Aircraft

I am a high school student and is deciding where to go to college. I really want to go to Embry Riddle in FL but the tuition is too much. I am thinking to go to Embry Riddle Worldwide. I want to be an airline pilot. Would that be a good place for me for my first two years of college? Thanks!

I've noticed it on some jet engines especially the A330/340, I don't think it's for fuel dumping since the fuel jettisons are located on the wings.

why is this such a mystery? I heard that they dont know what is causing them. arent the engines doing chemtrails?
and yesterday I was an airplane that didnt left any chemtrails. its because it was more low?

Is it mostly weather & traffic related?

One other question:

What is the closest that 2 inflight planes can be to one another?

Thanks,

Primo

When I used to live in the northeast, I would fly Continental Airlines from Newark to Houston on the B767....and then onto Veracruz, Mexico on the Embraer 146 (great little jet that sucker is...).

Of all the Boeing aircraft I've flown on, the 767 seems to be the only one that does not utilize thrust reverse. I also noticed that on approach, thet are very bumpy low-speed flyers.

So it's really 2 questions:

1) Why no thrust reverse on the B767
2) Are they historically not so good low-speed flyers?

I need to know if anyone here owns one, and have you done any upgrade to the front nose to protect them from flying debri?
and also, what's the top speed for this aircraft?
Thanks.

I know that a person could be sucked out because of the wind velocity, but if we remove wind velocity from the equation could a person be sucked out due to only the pressure difference?

Could you please give me evidence supporting your answer?

I work here at Orlando International Airport.....so lucky me gets to see planes landing & taking off daily.

I noticed that the MD-80s take up almost 6000 feet of runway before rotation....whereas a larger aircraft, like the B767 or even the A300-800 takes up only about 5000-5500 feet before full rotation.

Why is this? Is the MD-80 a much heavier plane then say.....a B767?

i was wondering how difficult it is to pass the written exam, and if it would be much more helpful if i took a ground school course. I have already asked my instructor but I'm looking for a second opinion.

Can you identify this aircraft? It may even be a commercial jet adapted for training use.

When you look out the window, there are little notches on the wing that stick up from the smooth wing surface. What purpose do they serve?

For example on this picture you can see nine little notches on the lighter colored part of the wing.

yeah this probably shouldnt be in airplanes, but on answers!, this is where i've seen the most knowledge, it also provides a bit of a lighter side to all that chemistry and what-not you guys deal with.

i'm going to springfield, IL for our class trip and i live in chicago. we're leavin earrrllyyyy in the mornin and i want to figure out a way to get 2 Rockstars in to a plastic bottle (cant have pop cans) without them losing carbonation in a few hours. i was thinkin just pouring it and closing the top would work good, but any advice would help.

I have taken many flights from New York to Florida mostly from Islip to Ft. Lauderdale. One of the things that I could never understand when the plane (it doesnt matter if its Southwest, Delta or Spirit Airlines) is landing at the Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood airport instead of just landing at the airport for some reason it always goes out to the everglades first and then turns around to land at the airport. You are in the air in some cases an extra 15 to 30 minutes. I understand that this might be the route but why cant the plane just go over the beach and land at the airport. Would appreciate the answer from an experienced pilot.
