I'm a little curious how someone becomes an airship pilot.
I understand that the core skills from airplanes would carry over, but how do you create the protocols and best practices for piloting a completely new vehicle that hasn't been flown in nearly 90 years? Do the practices from 90 years ago still apply?
- jpgvm 4y agoZeppelin and Good Year have been flying blimps and semi-rigid airships continually, there are quite a number of qualified airship pilots as a result. As for transfer from airplanes, only somewhat. Airships have a lot in common with boats/sailing but really they are very much their own thing with their own set of constraints and difficulties.
