Download or read book FORECAST OF AIRLINE PILOT REQUIREMENTS written by LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT INST WASHINGTON D C. and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report presents a forecast of pilot needs by the U.S. certificated route air carriers up to 1980. The forecast of active pilot employment was made in two ways: direct extrapolation of past employment trends; and estimates based on the forecast size and composition of the air carriers' aircraft fleet. Forecasts of annual pilot attrition were included to arrive at annual estimates of new pilot demand. Since the long-range trend is of primary interest, short-term variations have not been highlighted. Based on the analyses qualifications detailed in the report, the most probable level of U.S. certificated route air carrier active pilot employment will be around 44,000 in 1977. The total number of new pilot hires during the next ten years is forecast to be around 31,000.

Book excerpt: Over 66,000 airline pilot jobs exist for larger mainline and smaller regional airlines that operate over 7,000 commercial aircraft. After a decade of turmoil that curtailed growth in the industry and resulted in fewer pilots employed at airlines since 2000, recent industry forecasts indicate that the global aviation industry is poised for growth. However, stakeholders have voiced concerns that imminent retirements, fewer pilots exiting the military, and new rules increasing the number of flight hours required to become a first officer for an airline, could result in a shortage of qualified airline pilots. This report examined pilot supply and demand issues. It describes (1) what available data and forecasts reveal about the need for and potential availability of airline pilots; and (2) what actions industry and government are taking or could take to attract and retain airline pilots. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
Download or read book Meteorology For Pilots written by Mike Wickson and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2014-11-30 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new third edition of 'Meteorology for Pilots' has been modified to satisfy all aspects of the meteorological requirements necessary to be JAR compliant. It also discusses the latest data concerning global warming and its consequences, especially in relation to the El Nino effect.For aviation the study of meterology provides knowledge and awareness of the atmosphere, which is, after all, the medium within which the pilot works. A proper study of the subject will provide the basis that can enable a pilot to appreciate properly the weather forecast given to him for a flight - and indeed to forecast for himself. Technical aircraft safety is now approaching the highest standards, whilst safety affected by particular weather conditions remains a large problem.Clearly a proper study of meteorology can only assist the pilot in providing safe passage.

Download or read book WeatherWise written by John Loughmiller and published by . This book was released on 2012-05-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WeatherWise is an entertaining book focused on insuring US pilots have a better understanding of the dynamic forces that generate the various forms of weather they must cope with as an aviator. Written in a conversational style and using real world scenarios combined with seasonal knowledge, it introduces a technique known as Nowcasting - a simple way to validate a weather forecast by comparing it to the weather you're actually experiencing. WeatherWise helps you develop this skill set so you can quickly determine if a forecast has been blown. (And early-on, when the forecast is first coming unraveled, is the very best time to go to plan "B" rather than waiting until things have deteriorated to the point where your options are limited or non-existent.)WeatherWise teaches you how to predict when conditions are right for severe thunderstorms and Tornados and provides suggestions on how to deal with them. And it provides guidance on identifying those times when discretion is the better part of valor. It shows you how winter storms are made, what the ingredients are for severe convective weather, and how to spot weather dangers early in the process before they become life-threatening. Finally, WeatherWise reveals three sources of detailed information that supplement the FAA mandated Standard Weather Briefing (which is legally required, but woefully inadequate to help you really understand the atmospheric dynamics that are present or forecast to occur). These National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) sources are free and also tailor made for aviator use. It's almost like having your own private aviation weather provider working to help you safely complete your flight. If you want a non-mathematical, entertaining approach to understanding the weather, coupled with real world tips on the common - and not so common - weather challenges a pilot faces, you should consider this book.
Download or read book A Methodology for Forecasting Voluntary Retention Rates for Air Force Pilots written by and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to develop a model that more accurately forecasts voluntary retention rates in the short term for Air Force pilots. Specifically, the model consists of appropriate and available predictors used to compute one year ahead forecasts of voluntary retention rates for Air Force pilots with seven through eleven years of service. The types of predictors collected for study were indicators of the strength of the economy, indicators of the growth of the airline industry, and indicators of the relative wage difference between the military and the civilian labor force. Classical regression analysis was used to predict the pilot retention rates on the basis of the predictor variables studied. A logarithmic transform of the dependent variable was used to stabilize the variance of the the error terms. The criteria established for selecting the best model were model performance, prediction potential, and explanatory significance. The best model included the following independent variables: indicator variables for the year of service groups, a variable for the annual number of new airline pilot hires, the unemployment rate lagged one year, and a pay compensation measure lagged one year. Thus, estimates were required only for the airline hires predictor in order to forecast pilot retention rates. Validation tests were performed on the best model for years 1986 and 1987. In each test, the 90 percent prediction intervals covered the actual pilot retention rate for each year of service group. Among the recommendations provided to improve the accuracy of the pilot retention rate forecasts was to improve the accuracy of the airline hire forecasts and to find other significant, leading indicators of pilot retention.

Download or read book Skyfaring written by Mark Vanhoenacker and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poetic and nuanced exploration of the human experience of flight that reminds us of the full imaginative weight of our most ordinary journeys—and reawakens our capacity to be amazed. The twenty-first century has relegated airplane flight—a once remarkable feat of human ingenuity—to the realm of the mundane. Mark Vanhoenacker, a 747 pilot who left academia and a career in the business world to pursue his childhood dream of flight, asks us to reimagine what we—both as pilots and as passengers—are actually doing when we enter the world between departure and discovery. In a seamless fusion of history, politics, geography, meteorology, ecology, family, and physics, Vanhoenacker vaults across geographical and cultural boundaries; above mountains, oceans, and deserts; through snow, wind, and rain, renewing a simultaneously humbling and almost superhuman activity that affords us unparalleled perspectives on the planet we inhabit and the communities we form.
