Seth K 3 Report post Posted December 31, 2005 One of my friend from foreign conutry..visitted Adam Air 737-200(if not mistaken ) cockpit and this was his Captain.. Pilot where glove, is that normal . Looks like Formula 1 driver glove! Is this pilot racing with MH 734 or GA to reach destination first.........damn, that will be a pretty bumpy ride........oh I wish someone has a video about aircraft racing in air........................just my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S Chang 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2006 usually worn by middle-aged persons so that they get better grip on controls. i was told that mostly their palms doesnt sweat enough therefore no moisture to create grip, that's why the gloves come in handy.

Teoh Z Yao 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2006 Gloves! Yes, gloves. That was the first thing I noticed when I was in the cockpit long ago. After the flight, engines off, gloves also off. Looks good when landing with a pair of gloves... Was on AK 50 to Macau recently. The captain left his office and went behind chatting with the cabin crews, so I took the opportunity to attempt a visit to the cockpit in-flight. The captain refused, but I was allowed in the cockpit after flight. Captain wasn't too friendly, but the Mat Salleh f/o was delighted to entertain me. So, I asked to allow me to shove the thrust levers and grip the yoke and play around with it! Being a simulator pilot, how meaningful it is to be able to give a touch on the controls! At least I feel the grip... Pushing the thrust levers up rang the alarm! Wrong config I was told... How come, I was always told it is company regulation that no visitors in the cockpit during flight, but there are still visitors on these company flights?

But actually, when the alarm rang the f/o got a shock... Probably he thought the engine was still on... What you mean by "when take-off"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teoh Z Yao 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 I wouldn't want to be in the plane if I were allowed to control the thrust levers during takeoff... Can anyone trust me...? Haha... Oh... The alarm rang because the a/c was not in the right configuration to allow the levers half-way up; we were at parking mode... Aiks... The pilots know better!! Anyone...?
