Answer 1

These are open ended questions that can't be answered realistically, though I do like what John B. says.  Yo, John.

1.  Asking "what makes a great pilot?" is like asking "what's the secret to happiness?"  Happiness is wanting what you get, rather than getting what you want.

So a great pilot is one who always goes home alive and makes the same possible for the passengers and crew; who gets to the end of life and career with a positive outlook and no anxiety/depression disorders; who makes a joyful profession of her/his life; who can look back on life and say, "I always did what I said I would do when I said I would do it, and that makes me a sane person of good character."

2.  We will all be old someday.  We will all lose our medicals someday.  There is no way to foresee how that will feel or what we will want to do then.

We die in the night.  We say our prayers if we can, and hope for the best.  It will be wonderful if there is a far shore where we will meet again.  What will Mozart have come up with between then and now?  Will Muffin be there to greet me with barks and kisses?

A friend who had finished his PhD in philosophy at Chapel Hill and was leaving for his teaching job on the west coast stuck out his hand and said, "Goodbye forever."  Probably true, though we might have run into each other somewhere, someday.  But I returned the sentiment, and I don't worry about him often.

An ancient and wizened Shinto priest climbed slowly up a long flight of stairs to a small rustic shrine among very old hillside trees; there he set about lighting eight hundred candles.  As the night gathered about him, he sat before that carpet of flickering lights, keeping watch.  He became one with the night and the sea of candles, and kept to his work, which was only to be glad to have been able to see a thing of such beauty and rarity.

He watched, and was glad.  Maybe he slept a little, and the candles made their silent song under the ancient trees in the faint hillside breeze.  The priest's lights repeated the manner of the stars that filled the inaccessible part of the night, far away but visible.

In the first light of day, the candles, imitating the stars, began to flicker and go out, one by one, until the room was a place of shadows and outlines and the aged priest was finally all alone.

Slowly he rose and returned down the long stairs to his hut, where he took a little porridge and lay down to sleep.  Later in the day, he would teach.

Answer 2

!. You have to know what you're doing...you have to be nice to EVERYONE

2. When I was in college I got a letter to be a surgeon, I have done studies on that so that is what I would do if I could no longer fly, and if that happened, when that happens, I would be soooooooooo mad. I love doing commercial

Answer 3

1. What type of pilot?

> Private pilot. Someone who has alot of situational awareness, doesnt focus on the one task solely, but takes into acount all that is happening around him and absorbs all available information, i.e. weather, route, engine performance etc.

> COmmerical, As most is automated with enroute flight, this part of piloting is crew resource management, and your crew relationships, especially if your a captain, delegation and cockpit authority gradient. You must always be ahead of the aircraft, no what your going to do before you do it. This applys for private just as much.

2. If medical reasons stopped me i would find whatever passion it was that i had and pursue that, which could be Air Traffic control if your medical condition wasnt so severe as to stop you from attaining medical certificate for that.

Answer 4

cannot determine who's a great pilot until after he quits flying. many "great pilots" who followed the rules, had knowledge of their  proffession and otherwise did what we think great pilots do are dead because in the final moments of their life they weren't so great afterall. guess i'm a great pilot. or used to be. retired you see and still breathing. and there's your answer to the second question.

Answer 5

1) A consistently safe pilot with excellent knowledge and professional skills. A pilot who understands and respects the laws. A pilot who knows his procedures well and understands the limitations of himself and his machine. A smooth flyer (no harsh or erratic control movements) who never neglects nor mishandles his aircraft. A pilot who inspires confidence in others by virtue of setting up examples of excellence in the aviation field. A balanced, amicable, gentle and well respected person with good command qualities.

2) Claim 'Loss of Licence' Insurance. After that -

Take a desk job in operations or head office. Open ones own Ground Training School or join the training school as a ground instructor. Open and/or run and manage a flying school or club. Operate a small courier or cargo airline. Conduct rental, chartering and aircraft brokerage services.

Plus there are a host of other activities a grounded pilot can engage in.
