How to shave in flight? Is shaving kit (razors, blades etc) allowed in international flights?
Q. I need to shave my beard everyday since many of them turned gray. However while in international flight(which takes around 25 hours) how would I shave? Are blades, razors, shaving cream allowed in international flights? If not then how would one shave in flight?

A. Safety razors and less than 3 oz. cans of shaving foam are allowed and many airlines offer them in business and 1st class. Just go in the bathroom and shave, I usually bring along an electric razor on long flights, it's a lot easier than foam and razors in a cramped airplane bathroom. Electric and safety razors are not prohibited and are perfectly fine to bring onto an airplane, at least in the US and Asia where I fly to and from frequently.

What happens if you miss your flight and it is your fault?
Q. Say I wanted to book two separate flights to make it to my destination (meaning I would book one flight to one airport and when I arrived there I would have a layover until my next flight to my final destination left a couple of hours later). I would be booking this myself... possibly even two different airlines. If my first flight were delayed and I missed my second flight, the airline would see it as my fault. So what would happen in this situation? Would I have to buy a whole other ticket at full price on the spot to make it to my destination?

A. you can get on the next available flight if there is room, if there isn't any room then you better hope and pray that someone doesn't make it to that flight and then you get there spot.. sort of a waiting list type a thing... its happen to me before

I've heard of the introductury flights offered by flight schools and had questions?
Q. I've heard of those introductury flights offered by flight schools for $100 and under, and was wondering what happens during one? Do you get to sit up front in the passenger seat during the flight? Can you take your camera with? How long does the flight last? Thanks in advance.
Asked by Matt - Tue Apr 15 19:55:41 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The introductory flight is an introduction to flight instruction. You will preflight the airplane, under your instructor's supervision. You will sit in the left front seat as a student pilot, and the instructor will sit in the right seat. You will be given preliminary experiences with some basic maneuvers, and you may make a supervised landing. In most cases they will give you a cheap logbook, and log your flight as actual time toward your certificates. You will be too busy to take pictures while in the air, but if you are a picture taking type, bring your camera. There will be other things you will want pictures of.

Does the Flight Management Computer provide autopilot inputs?
Q. In commercial aircraft that are equipped with a Flight Management Computer (FMC) are flight guidance inputs transferred to the auto-pilot? I have also seen a similar instrument reffered to as a MCDU (Management Control Disply Unit) and it occupies the same space on the control pedestal as the FMC. I know that these instruments provide and calculate information on ETA's fuel management, flight planning etc. But does it actually provide command to the autopilot? And if so, can an entire course be planned and be used to command the AP? How does the Pilot know when various waypoints have been reached or other criteria have been met? I may have confused the FMC and MCDU.

A. The FMC (also called FMS - Flight Management System in some installations) is generally a remotely mounted computer, located in the avionics bay along with the radio receiver/transmitter units, TCAS, EGPWS, etc. The MCDU is the actual display screen and keyboard that you see in the flight deck. It's just a "dumb" control panel for the FMC. The radios work the same way; controllers/displays in the flight deck, actual radios in the avionics bay. The FMC sends guidance commands to the flight director, which drives the autopilot. Pilots monitor progress by viewing information displayed on the multi-function display (MFD). It's usually set to display a moving map that can be configured to show flight plan waypoints, high or low navigation… [cont.]

Why does my computer restart after running flight simulator for a long time?
Q. I do long flights on Microsoft Flight Simulator X. I usually takeoff, go to bed and wake up 8 hours later and land. Lately, my computer seems to be incapable of running the game for this long. When I go to bed, I minimize flight sim and turn off the screen. I get up, turn on the screen and right when I maximize flight sim, it freezes up and restarts. It says a serious error occurred. It also restarts even when the screen is on and flight sim is running. Any ideas?

A. It sounds like you're running out of memory. Have you checked your task manager when running the program or run it while you leave the program on over night? Maybe don't minimize the flight simulator at all. Turning the screen off has nothing to do with it. Run disk cleanup before you do a flight tonight. If that doesn't fix it give me a call and we can discuss other tools and procedures to keep your computer "tuned up".

