  1. Few can afford to pay for all of the training that the airlines require. Most have to go in the military and fly first. The whole system needs a complete overhaul.

  2. What he is talking about is making your senior year less expensive. But this doesn’t nothing to reduce the cost of your freshman, junior, and sophomore years!

  3. “They’re incredibly expensive” is not a good reason to lower the quality of training for aircraft pilots. “They’re incredibly expensive” is really not a good excuse to cheapen anything in aviation such as aircraft replacement parts.
    Current motion simulators are expensive for many reasons. The cockpit you sit in while training is often built by the aircraft manufacturer. The data of motion is taken by test pilots and telemetry data devices in development programs and then sold to,the training companies. The simulator companies then take these “G” curves and make the simulator “feel” like the real aircraft as much as possible. It is a long process and has to start coincident to aircraft release so as to have pilots ready to go.
    Professional pilot training already incorporates training devices that help with cockpit familiarization before the trainee climbs into the motion simulator. It goes by various names according to training companies, but no days is comprised of touch screens that look like the control panels in the aircraft. This allows the trainees to familiarize themselves with the cockpit layout and complete checklists that will be used daily in the cockpit.
    Hopefully this man’s new course will not become the primary means of professional pilot training. In a motion simulator, the human body learns what the controls feel like during maneuvers in a really aircraft. All of the stick/peddle forces are replicated. Yaw, pitch and roll rates are replicated and will be learned by the trainee. The cockpit switches, dials and levers all are the same as in the real aircraft. The cockpit lighting is the same. It is a complicated machine designed to train the human unit to learn the aircraft before he jumps in and flies passengers.
    It’s an amazing experience to go to for motion-based pilot simulator training and then once completed go hop in the real airplane and be so familiar with it. Playing a video game just won’t do it.

  4. Is there a special pronoun for pilots? If not, is there a special huggy doll that pilots can use?

  5. Boeing 737 has this anti Stall software that takes over the flying when conditions are a second away from a stall but many Airlines give too short a course of getting out of a stall I Pray these New Pilots HEED

  6. Aren't there similar, simplistic version of video games in play stations n arcades?

  7. My daughter misses flying with her Dad and misses the instructor. That would be a good investment for states.

  8. All thanks to👆for coming through, I have lost a lot trading by myself until I was referred to Mr Kris, I now make $18k out of my $7k investment every 10 days and withdrawal has been smooth and easy.

  9. Um that's nice but when the GPS in autos isnt worth crap what the hell is going to happen UP THERE when their computer guidance is schift and they cant depend on that???? All this does is change what the old problems look like now.

  10. There's no pilot shortage …… especially now that pilots are hired on the basis of skin color and gender. The bar has been lowered!!!!

  11. One pilot up front is next.

  12. i got an idea, let lots of people cross the boarder to work menial jobs, get free college to educate then train more pilots

  13. New pilots that are trained in the private sector pay upwards of 100k to receive a job paying less than 30k. It’s not economical

  14. Well if they didn't fire every pilot that didn't get the poison shot,they wouldn't have this problem!

  15. With the military's move to UAVs, there are fewer pilots coming out of the military that can fly an airliner.

  16. Commercial flying is a ghastly experience. Not likely to improve. Too bad we don’t have bullet trains.

  17. 👆 – FIND YOUR LOVE IN YOU CITY! 💥👩x✅

  18. If you want to fly. Get into real f ing plane!

  19. If they have computer planes train you. Why can’t they have computers it self fly you without a pilot?
