How many hours flying did you have ? We didn't have (or need) 'ground schools'. You picked up the theory as you trained and flew. |

* Somewhere between 50 and 60. *During my training I had a bit of diffculty with tropical weather, aircraft having proper insurance, and terrorist attacks shutting down the airspace system that extended my time several hours longer than it should have been. I fooled round and didn't do my PPL until I had over 70 hours. At the time 40 hours was the lowest time permitted |

ESP undenieably saved thousands of lifes, and the conceived systems for airplanes could possibly do the same. ESP is nonexistent in most cars (maybe BMW or someone like that is implementing it), so how can it be saving thousands of lives? Just like in cars electronic systems can also outperform humans in airplanes when it comes to tasks involving very rapid an precise reactions. And just as in cars, digital systems have catastrophic modes of failure when confronted with situations that were not foreseen and programmed for during the design of the systems. There is really not much point in arguing about stability systems taking away authority from the pilot. Why not? It has been hotly debated for decades, and there is still no consensus on it. Remember how pilots first detested the stall prevention systems implemented by airbus? Some pilots still detest the systems on Airbus. In any case, small aircraft don't have stall prevention systems, as a general rule. Not one case has been proven, where a system override over the pilots stick input has been to the worse and caused an undesireable result. Not one case has been proven where a system override prevented a crash. And just like ESP on a car I would imagine that the stability augmentation systems in airplanes could be disabled if you intendedly want to push the envelope of your plane and know what you are doing. I prefer a system that needs to enabled explicitly to a system that needs to be disabled explicitly (and I don't even want to think about a system that cannot be disabled). |

Book knowledge tells you wat to do to avoid it and how to get out of it but doesn't allow you to experience it first hand. So? Mx has absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE of what it takes to fly a real plane with his ZERO PIC time and only MSFS time. *ZERO, NADA. *MSFS and real world flying don't compare as he wants his readership to believe. What are your total hours flying, just out of curiosity? Asking for experience, flying hours, qualifications etc are a total waste of bandwidth on Usenet. The person being challenged could be a trained Chimp with a keyboard or the King of Siam. They could also be quite legitimate. The ONLY accurate measure of value on any Usenet forum is the accuracy of the information posted proven over time. Posters are usually found to be who they claim to be or not who they claim to be over time and posting history based on the above. My most interesting Usenet experience occurred when someone accused me of NOT being Dudley Henriques as he knew Dudley Henriques and I wasn't him. My wife promptly answered his private email to me stating that if he knew the real Dudley Henriques, would he be kind enough to ask him to come home immediately as the impostor she had been living with for over 40 years didn't like to do yard work.

It has been around since at least '87 and has been implemented by about every car maker out there world wide. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
