There are procedures to be done before initiating an evacuation. The pilots would have to positively depressurise the aircraft by ensuring the outflow valves are fully open otherwise there may be difficulties in opening the enrty/exit doors because they are plug type doors. The pilots would...

I dont think this statement is correct .

Yes you had to turn right . The IGS brought you to a certain point on the approach which was very much offset from the runway centreline. After you broke off from the approach you had to visually align yourself up with the runway. Visual approaches can be assisted by certain cues, either natural...

Another point, most airlines require the approach to be stabilised by 1000 feet for the regular approaches but they accept lower stabilised altitudes under certain conditions eg a runway sidesteps or circling approaches. A sidestep is when you are initially assigned a certain landing runway but...

Ah this was the old IGS approach as opposed to an ILS approach. In the latter, the instruments in the cockpit communicate with the instruments on the ground and the pilot follows the resultant signals as presented on his instruments to fly straight in to land. This is good if the approach is '...

Yes , the meteorological conditions were perfect for flying. This is just unfortunate. There are certain ' gates' where you check if you are looking good for the landing. When you reach these ' gates' you check your speed, your profile ( high or low on the approach to land ) and your aircraft...

It could be that there were many departures or arrivals to or from the many Indian cities at that time.

RULES OF THE AIR (from Australian Aviation Magazine) - Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory. - If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. If you pull the stick back, they get smaller. That is, unless you keep pulling the stick all the way back, then they get...

Clear Air Turbulence is very dangerous because unlike clouds, this type of turbulence cannot be detected by the weather radar which makes avoiding those areas very difficult. CAT causes most of the turbulence related injuries and deaths.

Re: Guess the race time!! Pilot and co pilot put air hostess in charge of flying plan This is quite a pretty nonya.

Re: Guess the race time!! Pilot and co pilot put air hostess in charge of flying plan I must agree with you 'scored on them ' is the correct term. This poor success rate gave rise to my nick.

Re: Guess the race time!! Pilot and co pilot put air hostess in charge of flying plan Some purples still look good especially if they really take care of health, complexion and shape. This can be done by regular light exercise, good diet and avoiding the usual stuff such as cigarettes and...

Re: Guess the race time!! Pilot and co pilot put air hostess in charge of flying plan No such luck for me mate, never scored on them.

Re: Guess the race time!! Pilot and co pilot put air hostess in charge of flying plan Can you spot me?

Re: Guess the race time!! Pilot and co pilot put air hostess in charge of flying plan No special service for the pilots they need to focus on their jobs. Yes I have a purple kebaya but still maintain my figure.

Re: Guess the race time!! Pilot and co pilot put air hostess in charge of flying plan The cabin staff can come into the cockpit for specific duties eg serving meals and drinks, for special briefings and such operational matters. Pilots are not confined to the cockpit until arrival at...

Re: Guess the race time!! Pilot and co pilot put air hostess in charge of flying plan Pre 911 it was up to Company policy as to whether people could be invited to the cockpit. Now the law that disallows that bro, so it is taken out of Company policy or pilots' discretion.

Re: Guess the race time!! Pilot and co pilot put air hostess in charge of flying plan There still is a person behind the wheel to take corrective action as the device merely alerts. It is also easier to manage this problem on the ground because the vehicle can stop unlike when in the air.
