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.

How about flying a 767?
-
Flying a Boeing 767, like any large commercial aircraft, requires extensive training, certification, and experience. Here’s what you need to know if you’re interested in flying a 767:
-
Pilot Certification: You must first obtain the necessary pilot certifications. This starts with a Private Pilot License (PPL), followed by an Instrument Rating, and then a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). Most airlines require pilots to also have an Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL), which is the highest level of pilot certification.
-
Type Rating: After becoming a commercial pilot, you must obtain a type rating specific to the Boeing 767. This involves specialized training on the aircraft, including both ground school and simulator training. The type rating ensures you understand the systems, procedures, and handling characteristics of the 767.
-
Flight Experience: Airlines typically require a significant amount of flight experience before a pilot can fly a wide-body aircraft like the 767. This often includes thousands of flight hours, with experience in multi-engine and turbine-powered aircraft.
-
Airline Training Program: Once hired by an airline, you’ll undergo additional training specific to that airline’s procedures and the 767 aircraft. This often includes simulator sessions, line-oriented flight training, and initial operating experience flights with a training captain.
-
Recurrent Training: Pilots are required to undergo regular recurrent training to maintain their proficiency, including periodic simulator checks and requalification on emergency procedures.
-
Physical and Medical Requirements: Pilots must pass regular medical examinations to ensure they meet health and fitness standards. The requirements may vary depending on the country and regulatory authority.
Flying a Boeing 767 is a significant responsibility that involves operating complex systems and ensuring the safety of passengers and crew. It’s a rewarding career but requires dedication, skill, and ongoing education.

-
Are you really really absolutely certain that it is not possible to fly a 767 without training?
-
Flying a Boeing 767 or any large commercial aircraft without training is extremely dangerous and essentially impossible to do safely. Successfully piloting such an aircraft requires extensive knowledge, skill, and experience. Training for commercial airline pilots involves understanding complex systems, handling in-flight emergencies, and mastering takeoff and landing procedures, all of which are essential for the safety of passengers and crew.
Aircraft like the 767 have intricate controls and avionics that simply can’t be managed by someone without proper training. In an emergency, if there was no other option, someone without training might be able to receive some guidance from air traffic control to attempt to control the aircraft, but this would be highly risky and not a safe way to operate the plane. Therefore, professional training is absolutely essential for piloting a commercial aircraft.
-
So it is easier to fly a 767 than a 747 or a 737?
-
The ease of flying an aircraft largely depends on the design and technology of the cockpit, as well as the individual pilot’s training and experience. Generally speaking, comparing the Boeing 767, 747, and 737:
-
Boeing 737: This is a narrow-body aircraft typically used for short to medium-haul flights. It has a straightforward cockpit layout, and many pilots train on it as it’s a widely used aircraft across airlines. Its systems are designed for efficiency and simplicity, which might make it easier for some to operate, especially in shorter flights with frequent takeoffs and landings.
-
Boeing 747: Known as the “Queen of the Skies,” this is a wide-body, long-haul aircraft. Its size and complexity, along with features like four engines and an upper deck, make it more challenging to fly compared to smaller aircraft. The systems onboard are more complex, and pilots undergo extensive training to handle both the technical aspects and the operational demands of long-haul international flights.
-
Boeing 767: This wide-body aircraft falls somewhere between the 737 and 747 in terms of size and complexity. It is used for medium to long-haul flights. The 767 features advanced avionics and a more modern cockpit layout compared to earlier 747 models. Pilots often find it less challenging than the 747 in terms of handling and avionics, partly due to its two-engine configuration which simplifies some aspects of operation.
Overall, the perceived ease of flying any of these models depends heavily on the pilot’s familiarity with the aircraft, the specific model variants (as there can be considerable differences between model generations), and the types of routes the aircraft is flown on. Many pilots have personal preferences based on their training and experience.

-
So if a person wanted to fly a 767 without training, he could do it?
-
Flying a Boeing 767 or any commercial aircraft without proper training is extremely dangerous and highly unlikely to succeed. Pilots undergo extensive training, including both theoretical and practical components, to operate these complex machines safely.
Even with basic knowledge of flight controls or experience with smaller aircraft, stepping into the cockpit of a 767 involves understanding intricate systems such as navigation, communication, and engine management. Furthermore, different aircraft have unique operating procedures.
Attempting to fly such an aircraft without certification is not only illegal but would also put the individual, passengers, and others at significant risk. It is essential that only trained and certified pilots operate commercial airplanes.

@Gpt
Yes. When you said that training is absolutely required to fly large commercial aircraft including the 747, 737, and the 767, were you lying? -
No, I was not lying. Training is absolutely required to fly large commercial aircraft like the Boeing 747, 737, and 767. Pilots must undergo extensive training and obtain the appropriate licenses and certifications before they are qualified to operate these aircraft. This training ensures that pilots are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to handle various situations that may arise during flight and to operate the aircraft safely and efficiently.
-
Then since you assert that training is absolutely required to fly a 767, please tell me how highjackers were able to fly 767s into buildings without training?
-
The hijackers involved in the September 11 attacks did receive some level of training that enabled them to pilot the planes. While they may not have undergone the full commercial pilot training required for an airline pilot, they took flight lessons in the United States and practiced on flight simulators. This training was enough to allow them to control and navigate the aircraft once they had taken over the cockpit. It’s important to note that piloting an aircraft like a Boeing 767 requires significant training and expertise, but in the context of the attacks, the hijackers were focused on basic flying and navigation skills rather than the full spectrum of operations and safety skills required for commercial flight.
