*** Posted by Rapier *** Damn I wish I could read Danish! [hvordan skal være for at pilot]

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hi, I think that would depend on the individual pilot, his mental and physical abilities. Blackout and Redouts are potencially very dangerous for a pilot because unconsiousness occurrs for several seconds, but a pilot will always know his/her limits. I think the G-suits really help in this situation but they are ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hi Chris, I'm no expert on jet engine mechanics but the principle is quite simple. When extra fuel is mixed with the hot gases at the rear of the engine it is ignited and causes an extra power output because the gases are escaping more quickly and being burnt off. Once the afterburner kicks in and the gases are being ...

*** Posted by run *** Hi When using the term blackout it normally means that the pilot passes out, and it can take several seconds before he regains consiousness. After such an experience the pilot is grounded and has to be testet in a g-simulator before he can fly again. Approaching blackout you can experience greyout or tunnelvision wish most ...

*** Posted by Robert ''Banshee'' Anderson *** Hello,I was wondering how long can a pilot withstand Blackout/Redouts during a Positive/Negative tight maneuvers in his ''G-suit''? and, Does the Flight computer take control of the jet when the pilot doesn't respond within a few seconds after Blackout.Also is the pilot grounded for a few days after ...

*** Posted by run *** Hi Chris In the Royal Danish Airforce the only fighter we have is the F-16. run [I post this question with complete innocence (go easy). It's obvious that The Royal Danish Airforce fighter inventory is equiped with the F-16. What other fighter/bomber aircraft does is RDA have in its inventory. Thanks, Chris Gilliland]

*** Posted by run *** Hi Chris Here is the short version of what happens in the afterburner: The afterburner is situated after the engine and therefore all the hot air from the engine is passing through the afterburner. When you ignite the afterburner a lot of fuel is sprayed into the hot air and ignited. This creates quite a bit off excess ...

*** Posted by run *** Hi Chris Unfortunately they don't allow anything else than 20/20. It is kind of stupid since it doesn't matter if your vision gets worse after you start. For more info about the physical requirements you can go to the following link: <A HREF=''http://www.forsvaret.fvr.dk/english/flv/pilot.htm'' ...

*** Posted by Chris Gilliland *** What kind of physical requirements does the Royal Danish Airfoce require for their potential aviators? I'm curious, The USAF(United States Airforce) will not allow a pilot with corrected vision(not completely true 20/60). Could a guy with corrected vision defect to The Danish Airforce and make the cut with ...
