i saw what the pilot do is it hard to learn all that stuff for take off and landing it look so hard with all those buttons ....if u are a pilot how long did it take u to learn that?

What the ****? What is your point?

Maybe he is talking about memorizing flows ???

-You definately do appear to be drunk. A word of advice and something that will pay dividends in the future is that an educated question will usually yield an educated answer.

instead of "i saw what the pilot do" try "I saw what the pilot does"

also instead of "u" type out "you" it is only two more letters and will make your post more appealing.

I am far from an english major but it is just something that i have learned over the years from experience and education from those wiser than I am.

To make a stab at answering what i think may have been a question:

I am not a pilot on a 727, ERJ, CRJ, B1900, or even C421 or C208, however i do have some experience in flying and an airplane is an airplane. Someone please correct me if i am wrong.

For each aircraft you fly you will learn the basic instruments and switches which are required for flight, you will learn their uses and their placements in the airplanes. As a new student pilot it will probably take you around 15 hours or so to get a very slight grasp on what each guage and switch is for that pertains to your flight.

When you transition to other aircraft you will need to spend sometime on the ground to familiarize yourself with that particular aircrafts instrumentation and layout. For the most part every airplane will contain similiar key instruments and "switches" Once you understand what is what and where it is in that particular airplane it will take you sometime for it to become second nature.

Once you step up into the larger and more complex aircraft there are obviously alot more things to be conscious of and it will take a little bit more ground and flight instruction to learn what these new instruments and/or "switches" are for.

One key element which EVERY aircraft has incommon whether it be a hot air balloon or a triple 7 is a checklist. You will meet the checklist on your first flight and you will be one with them for the rest of your flying career. A checklist is unique to each individual aircraft and it is nice because it makes the job alot easier for you. Not everyone is perfect and remembers everything so that is why there is a checklist. By reading the checklist for each stage of flight, for the most part, it physically tells you what to look at and what to look for and which "switches" to touch. It is up to you however to learn where these instruments and "switches" are through your training and what their uses are and why they are important to you.

When you get into the heavier equipment that requires a type rating there will be ground and flight training involved on that particular aircraft. For example if you get hired flying the CRJ there will likely be approximately 8 weeks or so of training before you are qualified to be a first officer on that airplane. In that training they will teach you the layout of that airplane and all of its instrumentation and switches.

Flows are another story but in short, a flow is something that you establish that makes each task in flight easier to manage. So you have a landing flow, a landing flow is a group of tasks on your checklist that need to be accomplished prior to landing and the flow and is systematic way and method of accomplishing these tasks in the most direct and efficient manner possible.

In closing...No it does not take all that long if you are willing to learn

This was long winded and by no means am i a duty expert in this subject, but as wise man once said "i know a few things about a few things."

And please for your own credibility, do not post when you are drunk and at least make an honest attempt of using complete sentences.

A sentence: has a subject, a predicate and expresses a complete thought.

I think that I have been tricked!!


All that typing for nothing! For what?? To explain something that every single person on this forum already knows!

Click on the link that shows all of his other post, you will see a trend. They all look like they were typed by a 7 year old.

Jakob

Look at his avatar... You'll see he is seven...

USMC, at least one person on here appreciates all the typing... thanks