A. First, the bad news: You will leave the secure area and have to go through security again at SFO. OK, leaving the airplane on your arrival at SFO you will be in Terminal 3. Follow signs for baggage claim and ground transportation. When you leave the secure area, turn right and keep walking. It's about a five minute walk to the international terminal. Consult TV screens to see what gate you need to go to. Go through security and to that gate. Continue to breathe normally.

A. I have yet to see anywhere you can rent an airplane without a checkout. This isn't so much a school requirement as an insurance requirement. Many places require a certain number of hours in a particular type of plane before a pilot is allowed to rent the plane, even after the checkout. This is an insurance thing. I have never had a tough checkout, I wouldn't say they are costly or time consuming. All of my checkouts have been between 1 and 1.5 hours. Hardly a costly investment. I understand your point, I'd rather not pay the extra money and the hour of my time but in the end, its an hour.

Is There A Direct Relation Between Flight Departure Times and How Crowded Airports Are?
Q. Is there a direct relation between flight departure time and how crowded an airport is? Like, if your flight leaves early in the morning, the airport will be less crowded, right? So does anybody have any statistics on the effect flight departure time has on how crowded an airport is? Thanks!
Asked by Moi - Mon Nov 19 17:21:50 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Depending on where the airport is located, sometimes airlines schedule all the flights to depart at a certain time and arrive around a certain time. Here in Cincinnati, many Delta flights leave between 9:00 am - 10:00 am. Then during the airport is pretty quiet with planes landing around 10:30 - 11:30 so they will all depart again around noon or 1:00 pm. But some airports are almost always busy such as Chicago or Atlanta because there are so many flights operating out of those airports there are people waiting for their connecting flight. So to answer your question, the airport will be more crowded if there is a number of flights departing at a particular time. No statistics to report but what I wrote is based on my experience.

A. If it leaves at a local time of 11:00am in Paris and arrives at a local time of 12:30pm in montreal, the flight time would be the difference between these times (1 hour 30 minutes) plus the difference between the two time zones. Montreal is in 5 hours behind GMT and France is 1 hour ahead of GMT meaning that the time difference between the two places is 6 hours. Since you are traveling "back in time" (to an earlier time zone) you add the difference on to your flight time. 1 hour 30 minutes plus 6 hours is 7 hours 30 minutes.

What exactly is a flight hour?
Q. I know that some airlines pay their flight attendants by the flight hour. I was wondering exactly what that is. Thanks.

A. At my airline, flight time (pay hours) begin the moment the main passenger door is closed before pushback, and ends as soon as the door is re-opened upon arrival. The door mechanism is actually connected to a computer which records the time. Even if you happen to sit on the runway for 2 hours due to weather or traffic congestion you are still accumulating "flight hours" because the door is closed.

A. No where in the flight plan does it directly indicate which approach you will/may/prefer to use.You file to a destination. But your flight plan can have some subtle or not-so-subtle hints on which approach you would prefer. Your equipment code for example.../G is a CLUE.,Your enroute altitude matching the altitude at which you must cross the IAF. Smart(IMHO) pilots file to an IAF then to the airport.(Think lost comms)The IAF also clues in a controller which approach you MIGHT want to use.

What's the best flight school to go to out of Flight Safety, Delta Connection, and ATP?
Q. I'm planning to go to flight school within the next few months. I have narrowed my search to these three schools and would like to know what anyone has to say about them. I'm not sure if I want to fly commercial or corporate after school. I would like to know what will be best for the money and preparation for the future. Thanks.

A. Stay away from Delta Connection. Although they may have quality training, for some reason the airline pilot community has very little respect for people from this school. There are a lot of stupid reasons for this, but it is a reality. By not going there you will save yourself some aggravation later on if you decide on an airline career. I have done some simulator training at Flight Safety. It is a quality flight school and is well respected in the industry. I have friends who have trained at ATP and said they liked the training and the experience that they got there. They are working for various airlines, so it seems to be a good school as well. If it were me, I would go with Flight Safety, but I'd have to do some more research… [cont.]
