Aviation quiz

[Fox Mike]

Take this and see what you know. I do find it interesting that they are predominantly speaking of commercial aviation and show the interior of a Huey in the quiz.

Missed the safest airline question.

 

[Cooperhawk]

Missed two but now I can't remember which. :roll:

I missed 3, one for me as well for the safest airline, I answered Emirates. Also the one about the last fatality, I was thinking the Air Colgan flight (2009) but forgot about the accident at SFO where there was one fatality which was actually not directly due to the crash, she was ran over by a rescue vehicle. Don't recall the other.

So full of pop-ups and auto-links I could not finish it. I have no idea where their info comes from or how dated it may be anyway, and I have no idea about foreign airline data.

Don't forget that 'altitude is your friend' and 'all the runway behind you is not useable'.

 

[Cooperhawk]

Don't lose Airspeed, Altitude, and ideas all at the same time.

Also, if they are in range, so are you!! :shock: :shock:

Not bad for guessing on a couple of them and missing up dates like age of retirement.

Too many lies; pilot error BS aside from getting to runway no pilot flies a plane or touches any control unless absolute emergency in the USA on Boing built planes.

This statement is just not true. At my airline it is mandatory that the autopilot be disconnected no lower then 1000 ft. agl. and they do not use autopilot for takeoff/departure. I fly on a regular basis sitting jumpseat in the cockpit so this is not a uninformed bit of info.. I have seen on multiple occasions where the PF (pilot flying) will handfly past 10,000 ft.. By the way, all we fly are Boeings.
