive decompression, this can be EXTREMELY dangerous, and can result in the plane going down.
How did the West respond to the closing of land routes into West Berlin?
By transporting goods/materials/food by a massive continuous aircraft fleet.
What determines an aircraft's age?
An aircraft is officialy "born" on its rollout. From then, it is like a human birthday. Aircraft have flight logs in them that record the number of hours they've been flown. This is usually the marker used to determine the "age" of an aircraft. If the airframe has not been stressed because it sat around in a hanger, it has low hours and is nearly "good as new" from the point of view of its air worthiness. Also important for the larger aircraft is the number of takeoffs and landings. These determine the number of cycles of decompression and recompression with the ship's achievement of high altitude in transit, and then its return to the "normal" pressure on the ground. It is the number of flight hours on a craft, and the number of decompression-recompression cycles (on the larger airframes) that "age" an aircraft. Inspection, maintenance, and rebuilding cycles are all based on the hours on the airframe and engine(s).
Why are aircraft flights sometimes identified as heavy?
Aircraft have a maximum weight they can lift for a given altitude, so if they are on the limit of their weight allowance, they will be described as 'heavy'. However this is not to be confused with a heavy lift capacity, which is a large aircraft that can haul large and heavy items, such aircraft are generally used by the military for transporting and rapidly deploying such items as Tanks.
