Testing engines
Hi all i was at my favourite spotting spot man airport viewing park the other morning, and a monarch plane was in the engine test area right next to us, it was making a right racket and sounded like it was about to take off, who would have been at the controls i said it would have to be be a pilot but my hubby says it would have been monarchs own engineers who are qualified to test the engines also what actually stops the plane from moving do they have to be shackled or something, as said it sounded like the engines were going at full power,final question is it possible to get permission to sit on the flight deck when there doing these tests a friend of ours said he did that a few years ago and it was really interesting
