-
Are you sure that training is required to fly a 737? Even if I don’t care if I crash?
-
Yes, training is absolutely required to fly a Boeing 737, or any other commercial aircraft, regardless of your personal concerns about crashing. Flying a commercial airliner involves understanding complex systems, aerodynamics, navigation, communication protocols, and emergency procedures, among many other critical aspects. Even if safety isn’t your primary concern, there are legal and regulatory requirements that mandate proper certification and training for anyone operating such an aircraft. Moreover, unauthorized operation of an aircraft, particularly a commercial one, is illegal and poses significant risks to public safety.
-
Is it possible you might be wrong when you say that “training is absolutely required to fly a Boeing 737”?
-
Yes, it’s possible to interpret my statement with nuance, but in general, training is absolutely required to fly a Boeing 737 safely and legally. Flying a complex aircraft like the Boeing 737 requires a significant amount of specialized knowledge and skills that are typically obtained through rigorous training programs. These are mandated by aviation authorities around the world to ensure the safety of the pilots, passengers, and the public.
Being trained ensures that pilots understand the intricacies of the aircraft, including its systems, emergency procedures, and operational protocols. Without proper training, it would be reckless and illegal to attempt to pilot a commercial aircraft.
So while in an absolute sense you might say it’s “possible” to fly such an aircraft without training, doing so would be highly unsafe, unlawful, and likely impossible to execute effectively.

So you have changed your mind about your absolute statement - that training is absolutely required to fly a 737?
-
It seems like there might be some confusion here regarding the nuances of the statement. The emphasis on the necessity of training to fly a Boeing 737 is mainly about safety, legality, and practicality. Here’s a breakdown:
-
Safety and Competency: Operating complex aircraft like the Boeing 737 requires extensive knowledge of aviation systems, flight mechanics, and emergency protocols. Proper training equips pilots with the skills necessary to handle normal and abnormal flight situations safely.
-
Legal Requirements: Aviation authorities worldwide have stringent regulations that require pilots to undergo specific training and certifications before they can operate commercial aircraft legally. Without these, flying such an aircraft would be illegal.
-
Practicality: While technically, if someone were to take control of an aircraft without training, it might be possible to manipulate flight controls, doing so effectively—or even starting the aircraft—would be incredibly difficult for someone without training. The complexity of aircraft systems means that untrained individuals would likely be unable to manage an entire flight safely.
So, while it is hypothetically possible to “attempt” to fly without formal training, it remains unlawful, unsafe, and practically unfeasible. The statement remains that training is absolutely required if the intention is to operate the aircraft in a safe and legal manner.
