Is Singgapore Airlines A Great Way To Fly?

izit great flying wiith SQ? what's with the singapore girl thing?? what makes your flight smooth, only the service onboard? does that include the staff who check-in,board n the ground crew who prepare your meals on board and baggage staffs who make sure your bags on board, the staff who cleans the seats that you are going to spend hours on board? engineering staff who make sure the a/c is safe? how come only the crew gets the attention?

SQ was rated as the top airline for in flight services again. They consistently offer great service. The Singapore Girl is the flight attendants they used. They are hand-selected and go through a rigorous training program so that is why their service is better than most airlines. The aircraft are also very young in age and have the most up-to-date in flight entertainment systems. The airline is extremely safe. The only accident was when a Boeing 747 crashed in Taiwan during attempting take-off during a storm but that wasn't entirely the pilot's fault.

The flight crew usually gets all the attention because they offer such good service and the fact that the crew interacts the longest with the passengers. The female flight attendants also wear a very nice uniform and are extremely polite.

Flight Engineer Training: Aircraft Performance $62.89 This manual outlines required material for all phases of aircraft performance. It is a source document for the basic flight engineer course. It directs new flight engineers in learning the technical language and practical application related to flight. It furnishes the experienced flight engineers with background and review information. The aircraft performance technology presented in this manual is not limited to one specific airframe. For the most part, the technical language, performance charts, and procedures are common to all transport aircraft. There are two major factors that are responsible for the differences. These are a specific aircrafts design and the way different aircraft performance procedures to support that design. These factors may make a given performance limitation critical for one aircraft and insignificant for another. The material contained in this manual provides information relative to the duties of the flight engineer, the atmosphere, aerodynamics, power plants, weight and balance, and aircraft flight performance. It also includes guidelines for mission planning.

Flight Engineer by Bert, Adam Cornelius [Paperback] $135.42 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Flight engineers work in three types of aircraft: fixedwing (aeroplanes), rotary wing (helicopters), and space flight (ISS). As aeroplanes became even larger requiring more engines and complex systems to operate, the workload on the two pilots became excessive during certain critical parts of the flight regime, notably takeoffs and landings. Piston engines on aeroplanes required a great deal of attention throughout the flight with their multitude of gauges and indicators.

STS-128: Shuttle Discovery Docks to the ISS



What is the funniest thing you have heard in the cockpit?

Either from the crew, on the radio, pilot to co-pilot, flight engineer. etc. I have seen some very experienced pilots on this site, you all must have heard some comments/statements, directions, that would make milk spew out of your nostrils! Best answer gets two FREE economy tickets on any airline that does NOT seat two 5' 9" 350lb passengers in both the aile and window seats,of the same row, then tries to fit you in between them on a NYC to LAX direct, non-stop flight!

I've actually had milk spew out of my nostrils in the cockpit I was laughing so hard. After almost four decades as a professional pilot I've heard a bunch and most I can't even remember. But let me think.

Ah yes. I guess this qualifies as a funny in the cockpit even though it was not a real cockpit but an exact replica in an aircraft simulator. At the time I was an FAA designated pilot examiner for the Gulfstream II and III. I was in the back conducting a recurent check on a crew, pilot and copilot. The guy in the right seat had been a first officer with this particular company for quite some time. One captain after another either quit or got fired during his time there and he kept being frustrated by the boss continuously hiring another captain instead of upgrading him to the left seat and just hiring another first officer instead. After all, he had proven his loyalty far beyond the captains going through the revolving door and he felt that he was entitled. But he took it all in stride and continued to do his job as best he could. His captain on this ride was the latest to pass him by into the left seat and although he was probably bitter, it didn't show. At least not until this happened.

As I often do on a check ride where I'm evaluating both crewmembers, I "killed" the captain, meaning I told the guy in the left seat to just sit there and don't touch anything, so I could see if the first officer could get the airplane on the ground by himself as he'd have to do if the captain really had died or was incapacitated. Wouldn't be the first time that happened right? Anyway, after I "killed" the captain I said to the less than bitter but highly frustrated first officer, "OK Dave, you're on your own. Whataya gonna do now?"

Dave turned around and looked right into my eyes with what was the most stern face I'd ever seen on him and said, "The first thing I'm goint to do is get this f--king SOB out of my seat." Even the dead captain was still laughing a half hour later during the debrief.

I'm sure I'll come up with more in the middle of the night but that'll do for now.

Oh yeah. Here's another one. It was part of an answer to an earlier question about copilots.

The best pilot I've ever flown with, encluding me I must confess, was my copilot about fifteen years ago in a Falcon 50. He's been an air traffic controller in his previous career and he had the best situational awareness I've ever seen. Situational awarness is what we call staying up with all that's going on around you such as traffic, the weather, atc, checklists, etc. It can get real busy at times and some people have trouble staying "ahead of the aircraft" as we call it. We even joke about some by saying "He's so far behind the aircraft if we have an accident he won't get hurt." Not Dan though. I never saw him flustered or suprised by anything. He once told me a story about a time when he was the captain of a small commuter airplane. The aircraft did not carry enough passengers to require a flight attendant so the copilot had to do all of the passenger breifings over the passenger intercom. That right seater had just given the pre landing briefing to buckle up, tray tables up, all that stuff. It was a real bumpy approach and the passengers were nervous. While he was in the process of doing that the tower called to say that they were cleared to land but hold short of a crossing runway and advise if he can't do it. Dan rogered him and said to stand by. He pulled out the airport diagram and came to the conclusion that there would not be enough runway to stop before the intersection. By now the copilot had finnished his passenger briefing and his attention was back in the cockpit. Dan, having made his decision about the land and hold short clearance said to him, "Call the tower and tell him we're not going to make it." The copilot keyed his mike and said, "We're not going to make it." He got no response from the tower but the cabin had gone deathly quite. Turns out he'd left his transmit nob in the "Passenger Intercom" position instead of selecting "comm 1", the radio, after completing the briefing.
