The 777 has 2 engines. True or false? False. The engine has THREE engines. The APU, located in the tail of the aircraft, can provide electrical power and bleed air for various flight operations, especially on the ground.
What better way to celebrate the completion of the 737 Training and the start of 777 Training? We’ve ordered a very limited supply of T-shirts and would love to put your name in line. But, we’ve only ordered 100 shirts, so you’ll need to hurry!
Learning the background systems, i.e., what’s going on OUT of the pilots sight is important, but what about what is actually on the flight deck?
Say you’re on approach and you’re entering some icing conditions. Will ice build on the wings and compromise your lift? How much icing can the 777 take?
Flying the 777 is a matter of pulling, turning and pushing the control column, right? Wrong. These days it’s common to get Fly-by-Wire, which means electronic signals are sent to the different controls based on input.
Can you imagine what would happen if you suddenly lost all airspeed indications on your flight deck? First, you’d have no idea the limits of the aircraft based on airspeed. Are you close to stall? Overspeed?
Imagine slamming forward the throttles, and climbing like a bat out of (you know where) to climb to your cruise altitude. All seems well. But then the cabin crew reports that the passengers are blocks of ice in the -60 degree air.
Don’t think hydraulic knowledge is important? Think again. If your hydraulics go out, you’ll literally have no way of controlling the aircraft.
Have you ever seen a schematic so complex it made you want to cry? In this video preview, you’ll see just how detailed our explanations of complex schematics are.
In our training products, we don’t just go into the details of aircraft like the 777, but we also teach you basics. In this example, we show you how moisture is formed.
