Aircraft spotting or plane spotting is the observation and logging registration numbers of aircraft: gliders, powered aircraft, balloons, airships, helicopters, and microlights. When spotting aircraft observers notice the key attributes of an aircraft. They may notice a distinctive noise from its engine or the number of vapour trails it is leaving. They will assess the size of the aircraft and the number, type and position of its engines. Another clue is the position of wings relative to the fuselage and the degree to which they are swept rearwards. Are the wings above the fuselage, below it, or fixed at midpoint, perhaps it is a biplane or triplane. The position of the tailplane relative to the fin(s) and the shape of the fin are also clues to its type. If it is an antique or light aircraft it might have a tail wheel. Some aircraft types have a fixed undercarriage while others have retractable wheels. Other features include the speed, cockpit placement, colour scheme or special equipment that changes the silhouette of the aircraft. Taken together these clues will enable the identification of an aircraft. If the observer is familiar with the airfield being used by the aircraft and its normal traffic patterns, he or she is more likely to leap quickly to a decision about the aircraft's identity - they may have seen the same type of aircraft from the same angle many times.

Q. This a view from the cockpit of Airbus A340-500. now the question is how far back the marshaller has to stand from the aircraft in order for the pilot to see him from head to toe. in other words how far in front of the aircraft is the blind spot for the pilot and he can not see? Asked by behnood_beh2001 - Thu Jan 7 23:55:49 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. if you cant see him, he cant see you, and vice versa. just walk back until you can see him, and take a few more paces back for him to see your whole body if need be. bear in mind, your hands will do the communicating, and they will be above your head, so bear in mind, if he can see your face, he will sure enough see your arms. Answered by Abhi - Fri Jan 8 09:34:32 2010 Do planes or other aircraft generaly have any orange lights? Q. Yes I seen some orange lights in the sky. ^^ I saw a orange light shoot up from the gorund about 40 miles away with comet like tracers behind it. It hovered or flew around for 2 hours. Occasionaly another orange dot would appear next to it then disapear. Iv seen this before, in that same spot. But I never seen one of those orange lights shoot up from the ground like that. Iv never seen orange lights in the sky anywhere else or maybe i just dont pay attention. My friend I was with said he thinks it was a flare, but hes the scared type lol. A flare cant stay up that long. And there isnt a military base within a 100 miles. Just wanted to add that. Ill add the distance is a guess. If it was closer I would have drove over there.

There are also anti-collision strobes top and bottom of the aircraft. It would be interesting to know WHERE you are and where the lights are coming from... this might explain things. JUST curious... 40 miles is an incredible distance to see something from... Answered by mariner31 - Tue Nov 13 11:18:46 2007 I just got offered a job as an aircraft maintenance apprentice. Need Help!!?
Q. I am an apprentice who has almost got his liscence as of june 2008. (M2 to be exact) the company I currently work for hasn't really been the place I wanted to work at so I applied to another company in Toronto. They called me back the next day after I applied, so I went for an interview and they gave me the job on the spot and offered to match my wages I currently make. The question that I am asking is that, do you think I will still be able to get my license if I move to a better company that offers line maintenance all the time as opposed to heavy overhaul which I currently work on? ...thanks for your help Asked by Shaun - Tue Feb 26 00:11:17 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Get your licence first and if your next employer is keen to have you, he will wait. Just sit back and reflect on this scene that if you are in the shoes of the future boss. Questions to ask yourself; can I trust this employee who do not complete what he has committed... Look! he did not even bother to finish his apprenticeship which is to end in June 2008... just a few months.. the assessment is that he may not go all out to complete important tasks assign to him... Leave with a good impression and who knows, you could land back into the company again.. This industry is very specialised and limited..
