Pilots are inclined to modify their environment rather than their own behaviour.

Pilots are a distinct segment of the general population. They tend to be self-suffi cient and may have diffi culties functioning in team situations. They have diffi culty trusting anyone to do the job s well as they can.

Pilots like “toys” - boats, cars, motorcycles. They are good at pulling things apart, if not putting them back together again.

Pilots are bimodal; on/off, black/white, good / bad, safe / unsafe, regulations/ non-regulations.

pilots spend approximately 360 hours a month away from their home base. When pilots are away from home, the airlines provide hotel accommodation, transportation between the ho-tel and airport, and an allowance for meals and other expenses. Most pilots have variable work schedules, working several days on, then several days off.

NAVIGATOR

A: “The navigator was replaced by technology in new designs starting about 1950. Naturally it took a few years for all the older airplanes to be replaced, but the last of them in common civilian use probably went out by 1965.”

In the old days, a fl ight crew consisted of a pilot, copilot and navigator. As far as I know, the navigator is no longer needed. A global beacon system provides guidance info and the computer on board tracks the plane and guides it to its destination.What did the navigator do? Navigate of course but did he do so as a ships captain might with charts and rulers etc. Were navigation beacons not as accurate back

then. With all the variables acting on the aircraft, with what level of certainty could he do his job? Was it OK if he got the plane in the vicinity of NYC or did he guide it straight to the landing strip?”

“...Some large aircraft have a third crewmember, the fl ight engineer, who assists the pilots by monitoring and operating many of the instruments and systems, making minor in-fl ight repairs, and watching for other aircraft. The fl ight engineer also assists the pilots with the company, air traffi c control, and cabin crew communications. New technology can perform many fl ight tasks, however, and virtually all new aircraft now fl y with only two pilots, who rely more heavily on computerized controls.”

Q:“Whatever became of the cockpit navigator?
