The thought of hundreds of thousands of pounds of steel, aluminium, plastic and fuel flying 7 to 8 miles high at a speed of 600 mph with hundreds of lives on board never ceases to amaze me. Seriously, think about that. My great granny was born in 1879. As a kid, she traveled west at about 20 miles a day on a good day. It took the family an entire summer and nearly everything they owned to travel across the country. When she passed in 1978, humans could buy a ticket for a few hundred dollars, just a few days worth of work, and travel 600 miles in one hour. Sit back, eat a questionable meal, eat a bag of peanuts and have a Diet Coke while you are hurling through the sky at a rate of 6 miles a minute. Even more amazing, we do it with an astounding safety record.

[@sonnydelight5737]

600 m.p.h. =10 miles a minute, not 6.

[@Dezso1777]

6 miles per minute = 360 miles per hour. There are 60 minutes in an hour. 6 x 60 = 360. Just saying.

[@shananagans5]

Yes, flight is probably the most impressive accomplishment ever.

[@Cissy2cute]

shananaghans5 - I feel the exact same way. It is a real miracle. I'm the same way even with cars since my mother and I (she was a widow) did not have a car in the family for at least 10 years until after my father died. My mother never drove. Did not get my license and first car until I was 24 yrs. old. Until this day, every time I get behind the wheel I still feel a tiny bit of excitement inside. And being in a plane--closest to heaven you can get. To fly like the birds and see sights that our ancestors could not imagine. A lot of people take things for granted but I guess there will always be that inquisitive little girl deep inside me.

Or worse - did his ego make him steer straight just to prove that he could...even if the only evidence was the running over of the runway centre-lights.

Take a minute and think about this Its 2020 and we still use this setup. The sheer amount of buttons, switches and toggles, not to mention instrument clusters is astounding. These pilots have to memorize every one and it takes using each and every one of them at some point to make this plan do its job correctly. Such an amazing machine and marvel of technology that's taken for granted

[@westonadams7135]

I agree it is an amazing machine and marvel of technology. It took thousands of people to develop what we have today. As far as being a pilot, you just have to memorize the sequence to perfection. Most importantly know, if your machine has any malfunction, what to do and how to do it or you're dead.. and everyone else with you. That is a huge responsibility.

[@Trialnerror]

The buttons are not the challenge, the procedures and FAA rules are. Planes are (relatively) easy to learn but the rules of the game are massive and ever changing.

[@edjohnson9989]

Take for granted? What does that even mean? What should we do?

A lot of those buttons are for emergencies like if an engine fails you can use the power of the other engines to relight it. Stuff like that.

[@Rayburn58]

My father climbed the ladder of commercial aviation history like none could today. He trained on an open cockpit biplane. He began his airline career in 1942 at age 21 as 1st officer on a DC-3 with Pennsylvania Central Airlines. Within two years he was DC-3 captain. Pennsylvania Central eventually became Capital Airlines in 1948 where he captained the DC-4, DC-6, L-049 Constellation, and Vickers Viscount (the first turbo-prop airliner). In 1961 Capital Airlines merged with United Airlines where he went on to captain the Boeing 720, the DC-8, the Stretch DC-8, the DC-10, and finally the B-747 which flew from 1972 until his mandatory retirement at age 60 1981. He experienced the full evolution of commercial flight, airline pilot for 39 years and Captain for 37 years. No airline pilot over the last 50 years could experience the revolution and massive change of commercial flight like my father did. He just recently passed away in 2019 at age 97. He was one of the last of the old school breed of pilots.

Thrust lever is not something which need protection at that altitude in fair weather. F/o cannot just “knock off” a thrust lever on a Boeing. For Boeing even if it moves a little here and there, it will comeback. For Airbus if it moves, it will cause a ECAM and need crew intervention. But nothing significant.

Its easy..because the velocity which we experience is the relative velocity....Now as for passengers, we mainly see sideways....so that we see the buildings, towers and other aircrafts....hence there are lot of things comming in our vision which are stationary....hence we feel the speed. But for pilot...he sees mainly in front....and the front is clear...with only runway in front.

Queen of the skies! The 747 will be around a long time due to being able to load through the nose, for cargo. The 380 with that middle deck (which can't be removed) ruins it for cargo.

[@cwldoc4958]

justforever96: Nope, not even in the same league. If the bus stalls or anything else unexpected happens, you just stop it and call for assistance. On a plane, there is no such thing as a "time out." Besides, the bus is not moving at 600 mph at 30,000 feet in the dark!

Okay if evolution does exist, and you see everything in this universe has very complex designs, especially humans who have millions of working components, do you really believe an explosion caused that??? That’s like saying that a new species is created everytime a bomb is exploded and if you say the explosion is not big enough, I’m sure if we exploded the sun it would not create a creature or a new species of human. It’s like a tourist asking a New Yorker , “who designed the Empire State Building?” And the native tells the tourist “ no one, it was created by an explosion and it suddenly appeared” the tourist might as well think the native is a junkie.

[@2o4II112II26o2]

He's running over the runway centre-lights with the front gear; bad practice I would say as why subject the avionics to unnecessary high-frequency juddering and jarring and shaking; quite surprising how little mechanical empathy some people have. Or worse - did his ego make him steer straight just to prove that he could...even if the only evidence was the running over of the runway centre-lights. A few feet to either side and there'd have been no juddering at all - surely that would be much better for the long-term fatigue life of all the electrical connections, sensitive avionics and instruments in the cockpit.

[@2o4II112II26o2]

@Austrian279 Hi there - most runways as 50m wide - 2 foot to one side is as good as in the centre as it makes no difference. Ego is dangerous in the cockpit as it suggests reduced self-criticism and that prevents continual learning, so, again in the long run could become dangerous.

[@2o4II112II26o2]

@Austrian279 He was being filmed and I don't think any pilot would deliberately shake-up his instruments by running over the centrelights for no other benefit. Perhaps I'm thinking about it too much but my chief flying instructor once said ( when doing a pre-flight, where you had to check the strength of things )..he said...no, don't touch that x,y,z ( thing ) to see if it is securely fastened.....because if every pilot does that every walk-round then eventually it won't (be)... so his point was - don't induce mechanical stress that you don't really need to. Unlike for example a heavy steel ship built for the ocean...an aircraft is equisitely engineered to be 'just' strong enough ( with safety-factors, of course, but fundamentally )..so it has to be treated with a lot more care and carefulness...treated like fine china, when you have the chance.... Sooner or later something will break / shake-loose, fall-off, stop working...and why bring that date forward...that was my sort of point; but thankyou for your replies also and best wishes :-)

[@2o4II112II26o2]

The engines are amazing. Under full power and stress at take off, you very rarely hear of them failing. Goes to show how well engineered they are and maintained.

So don't screw up that checklist! Kudos to anyone who can pilot this beast.

Can you imagine what these pilots are feeling during push back and engine start. My stomach would be in knots. I just retired from a 36 year career in aerospace manufacturing. 13 of those years were with the Boeing company. I have machined and assembled literally thousands of parts for the 737,747,and 777. I also spent several years in quality assurance. I have never flown. Let me repeat that I have never flown. I have seen far too much. I guess maybe I would in an emergency and then if it were the only way. Even after all I have seen it is still one of the safest means to travel and I know I shouldn't feel that way but it is just my paranoid self I guess. Pilots are some of the most intellegent people I ever worked with. They are worth every penny they earn. It takes many hours of training and they must be certified on each aircraft they fly.
