Aircraft

Why would the trucks need electrical power to de-ice? They were F-450's with fire engine type pumper and cherry picker bucket. Do they spray an electrically charged solution so they attract ionically to the plane? When GRR claimed the trucks lost power during an electrical outage it seemed like BS to me. They never announce that there is a union slow down over holiday wages and fringe benefits. It is always some safety or practical reason that nobody could complain about.

I would really appreciate it if airline pilots would answer this or someone who is really into FSX. Ok first of all, what is the "Course" because I noticed that button and how is it different from the Heading. My next question deals with approaches. What is ILS and how does it work. In the GPS you can set up the approach. What is NDB (I don't know if thats right) and what are Vectors and GPS approaches. Could you also explain what VORs are? I know that is a lot of questions but that's why I came on Yahoo! Answers. Thanks.

like you have to learn or know a second language, you must be physicaly fit, ect., or even the "unsaid requirements" like you must be attractive (some jobs actually require that but of course they don't say it hence the unsaid part)

thank you!!

I was watching top gear where they drove a few cars near the path of a aeroplane and thought if they put some turbines on the grass they would get a lot of power.

Hi,
Of course everyone would have seen long streaks of smoke coming out from engines when aircrafts are flying. I would like to know why such long streaks of smoke are created when aircrafts are flying? see below link for a sample photo -

If you've worked for a certain airline for let's say, 20 years and you're a captain, would you have to start out as a F/O if you switched to another airline?

When airline pilots travel over water, they
say to each other "we have now reached our
point of no return."

But mathematically, if a commercial jet
flies 45,000 ft, it should be able to glide for
450 miles......or is it 45 miles?

how does one fly safely to Hawaii--2600 miles out?

A pushback tug is a small truck- still it can push/pull an aircraft which is much heavier than the small truck. the aircraft naturally requires a large force even for ground movement (just for its weight), while flying the high powered jet engines are used. How such a force is generated by a tug without using high power engines like those in the aircraft ? Please explain the technical aspects in brief. Address of a suitable website may please be given if available.
