A general aviation pilot is a pilot who operates aircraft primarily for non-scheduled, non-airline flight operations. This can include activities such as business travel, flight training, air tours, agricultural work, and other non-scheduled flights. They fly a variety of aircraft, from small single-engine planes to larger multi-engine aircraft, and must adhere to all relevant aviation regulations.

No, fighter pilots do not typically have their own planes. They are assigned specific aircraft by the military or airline they work for, and they follow strict protocols for their use and maintenance.

To become an aircraft pilot, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires a minimum of 40 hours of flight time for a private pilot's license, but commercial airline pilots typically need a minimum of 1,500 hours of flight time, including specific training and experience. This can vary depending on the specific airline and the type of aircraft they fly.

An aircraft pilot operates and navigates aircraft, ensuring the safety of passengers and cargo during flights. They are responsible for taking off, flying, and landing the aircraft, as well as monitoring the aircraft's systems and adhering to flight regulations.

The Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental is often used in aircraft pilot training flight simulators due to its size and complexity, mimicking real-world flight conditions closely. However, the specific simulator used can vary depending on the training facility.

To be considered an ace, an aircraft pilot must shoot down at least five enemy aircraft in aerial combat during wartime. This term originated during World War I and has been used to recognize exceptional pilots in various conflicts since then.

Aircraft need two pilots for safety reasons. This is to ensure that one pilot can focus on flying the aircraft while the other can monitor systems, navigate, and be ready to take over in case of an emergency. This redundancy is crucial for the safe operation of the aircraft.

Yes, a sport pilot can fly an experimental aircraft, but only under certain conditions. The aircraft must comply with the FAA's Experimental Aircraft category and the pilot must hold the appropriate endorsement for the specific aircraft model.

Aircraft pilots are required to have a pilot's license. There are no planes that do not require a pilot's license for operation. However, some unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) can be operated without a pilot's license, but these are not considered aircraft as they do not carry passengers or cargo.

An aircraft pilot does not typically have a weighing machine installed. Weighing machines are not part of the standard equipment used by pilots in an aircraft cockpit. The primary equipment used by pilots includes navigation systems, communication devices, and flight instruments to control and monitor the aircraft's flight.
