    So your telling me that they would take the power to 107% N1?

    Well that depends on the aircraft type, 107% N1 isn’t a standard full thrust figure! Full thrust varies with airfield elevation and temperature. And they utilise full thrust when they can’t de-rate for a specific reason, temperature, weight, runway length, clearance obstacles on the departure route etc. And also most airline crew use full thrust once a week to confirm that full (rated) thrust is achievable on a specific aircraft in the fleet.

    I’m just saying that is massive generalisation that they NEVER use full thrust. It simply isn’t true. They use it (perhaps not often), but they do use it when required or for purposes explained above.

    And Tommy, they NEVER use full power on takeoffs, always a derated takeoff, or the engine would need replacing all the time

    This isn’t true. They only will de-rate if they can performance wise, depends on the aircraft type too. Generally the crew uses full thrust once a week to confirm that full (rated) thrust is achievable on a specific aircraft in the fleet. There are a whole host of reasons why they use full thrust in specific conditions also.

    But, generally, yes they do normally de-rate in line operations.

    A330-200,

    You will board a nice easyJet plane, then you will hear the engines go louder and louder. You will takeoff into the blue skies and then you will level out. You will then go back down again and land on a runway.

    Then afterwards you’ll hopefully go back to school and learn some English. Your grammar is a disgrace. Why should anybody help you? You don’t give any thanks to people, you don’t even understand anything that is being said to you. I think you need to come back in a few years time, your clearly annoying and spoiling this forum for a lot of people.

    I have it down as this also –

    EGGP WAL 2T/2V UL10 BEL EGAA

    Quite often though they get vectored into EGAA without getting direct to the BEL. So it’s basically atc vectors all the way.

    Super duper. Can’t wait for my own B757 ride on Sat! I’ll be getting the same view of the Alps too. πŸ˜€

    Because they are replacing the 737-500’s. 733’s are well proven to work for low cost operators despite their age.

    That’s very true, I think bmibaby must have a bad batch though πŸ˜‰ – they have terrible problems from Manch with them!

    Thanks for the comment Flex 35.

    No problem mate.

    As I said quite a way back in this thread many UK airlines (both the locos and the charters) are taking a hell of a lot of foreign guys now – from Eastern Europe etc. As the demand for pilots at the moment is as big as it has been for some time, so airlines are consequently taking on these guys. So the demand is definitely there at least, whether it will be like that in years to come is another thing.

    It is expensive for the training, but there is always a way there. Again like you said the RAF route is an option perhaps, maybe especially for you as it seems you into it.

    Just concentrate on getting the best grades you can and keep doing the stuff your doing and you’ll probably get there in the end.

    ok ill look for another job withg more momney

    Like people on this thread have already hinted at (including me), your obviously not mature enough yet to discuss this seriously. Proves it with that comment right there, we’ll actually have a better discussion if you don’t participate in it.

    Now, back to sanity.

    NCLRULES,

    You sound like ideal material for a potential sponsorship. People like you are exactly what they look for in terms of you do every thing you can possibly do when it comes to after school clubs, teamwork, community work etc and not nessacarely know a great deal about the flying side of things.

    Although for me all the stuff you mentioned, defiantly isn’t my thing. I tried the Air Training Corps a few years back and quite frankly the place I was in my opinion was full of tossers – management etc and the general people it attracts. This seems to be quite the case in many of them in the UK ive heard.

    Personally, I think you have an advantage straight away if you start your PPL, because then your starting the “flying” side of things. But I guess that’s more beneficial if your going the self improver route which is a great hog of a cash.

    There really are too many ways of doing it, it isn’t a lost cause to get there and you don’t need to be doing all the things under the sun (with regards to community work) to get there also.

    Best plan is to do well at school, do your a-levels in a wide range of subjects and take it from there. Or if your rich, that’s fine too, hand over Β£60K and the schools won’t turn you down! πŸ˜‰

    This is getting very very frustrating to say the least.

    Listen to what people have said on this thread, OK. Do well at school (if that is possible), smarten your grammar and spelling and see what grades you get.

    Crap grades=no aviation job

    Also helps if your mum or dad is earning Β£100K plus a year to help pay for your fees.
