Explain gimble lock to me plz that thing they show you in physics class. Sorry I have a hard time explaining a lot of things even if I understand the concept. PokemonYoutube posted... Why don't they keep parachutes inside of passenger planes so people can bail out if shit hits the fan? You'd expect the passengers to be trained in parachuting which is wholly impractical. Also, it would add a crippling amount of weight to the aircraft. HBOSS posted... how many hours can you fly until you require crew rest? is there a shortage of pilots in the industry? do you get paid well starting? when do ya make the pilot baller money? Depends. 10 hours minimum between flight duty requirements. Eight or nine consecutive hours when physically flying the jet. Third pilot required for flights over eight hours.
