Why do pilots have a notebook?

It has information about the flight like Callsign, Takeoff Time, Radio Frequencies, and Planned Maneuvers for quick reference. The local area procedures and approach plates may also be included. that would be a knee board, pilots they are strapped to a pilot’s legs and contain notes about the current flight.

What does a pilot need to carry?

A pilot must carry a government issued photo ID, pilot certificate, and medical certificate. When exercising the pilot privileges as a required flight crewmember, the pilot must have in physical possession, or readily accessible in the aircraft, a valid pilot certificate or special authorization.

What do pilots carry in their cases?

After all of that, there are really only a few things that pilots are required to carry with them, and they include: a pilot certificate, photo identification and, when necessary, an aviation medical certificate. The rest is optional, but useful.

What kind of helmets do fighter pilots wear?

Among fighter pilots based in England, most pilots flew wearing the C helmet or A-11 helmets. I would estimate its use was less then 10\% among fighter pilots. (F-12) Shown above left is the B-8 goggle on top of an A-11 helmet, used by both bomber and fighter pilots. It shows up in plenty of photos.

What kind of goggles do F-10 pilots wear?

(F-10) Shown above left is the POLAROID ALL-PURPOSE GOGGLE No.1021. The goggles could be found, as its description “ALL-PURPOSE” implies, on anyone and everyone needing a goggle including bomber crews and fighter pilots.

Why do fighter planes have two vertical stabilizers and two rudders?

This combination produces no side force when the rudder is aligned with the stabilizer and allows either left or right forces, depending on the deflection of the rudder. Some fighter planes have two vertical stabilizers and rudders because of the need to control the plane with multiple, very powerful engines.

What would happen if a plane had a rudder on it?

Otherwise, the aircraft would encounter additional drag or even a possible adverse yaw condition in which, due to increased drag from the control surfaces, the nose would move farther off the flight path. The rudder works by changing the effective shape of the airfoil of the vertical stabilizer.
