The pilot jet is the part which supplies most of the fuel at low throttle openings.
Once the throttle is opened far enough, the jet needle is pulled high enough out of the needle jet and the size of the hole in the main jet begins to regulate fuel flow.
A pilot jet size of 40 would be multiplied by 0.92 and the pilot jet size would be 36.8.

It has been said that a pilot's job is hours of boredom punctuated with seconds of sheer terror.

The former commander of a US Marine pilot whose jet cut the wires of an Italian cable car, killing 20 people, has told his trial the pilot took risks during the flight.
Prosecutors allege the pilot, on his final Prowler mission before transferring to fighter pilot school, was intentionally flying too low and too fast on the day of the accident.
Before witnessing the fly-by, the jurors were given the chance to sit in the cramped cockpit of the Prowler, a Vietnam-era combat jet used to jam enemy radar.

He wasn’t licensed to fly a plane as big as that and the two pilots he was hiring weren’t even on board, so that tells me right there it’s been hijacked.

When you remember that this was in 1949 while jet planes were still in their infancy, the shots are even more thrilling.

"First of all jets are more difficult to take off than propeller planes because they accelerate much faster and the speed they need to get airborne is much higher," Pera wrote in an e-mail to WND.
Second of all no rational military trained pilot would take the chance of hurdling off the runway at 160 mph just to let some bigwig handle the controls.
