Yup, nothin' like a good go around at 50 ft agl, that is, in a sufficiently powered aircraft - which I don't consider the Airbus to be. BTW, the cockpit of a commercial airliner is not exactly a state secret. You can get poster of them (I have one of the 75/767.)

i agree with nic..... if you are a bachelor then its a great job for only 4 to 5 years and eventually, you also get frustrated, the only thing which keeps you going on is passion and commitment.....

If you get married you can't take your wife with you on every flight you go, and your family suffers alot...... eventually then your family adopts the living and they damn care about you...

A pilot job is very stressful, tiring, and tedious. It brings a lot of sacrifice to the individual and his/her family!

Is is that, what you are looking for yours?

saadm80,

You are not a pilot, but a student aspiring to become one, one day.

That day is still too far as you well know, you'll need thousands of hours of experience on each step of the ladder, before you can be considered a pilot.

Now, just an advice for your own sake: be very careful when you post unauthorized pictures showing equipment and people in operation which you are not authorized to publish.

This may cost you your career.

wings of fire, in the older aircrafts like 747 classic dc10, dc8, pilots and the flight engineer had to check all the gauges, but now in the state if the art aircraft, when we come in the cockpit, we simply reset the switches on the over head panel, and if all switches are showing green light that means aircraft is ready to go, and we the checklists then, and if we see yellow light that means there is a problem in of the system.....

Qatar aeronautical college teaches flying, but it is around 500,000 QAR, job in QA....

beautynbrain, there is a computer in every aircraft which is called FMC ( Flight management computer ) we insert the flight plan in it, including the weight of the aircraft, fuel quantity. Then there is a display called naivgation display which shows you the course line, weather, other aircrafts through the a system call tcas ( Traffic collision avoidance system ) in 747 ND is in the center pedastal and in airbus 310, 318, 319, 320, 321, 330, 340 has 2 navigation display one on the captains side and one on the first officer side.....

Ghazalaz, nothing to worry about, inshallah nothing will happen....

Gloomy, you can sit in the cockpit but on the observer seat or what we call is jum seat.....

Mandiular, ya landing in 30 kts wind, and all set for landing and suddenly on the nd windshear alert comes at 500 agl, with verbal warning and as soon as we press toga thrust for go-around, that is the most, thrilling part of my flying experience.....
