Coming here feels like walking into lecture room to that favorite lecturer. Thanks. Another masterclass From the best.

[@CallsignBookworm]

Wow, thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated.

[@ericssonLR]

I'll try ''point and Call' safety technique in my relationships. Seems a good one to minimize potential tragedy🙈

[@CallsignBookworm]

It works and it reduces errors significantly. Thank you for staying tuned. Much appreciated.

[@susanmuraguri8564]

Thank the gods for 'Point and Call'!......now kitu sijaelewa kabisa ni ati - Is it a machine repeating what you've set in terms of altitude and what you've been directed ama ni Captain ndio anaisema out loud then you confirm?......thanks for being such a great tutor and looking forward to your next videos......🙂

[@CallsignBookworm]

Thank you for your question. Air traffic control directs a given crew to a given set of instructions that are readback to ATC and implemented by the crew. Whoever is the pilot flying, sets the altitude and/or speed, points and calls what is set. The other pilot then verifies what is set. I hope nimejibu swali. If not, clarify as well. Asante.

[@CallsignBookworm]

Thank you. Much appreciated ♥️♥️

[@alexk_4531]

good work here. two questions: 1. how do planes with no radar avoid collisions? 2. is morse code a 'must know' for all pilots?

[@CallsignBookworm]

Aircraft without the traffic collusion and avoidance system(TCAS) rely on air traffic control, visual look outs, radio communication, right of way rules and flight planning to avoid traffic. As for morse code, you need to know the basics and decode as appropriate. No need to cram all the letters except, S and O. S ... O --- Just in case you need to send or decode an SOS (help). Thank you for your question. Much appreciated.

[@iam_Bama]

Well Done sir!

[@CallsignBookworm]

Thank you Sir. Much appreciated.

[@iam_Bama]

@@CallsignBookworm I have a question for you if you permit me to ask. Where I reside happens to be along the flight path to (15km to the airport) sometimes i hear airplanes sound like a huge truck stepping on its break with bad break pad/disc having a grinding sound. My question is what causes that sound while flying?

[@CallsignBookworm]

While flying, the cabin is normally quite silent designed to about 60 decibels that's similar to normal conversation. We dont really hear any loud sounds but I presume the screeching sound intensity and position is caused be the air density, temperature, compression of the exhaust air from the engines.

[@iam_Bama]

@@CallsignBookworm Thats interesting to know. I make fun of it sometimes that the plane is drifting and stepping on the breaks and hand break. I wouldn't have thought about this. Lol thank you very much

[@CallsignBookworm]

You are welcome. Thank you as well

[@magicmedia7950]

How often do Missed approaches happen at the jkia if at all and mostly why?

[@CallsignBookworm]

Rarely. I've done only one go around into JKIA in a span of 10 years due ILS failure while in IMC.

[@_denzy_6310]

A great landing. I didn't expect autopilot to be disengaged at 1000ft. In Xplane I do it at 500ft lol

[@CallsignBookworm]

Thank you Denzy. The minimum autopilot disengagement height is 50ft. You can disengage at any altitude above 50ft on final approach 🙏🏾

[@_denzy_6310]

​​@@CallsignBookwormawesome. I find the winds in Xplane very strong even 5kts veers my plane to the side idk why 😂 when I use rudder I tend to over correct and have to do missed approach. This is like 10x more harder when flying the zibo mod 😅 so 50ft is just good to hear

[@that_bloke_kiri]

is the pilot full name Stanley Kimani? cause thats what my kenyan mind to when i saw call sign, stankim.

[@CallsignBookworm]

Nope. By his accent, he is not a Kimani lol

[@magicmedia7950]

What category is JkIA airport runway as in cat 1,cat 2 etc?

[@CallsignBookworm]

It's Cat I. Thank you for your question. Much appreciated.

[@Vico649]

Please show us how the trim in B737 works. I have always wondered. Is it Auto or manual?

[@CallsignBookworm]

Cool. I'll showcase it soon. Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@GanymedeAxis]

@@CallsignBookworm Just curious, between Boeing and Airbus which one do you pilots enjoy flying more ? And when Boeing returns the 737 Max would you guys feel confident enough to fly it without having to worry about its past ?

[@CallsignBookworm]

@AMGW11 I havent flown the Airbus hence I am not in a position to give a factual answer. As for the Max, I'd confidently fly it more so because it has gone through rigorous vetting and has been certified to safely fly. Thank you for your great question. Much appreciated.

[@GanymedeAxis]

@@CallsignBookworm Thank you for your reply. Now my last question to quench my curiosity; Have you ever seen anything out of the ordinary above the clouds ? I mean UFOs, whether during the day or at ungodly hours. Because recently Biden was forced to finally come out and address this issue. It's spooky and eerie up there I doubt nothing at all happens beyond the earth's atmosphere.

[@JosephKambo-cv5de]

Hello..sir how many years of flight school does it take to be an airline pilot??.. please

[@CallsignBookworm]

Hello For you to become an airline pilot, you require a CPL and 250hrs. It takes approximately 1.5 years to achieve the above requirements. There could be other factors limiting entry. Thank you for your question. Much appreciated.

[@mbogoalex7493]

When landing, do you look at the windscreen or at the computer screens?

[@mbogoalex7493]

Also when steering,

[@mbogoalex7493]

Also I watched a video of Captain Paul Mwangi flying to Amsterdam. The video is long and there is a time the pilots were talking with the cameraman in the cockpit. I noticed that there were too many radio calls but no one seemed to pay attention. The captain was talking with the cameraman while multiple radio calls from multiple people were being made. Also it did not seem like the first officer was listening to the calls. How do you determine the radio call to listen to? Also is it true that pilots in one plane can talk with pilots in another plane and does it happen?

[@CallsignBookworm]

Thank you for your great question. When landing we look outside and inside if we have the runway insight. If no contact, the pilot flying focusses on flying while looking at the screens while the pilot monitoring, looks outside. Thank you and much appreciated.

[@CallsignBookworm]

We always keep a listening watch on a given radio frequency and with time your brain adapts to the point where you can have a convo and still listen in on radio transmissions. About talking to other pilots in another plane, yes you can. You just elect a give unique frequency, tune and transmit.
