    A day as a pilot

    Actually I want to get my pilots licence as a hobby. I do not want to go into comercial piloting. Probably I would not pass my medical. I want to work for a big aerospace company. I also want to study management further down the road!

    I do want to get my pilots licence in two years. Do you know a good place to go? I am planning on going to either Florida Tech or Embry Riddle! What you think of those schools?

    I got pretty involved. MTU plays a big role with the A380 Trent 900 engines.

    A day as a pilot

    I am a european, so I stick with airbus! But I don't say that Boeing is bad. I love the tripple seven myself. Oustanding plane!! Right now they have big issues. But if you look back and research it. Boeing also had its troubles with its 747 when it came out but not so many as the A380...

    Dont you enter your altitude, speed before? I understand that once you are in the air the tower tells you your heading. Once you take-off you then engage your autopilot.

    A day as a pilot

    Ok thanks. Maybe I feel more inclined to Airbus because I have been very involved in the A380!!! By the way the i knew that the APU is a smaller engine. I did my internship at MTU Aeroengines Maintanence in Ludwigsfeld, Berlin, Germany.

    A day as a pilot

    I know the engines get started with help of the APU. I just though that the light, air conditioning and etc is run via the APU or is it run via a generator outside the aircraft???

    A day as a pilot

    Thanks! When the pilot gets on the aircraft is the APU already running or do they have to start it? When the pilots get on they have to enter the flight information into the navigation system and set the autopilot? Is this correcto?

    With the hydraulic system you maybe FEEL your plane better. But another thing not to forget is the cockpit layout in the airbus. They have nice LCD panels allover. The boeing has more old fashioned stuff!!

    Well I mean more like a boeing, because they do not have fly by wire. They are still old fashioned.

    I am still saving my miles and more miles to get into a real flight simulator in Frankfurt. I still have some time to get those miles. Until then I have to stick to Flight Simulator 9 for the computer.

    That helped me a lot. I by the way love the 777 300ER nice big enignes! Very powerful!! Are Airbus planes easier to fly than Boeing planes because they have fly by wire? Does that make it easier for the pilots?
