I've been flying ILS approach using the B744 for most airports in both Autoland and manual mode. And also VORDME approach sometimes. Glideslope is pretty straight forward. But for VORDME, the question is after FAF am I suppose to fly to MDA asap and thereafter descend to the TDZ when I meet the RVR. Or do I need to use VNAV to descend to MDA (like a glideslope descend) then to the TDZ? Most plates I saw drew a straight line from the FAF to the RWY like a glideslope and seemed to ask pilot to do a gradual descend. Another question is some plates I saw permits the circle-to-land approach but only show that on a table with the required MDA but does not show the approach path. Is there a standard procedure of turns and descend that all pilots follow. Or does it depend on individual airport requirements? Is it a gradual descend I could use VNAV to help, or is it a MDA asap then MDA and VFR until final leg? Final question, should I have Vref and 3 greens set before or after FAF (B744)?

My boss just told me that I am in charge of transporting around 300 people for a huge event we're doing later this year. I need a large plane and flight crew. My boss requested something like a Boeing 747 or something similar.

Is this possible?

This seems to defy common sense but has been in practice for as long as I know. In certain instances when the hull of the aircraft is breached without impact to the passengers inside, parachutes could be a lifesaver.

I watch these videos about jumbo jets, and they show some air disasters. and like this video for example, that plane merely hit a little bump onto the grass the the engine or whatever nearly exploded. I am surprise that more planes doesnt explode in midair if they hit a bird or eagle etc

Remember the fuss they made about Concorde? Now they are claiming they can't afford to make "costly" modifications to their airports to take the Airbus 380, yer right!
