No and NO!

TROLL ALERT - TROLL ALERT = TROLL ALERT!!!!!!

Oddly, you may think, aircraft are freely able to climb and descend from sea level to their service ceiling. This means they can change their altitude pretty much at will, almost irrespective of temperature. No more, please!

Do you remember, 'tcasdescend', that you also asked all about how instruments worked and also asked about learning to fly in a simulator, 10 years ago, back in 2012.

Now a question from me, for once - How did that go? Ten whole years ago? And why exactly are you back to ask all the same questions all over again?

Are you flying a 737 yet with just 16 hours training? When do you think you'll complete the course, so we can have the honour of you being our captain on our next flight?
