A special visitor came to visit us today, Captain Baxter an airline pilot.
He told us all about his exciting job. We learned about the roles of differnt people who work in the airline and the different types of planes which exist â
We also learned that there are many checks that must take place before a plane is ready to fly. First of all the weather, outside area and cabin have to be checked. Next the bags are loaded and fuel is filled. After that passengers have to be seated and the flightdeck has to be set up. Then the plane is ready for take off!
We found out how high and fast a plane can fly and how the pilot knows where to go. We checked live flights flying out of Glasgow and flying into Glasgow. We even went on a journey which took off and landed. It was so exciting!
A huge thank you to Captain Baxter for taking time out to visit us, we learned so much and had lots of fun exploring the props he brought.
