likely to happen. when you hear that a pilot s had 43 hours of flight experience on a plane like this, never done it at this particular airport, does that raise any is 43 hours a lot? is it not a lot? it s not a lot, however, this pilot obviously has 10,000 hours or something close to it, has been a pilot on another large airplane, the boeing 747. but there was a supervisory pilot, an instructor, check pilot, next to him supervising him. i during my career was a check airman, one of the most enjoyable things i did was when we were hiring new pilots, to take them out after they had been through a month of ground school, to take them out on a airline flight with passengers in the back and supervise them and get them qualified to operate with a captain who wasn t an instructor. and to not have flown into
experience on a plane like this, never done it at this particular airport, does that raise any is 43 hours a lot? is it n a lot? it s not a lot, however, this pilot obviously has 10,000 hours or something close to it, has been a pilot on another large airplane, the boeing 747. but there was a supervisory pilot, an instructor, check pilot, next to him supervising him. i during my career was a check airman, one of the most enjoyable things i did was when we were hiring new pilots, to take them out after they had been through a month of ground school, to take them out on a airline flight with passengers in the back and supervise them and get them qualified to operate with a captain who wasn t an instructor. and to not have flown into this airport on that plane before, is that one of those data points to look at as well? how difficult is it to fly into an airport you ve never flown into?
automatic functions of the auto throttle. wouldn t you notice it in the copilot seat? the copilot was the one bringing this in. if you were the pilot in the other seat, wouldn t you think this is a little slow? well, yes. my understanding, the pilot, cap tape in the left seat was the up with in training. the pilot in the right seat is a check airman. what i have read and heard throughout the past couple of days. don t know this as a fact. but the talk about the pilot only have 43 the captain only having 43 hours on an airplane, when you start out in this training, have you no time in the airplane. you get a check ride in the simulator which gives you type rating in the aircraft and then you go out for line operating experience, which this sounds like it was, with a check airman, the pilot in the right seat. for some reason, that information escape both of them and the other two pilots that should have been in the cockpit.
