RE: Pilot: Going Commercial 2

in #africa7 years ago

Nice post...I have a question: can a plane just hang on air without moving? I asked because yesterday i was on air and the Captain announced a slight delay in landing@Zik airport Abuja, so what will he be doing if he does not get permission to land as scheduled

Really long bro. How are you doing? Hope you are coming home shortly. You are welcome.

Yeah...I miss u guys, am back now ton base

Well, it can hold technically, but holding is like moving in circles on a paritculer altitude. The pilots would hold the plane until they get permission to land. But they have a limit to which they can hold because of the fuel they have on board. In such suituation, they will land or go to alternate airport to land if they cant hold anymore.

Ohk.thanks
