TRANSITIONING UP
INTRO TO AIRLINE FLYING
BY CHIP WRIGHT
AN INTERESTING QUESTION WAS POSED
to me recently regarding the difficulty of
transitioning from the general aviation
world to the airlines after any kind of a
break from flying. An airline pilot who
took some time away before coming back
may experience the same difficulty.
The biggest overall challenge for a new
hire is the training. Whether it is in the
classroom, the simulator, or on a procedures
trainer in between, the training is
intense and very structured. Military pilots
might be used to this, but it's still a different
environment, if for no other reason
than some of the verbiage, lingo, and newto-them
regulations.
Academically, a lot of introductory
segments have to be learned. FAR Part
121 has some significant differences from
Part 91, and each airline has its own set
of operations specifications, which are
sets of rules crafted by the FAA to cover
everything from determining an alternate
airport to figuring out which approach is
legal under what circumstances. The first
time through this stuff feels like you're
using a pogo stick in a mine field.
A typical airliner has 12 to 15 different
systems that need to be learned. Mundane
ones such as the lights or water are pretty
simple and don't garner much time and
attention. Others, such as the electric or
hydraulic systems, can take a full day or
more of lecture to introduce, let alone
learn, and they can be very complex. The
electrical system on the Embraer EMB-120
Brasilia is relatively straightforward until
something called " auto-transfer " occurred,
which was mind-bogglingly confusing for
most of the time I flew it. The propeller
on that airplane wasn't much easier-to
this day, the term " metered oil " drains the
blood from my face.
In addition to the basics of each system
is the requirement to learn various
limitations and memory item procedures
associated with each one while also understanding
how certain systems interact with
one another. On almost any turbine airplane,
the fire extinguishing system can be
used to affect the electric, hydraulic, pneumatic,
and fuel systems simultaneously.
Some interactions between systems won't
truly make sense until you see the various
