Another thing an instrument rating does for a commercial pilot is it allows them to fly for hire at night, and to take passengers more than 50 nautical miles at a time.
See that DASH-8 landing near the start!!??? omg Just as the narrative says the pilots are getting heaps of landing and takeoffs.. epic landing wonder how many Gs they pulled.
Imagine instead that parachutes were integrated into seats and opened automatically. Each seat would be an ejection seat and passengers would be strapped to them with something more reliable than today's 2 point belts (like pilots of the fighter planes). You could also fit some limited oxygen supply system into the seat in case of high altitude ejection. Of course blowing off the plane's roof and mass ejection sequence could be only initiated by pilots.
It really doesn’t make sense having parachutes on your average commercial flight. Most times, the plane is over open ocean or a vast mountain range or something. What good does it do to jump?
I'm surprised this video only has around 500 views. It is literally the best Stripes video I've seen. I'm doing my flight training at the moment and I was never fully sure when you get the second stripe but now I know. Liked and Subscribed!
