New Generations of Airliners✈️🛫🛫👨✈️👩✈️ Safety in commercial flights is paramount, and pilot training is crucial. It combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills, with pilots mastering aviation theory and using simulators to handle various conditions. The FAA's 1,500-hour rule ensures adequate experience, though some argue it doesn't fully reflect large aircraft conditions. The growing presence of young pilots is due to the retirement of experienced aviators, increased air traffic, and airline incentives. Despite concerns, rigorous regulations, advanced training methods, and effective mentorship ensure that young pilots are well-prepared and safe. Young pilots start as First Officers, gaining experience under seasoned Captains. This mentorship is crucial, especially as the industry faces a shortage, needing 649,000 new pilots by 2042. Addressing this gap is vital for sustained growth and safety in aviation. #training #aviation #pilots #pilotshortage #airbus #boeing #aviationindustry #BoomerRetirements #Futureofflight #pilotretirement

Formation flying in helicopters needs pilots with specialised skills and competence. The manoeuvres needs to be carefully planned, trained and followed to the dot. I consider positioning your-self above the rotors of the leading aircraft (step-up) is a key component in helicopter formation flying, and that provides you enough room for an evasive manoeuvre and to keep the lead insight.

Aviation safety experts agree: removing pilots from the flight deck is a dangerous gamble with safety. Learn more: www.safetystartswith2.com #SafetyStartsWith2 #AviationSafety #TwoPilotsAlways #Aviation
