Flight is the process by which an object moves either through the air, or movement beyond earth's atmosphere (as in the case of spaceflight), by generating lift, propulsive thrust or aerostatically using buoyancy, or by simple ballistic movement. TypesFrom Wikipedia under the

Q. In commercial aircraft that are equipped with a Flight Management Computer (FMC) are flight guidance inputs transferred to the auto-pilot? I have also seen a similar instrument reffered to as a MCDU (Management Control Disply Unit) and it occupies the same space on the control pedestal as the FMC. I know that these instruments provide and calculate information on ETA's fuel management, flight planning etc. But does it actually provide command to the autopilot? And if so, can an entire course be planned and be used to command the AP? How does the Pilot know when various waypoints have been reached or other criteria have been met? I may have confused the FMC and MCDU. Asked by checkmate444 - Tue Dec 26 17:55:02 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. The FMC (also called FMS - Flight Management System in some installations) is generally a remotely mounted computer, located in the avionics bay along with the radio receiver/transmitter units, TCAS, EGPWS, etc. The MCDU is the actual display screen and keyboard that you see in the flight deck. It's just a "dumb" control panel for the FMC. The radios work the same way; controllers/displays in the flight deck, actual radios in the avionics bay. The FMC sends guidance commands to the flight director, which drives the autopilot. Pilots monitor progress by viewing information displayed on the multi-function display (MFD). It's usually set to display a moving map that can be configured to show flight plan waypoints, high or low navigation… [cont.] Answered by John - Wed Dec 27 20:44:41 2006 Is There A Direct Relation Between Flight Departure Times and How Crowded Airports Are? Q. Is there a direct relation between flight departure time and how crowded an airport is? Like, if your flight leaves early in the morning, the airport will be less crowded, right? So does anybody have any statistics on the effect flight departure time has on how crowded an airport is? Thanks! Asked by Moi - Mon Nov 19 17:21:50 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Depending on where the airport is located, sometimes airlines schedule all the flights to depart at a certain time and arrive around a certain time. Here in Cincinnati, many Delta flights leave between 9:00 am - 10:00 am. Then during the airport is pretty quiet with planes landing around 10:30 - 11:30 so they will all depart again around noon or 1:00 pm. But some airports are almost always busy such as Chicago or Atlanta because there are so many flights operating out of those airports there are people waiting for their connecting flight. So to answer your question, the airport will be more crowded if there is a number of flights departing at a particular time. No statistics to report but what I wrote is based on my experience. Answered by potatochip - Tue Nov 20 16:17:21 2007 Flight school financial aid or loan repayment?
Q. Does anyone know if any of the regional or major commercial airlines have loan repayment programs for pilots? I have a strong interest in flying and I'm looking for help in financing flight school, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking to go to ATP's flight school. Would FAFSA help with flight school? I'd love to hear from some pilots who have dealt with this before, however like I said ANY advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Check out the Aircraft Owner's and Pilot's Association website for information on credit lines up to $25,000 for pilot training. Answered by Marko - Wed Mar 19 20:58:11 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "flight" Aviation refers to flying using aircraft, machines designed by humans for atmospheric flight. More generally, the term also describes the activities, industries, and regulatory bodies associated with aircraft. Unsourced
