mcmonsterkitty (01/07/2016) [-] I had a feeling that **** weren't no cake walk. Everybody always giving pilots hard times for rough landings, like "bitch, you lucky I didn't suplex our asses into the asphalt"

captainprincess (01/07/2016) [-] every flight I've been on bumpy landings get applause
like
"HOORAY WERE STILL ALIVE"

Its true the few times I fly the passanges are like 90% white

haroldsaxon (01/08/2016) [-] Most of my flights are 100% white, couldn't imagine a scenario where anyone would clap for a landing.

mcmonsterkitty (01/07/2016) [-] Yeah, but even that's a level of degrading for pilots. Like you people had so little faith in the pilot that its an applausable surprise that you landed safely.

captainprincess (01/07/2016) [-] It's not a faith or lackthereof thing
it's gratitude for what felt like a tense moment passing by harmlessly
or atleast thats how I understand it, given that Im afraid of flying

I want to say this is not real by just looking at those head phones. the FAA would not allow pilots to wear those as they have to be in constant communications with ATC services at all times.

mcmonsterkitty (01/08/2016) [-] Earbuds come with built in mic nowadays, so they'd be able to communicate . I'd assume some airlines would allow them, especially since they're probably more comfortable than the bulky assed ones they're issued.

its more then that. they dont cancel noise as well, they wont pick up the pilots voice as well and, the outlet for the headset in planes and atc facilities are different from what is sold to be used with phones and computers.
also the cockpit is to dark. every instrument, button, switch, and label, is lit up in a plane or has a light near it so it can be easily visible. maybe the camera from there is not picking it up well but i doubt that.
and finally the turbulence you would get coming into the airport is more vertical and the active runway is the one most aligned to face into the wind. it is bumpy when you take off and land due to the uneven heating of the surface of the earth causing slight pressure differences if i remember correctly.

"thanks you for letting me be flung through the sky safely"

I noticed the headphones, must be listening to this.

The controls look mushy as hell. Guess that's what flying a multi-ton aircraft does.

undeadmaus (01/07/2016) [-] Well you basically just have to counter the movements of the aircraft so that it remains stable. During landing you are moving downwards so the plane has a tendency to nose down and there's all the air and stuff so as you can see if he moves the yoke to go up as soon as the aircraft actually starts to go up he starts trying to point it down.

Can they vary the amount of response they get from the controls for different stages of flight? It makes sense they would want less response in those conditions, as you say.

novus (01/07/2016) [-] You know, I actually can't remember if they have dynamic controls based on their phase of flight. I know smaller planes do not. GPS approaches do get more sensitive the closer you get to an airport, but that's more about navigation precision than controls.
If the controls aren't dynamic, it may just be that they are purposely less sensitive in bigger planes, just like how bus steering wheels are gigantic compared to a car. You don't want small movements resulting in big changes.

voidnemesis (01/08/2016) [-] I'm pretty sure you can change the sensitivity of the flight controller if you're in a plane with fly-by-wire. I have no idea about pure hydraulics though.

TheHutchie (01/07/2016) [-] I'd imagine they're trained to get used to it and make larger movements for small directional adjustments all the time. After all, a plane that size is hardly something you'd ever want to move in one swift motion anyway.

Judging by the headphones he is wearing my best guess is he is probably just listening to some bumping tunes and had to do a little dance.
