Can an aircraft inexplicably gain altitude without input from the pilot?
Why do aircraft fly at the altitudes that they do? How far could the average airliner glide if it lost all engine power at normal cruising altitude and speed, assuming it could power flaps etc. without engines? Can a plane land from cruise altitude with both engines out? When performing a Split S, how does the pilot know he is at a safe altitude so he does not hit the ground? What altitude could WW2 planes fly? If an airplane looses power can it land safely? How do pilots eject from a helicopter, when the blades are right above them? Can an airliner glide to the ground if both engines stop during high cruise altitude and cruise speed? Can a pilot climb to avoid a storm without any permission from the air traffic controller? How high can airplanes fly? In a helicopter, why do you pull backwards on the lever to gain altitude but push it forward to drop? And why isn't it the other way around? What should I do if the pilot passes out and I (with no flight training) have to land the plane? Is it true that aircraft don't fly directly over the north and south poles? How do pilots make crosswind landing at poor visibility? What's the highest altitude an average helicopter can fly? How do airships control altitude? Are airplane pilots taught what to do if their aircraft can't take off in time without running off the runway? Can a fighter pilot fly an airliner? How long does it take to train a pilot to land on an aircraft carrier? Is it possible to make an aerial vehicle which can fly using human power? What happens if a plane tries to take off without the main wing flaps deployed? How does aircraft's autopilot maintain constant altitude with respect to below ground variation (mountains etc.)? Can an airplane stand still in mid air? What is the temperature outside of an airliner at cruising altitude? How flight lifts up? How do pilots make crosswind landings? Why aeroplanes fly in sky? Why do pilots reduce the pressure inside the aircraft before landing? Why don't airplanes fly much higher than 35-38k ft? Can airplanes and jet fighters fly with no atmosphere?
