Sharing an Opinion According to investigators, some aircraft accidents and incidents were caused by pilot error due to stress. These findings are opposed by some groups who believe that pilot stress is either a myth or would not have a significant effect on pilot’s performance. In your opinion is there such a thing as pilot stress? Airline passengers are always asking whether a particular airline is safe or not. Are some airlines safer than others? Do you think a female pilot can perform as well as a male pilot? Why or why not? Do you think it is advisable for pilots to read reports about aircraft accidents? Why or why not? Do you think it would be better for the passengers aboard an airplane if flight attendants possessed medical or nursing degrees? Why or why not? Do you think it would be fair for airlines to implement a policy to hire only pilots who are non-smokers? Why or why not? Experts say that old airplanes are as safe as new ones. If this is the case, why do you think airline companies like to replace old airplanes with new models? Good health is required for a pilot to maintain his/her license. What do you do to keep stay healthy? How important is teamwork between flight crews? I have a friend who wants to take up a career in flying. He is 40 years old. Do you think he can still be an airline pilot? Why or why not? In your opinion, what is the most important qualification that a pilot must possess? Is it proper to inform the passengers about problems that the airplane encounters during the flight? Why or why not? It’s the policy of some airlines to prohibit the members of a flight crew from eating the same food. What do you think is the reason for this policy? Many people believe that modern equipment aboard airplanes perform many of the duties of a pilot. Some even say that the equipment makes a pilot redundant and unnecessary. What do you think? Many people think pilot is dangerous job. What do you think? Most people in the aviation industry believe that flying is the safest means of travel. Do you share the same belief? Why? Regulations and company policy require pilots to make a 360 degree inspection around the aircraft. Do you think it would be better if mechanics make this walk-around inspection? Some airline companies prohibit their employees from establishing romantic relationships with their co-workers. Do you think this policy is reasonable? Why or why not? Some airlines allow their senior pilots to remain in service until they reach their 70th birthday. Other airlines enforce compulsory retirement when their pilots turn 56 years of age. At what age do you think pilots should retire? Why? Some airlines totally prohibit their pilots from reading books or magazines while in flight, even on long haul flights. When the autopilot is engaged, what do you think is the best way for pilots to cope with boredom? Some aspiring pilots are said to have a slim chance of landing a job at some airlines because of their nationality. Do you think a pilot’s suitability can be determined by his nationality? Some companies have a policy prohibiting pilots from drinking alcoholic beverages 12 hours before a flight. Do you think 12 hours will give pilots enough time to recover? Some experts believe that twin engine airplanes are safer than four-engine airplanes. Which of the two do you think is safer? Some passengers believe that some seat locations in the airplane are safer than other locations. As a pilot, do you think there is such a safe seat location? Some pilots are expected by the company to do non-flying duties such as supervising refueling, keeping records, scheduling flights and other non-flying duties. Do you think it is appropriate to assign such duties to the pilot? Some say that choosing a career in aviation is a big gamble because the airline industry is one of the most unstable businesses. Do you think this is a fair assessment? Some states and airlines are strictly enforcing the “closed cockpit door” policy to counter unlawful interference. This means that whatever happens in the passenger cabin the flight crew should never open the cockpit door. Do you think this is an effective control suppression to hijacking? Why? The airplane has evolved into a comfortable, reliable and dependable means of travel. Some people, however, are still uncomfortable about riding in it and try to avoid doing so. Do you think their fear is unreasonable? Why? There are many requirements in order to be a pilot. Which requirement do you think is the most important? What aircraft system do you think is the most vulnerable? Why? What can be done to avoid miscommunication between air traffic controllers and pilots? What should be the primary purpose of accident investigation? Why? When flying, some passengers prefer one make or type of aircraft over others. Do you think some aircraft are safer or better than others? Why or why not? Why do you think many people regard flying as dangerous? Why is it important for pilots to have very good English skills? Would it be safer if passengers were provided with parachutes? Back to top
