      In ATC speak, "Company" refers to the airline a pilot is flying for.
      IE: An ATC may tell a pilot to line up and wait behind company on Alpha. That means that they're supposed to wait behind the plane of the same airline they are on the Alpha taxiway.

    One time I was flying on an Air Force C-130 Hercules. I was sitting in the cargo compartment and was plugged into the intercom system and listening to the crew talking up front in the cockpit. They had a copy of Playboy and were looking at the pictures in the magazine. All of a sudden someone up there said something to the effect, "Hey, we overflew our last way point. We should have turned 100 miles ago." Suddenly the 130 banked over hard left and began a very sharp turn. Everyone in the back was looking at each other with a puzzled look on their faces. Except me.

      Also at that time, some companies allowed one pilot to rest in the pilot's quarters, while one stayed in the cockpit.

      Phil Chill Actually, there is never a solo pilot for any commercial airline regardless of rest rigs. The FAA requires 2 designated persons in the flight deck at all times. Even flight atts enter the flight deck for restroom breaks to ensure no 1 person is solely in charge. It’s an FAA requirement since 911, 2001. This happened in 2009.

    @chaosopher23 9 лет назад +56

    Airplane pilots that "get distracted" are likely either sleeping or playing poker among the crew, or something else equally important. There's a VERY simple (and almost free) solution to this. Set an alarm. Have a computer play a random, annoying song that forces attention to return to reality by simple accident of interruption. The alarm is randomly set between 45 minutes and an hour and a quarter to sing a song to the crew, alerting them to the fact that they're in an airplane and in control. Another is fixed at a certain time before an approach course is set.
    It's hard being bored for a long truck drive, it's murder on attention. It must be many times harder as a pilot. It's not sleep, but daydream. Humans aren't designed for boredom. Ask a trucker.

I'm pretty convinced that they look for me flying long routes just to catch me and kick me off the network.
      Oh well, It's really the only way I can tolerate long hauls is if I sleep through it. Vatsim supervisors seem to think that pilots have the time to sit in front of a monitor and watch a virtual plane fly for 10 hours. Out of 10 hour flight, I'm most likely only actively at my computer for 1/5th of that time.

    I looked up details about this. The pilots were so distracted, the only reason why they snapped out of it was because one of the flight attendants phoned the flight deck and asked why the weren’t landing yet.

    That's why I always set my alarm on my watch. Need to be awake to land. Boredom sure but toss in being exhausted. Especially if you've got a quick overnight turn. Sure you have 8 or 9 hours off on paper. That doesn't mean you're sleeping. The wx. Is bad the hotel van is late. You have check in, triple S it, maybe grab something to eat, talk with your kids etc. Great it's 1AM and if I'm asleep right now I can get 4 hours. But I'm not asleep. Another night with 2 hours of sleep.

    Something very interesting that I saw in Japan was the manner in which the conductors of high speed trains operate. Since most of it is automated as well, the conductors are instructed to point out all safety signs they see on their train ride. This shows that the conductors are paying attention and are aware of their surroundings.

    This is more common in our skies today than we wish. I spoke to a pilot recently from a German company who told me, these issues get even worse when flying long haul at night. Even more since the company installed a system ( i forgot the name) that automatically reports the position of the aircraft that makes radio un necessary..

    boredom? lol super misleading.. i saw the news investigation on this.. they were distracted becuase they are on their laptop and was planning fight schedules.. they turned off the radio as well. they only noticed when one of the fight attendant ask why haven't landed yet, they should have landed an hour ago.. an f-15 escorted them back to the airport once contact was established, and they were constantly ask what distracted them but they wouldn't give a direct answer so they were ask multiple times if the cockpit was breached, or are they in any threat..
