Quoting A342 ( Reply 10 ): That seems to be nothing more than an artist's impression. Well, obviously nobody has built it...what would there be other than an artist's impression? Quoting A342 ( Reply 10 ): IMO nobody would seriously suggest 747-derived fuselages. Somebody *did* suggest it...I really have no idea on how serious they were, though.

DocLighting, Unfortunately I can't tell you any other name. I used this term when describing to foreign doctors. Pseudo erosion means that it is not a wound, which would be erosion, but a condition, the nature of which is such that the cells normally found inside the womb are also found in cervix. So, basically the inner part of the womb is "prolonged" to the cervix, that is. I studied FAA Medical Certificate Class 1...

Quoting Mir ( Reply 22 ): Quoting CosmicCruiser (Reply 18): Not sure I follow you on that but you do need clearance to cross any runway in the US. You don't need specific clearance - a simple taxi clearance without a mention of a hold-short is enough. In other words, clearance to cross is assumed unless stated otherwise. That's not the case in some other countries, where a hold short is assumed unless stated otherwise. -Mir Bad...

Quoting FLY2HMO ( Reply 43 ): Listening to my scanner often while pretending to read back and flying to busy places really made me good at radio calls. Heck, many times (specially out by SoCal) I was the one that had to jump in for my instructor falling behind on the radios. My check pilots always complimented on my calls as well.

Quoting Longitude ( Reply 10 ): why the radiation doses are less on the Equator The Earth's magnetic field captures radiation from space and diverts it towards the poles. Think about how your compass works: somewhat imaginary "lines of magnetic flux" emanate out of the Earth at the north pole and point towards the south pole. The magnetic needle in the compass aligns itself with these lines so it always points towards the north...

Maybe. It depends on a few things: - Need. If there is a need, and by need I mean "economic rationale", it will be built. Simple as that. - Technology. If someone invents an ultra-lightweight airframe material, or much more efficient engines, making larger planes makes more economic sense. Also if you count zeppelins and blimps as planes, there have already been way larger ones than ...

I would think that it means that the runway is planned to be clear when you arrive at the decision point. This would be why we have the Go-Around procedures, just in case your clearance becomes unsafe and it needs to be "voided" in a way by a controller. If the runway had to be clear from the point that the aircraft on approach was cleared to land to the point that it exits the runway, ...

I can not give you a sure answer as I am not familiar with Russian regulations, but here in the US, a number of the charter operators will take FO's with around 500-750 hours.

For the most part it is uncontrolled and there for there isn't so much violations that occur as there are pilots operating non-standard. There are pilots that will fly into uncontrolled airports without talking to anyone. I suppose if the FAA was watching and an unsafe situation occurred they could have the pilots go through retraining. Doesn't sound like there was anything wrong with ...

Quoting Longitude ( Thread starter ): starting from that one which comes out of ground devices That's really no different than what John Doe walking down the street gets. Pilots, if anything might get a bit more radiation from the WX radars on the planes. But everybody is subject to ILS, VOR, TACAN, MLS, radar, etc radiation whether a pilot or not.

A number of reasons. Among them are the extra time it would take to descend to breathable altitude in the event of a loss of pressurization, and the cost/weight of building a structure capable of the higher differential pressure.

Two reasons come to mine. 1. Ground clearance: Mounting the engines forward of the wings means they can also ride pretty high. Ever since big-fan engines arrived, they've been cantilevered way out in front of the wing. The 737 is a perfect example. Originally designed with low bypass, small diameter JT8-D mounted in the traditional (for the time) place directly under the wing, the ...
