By Jordan Bullock CFI, FO B737 Most people think that altitude is simply your plane's height above the ground. Most people aren't pilots , though. Pilots know that weather has an intense impact on flying. This includes our altitude! In aviation, altitude isn’t a simple blanket term to be thrown over our height above the ground. It can mean an abundance of different things.

Dear Pilot, While it is excellent that you communicate with company when you have in flight issues, please note that you have a commercial licence and something like 2000 hours of experience. Consider the fact that Captain Sullenberger and crew do not have any photographs of their landing in the Hudson River, and did not text their dispatcher for help.

A Germanwings Airbus A320 Photo Credit: SEBASTIEN MORTIER ( [link] ) Do pilots have to undergo any sort of mental check before flying? Yes, long before proceeding to fly any commercial planes, pilots indeed undergo mental health checks. A study of 809 Brazilian pilots generally revealed that between 6.7% and 12% had a common mental disorder. Just like in any other industry, airlines are aware of this issue and had in fact implemented pre-selection personality tests on all aspiring pilots.
