Maybe some of these foreign airlines should get there pilots in the sim and practice straight up visual approaches with no automation,get back to the basics of flying. I have instructed many foreign flight students in the past and most,not all, but most lacked basic eye hand coordination while flying the aircraft. However, they were very book smart. They could tell you how many rivets held the plane together and viscous makeup of the hydraulic fluid,but could not basically fly the airplane.

Makes almost as much sense as the new "rest" policies we're soon to be saddled with............

 

[crxpilot]

And what about the rest of our airports they fly into?

 

[FlyinGuy]

I don't always go into SFO, but when I do I always come in staggered.

Stay on speed my friends!!

Now for the lighter side

FWO = FLYING WHILE ORIENTAL = NO PHERIPHAL VISION = NO HAND EYE COORDINATION

DWO = DRIVING WHILE ORIENTAL = THE ABOVE ALSO

 

[pilot error]

Pathetic.

Lets not mention the other side of the flipped coin, ATC keeping you high and fast till they say slow.

 

[CaptSeth]

Now for the lighter side

= THE ABOVE ALSO

By stating that you are attempting humor, you are not immunizing yourself from accusations of racism/bigotry.

Are you kidding me?! How about they learn to fly in this country as opposed to us changing our policies and procedures to fit their skill-set.

So if you are kept high and fast it's ok if you can't fly a visual approach or say "unable?"

If I'm cheating on a written test, I'm looking at the Asian guys paper. If I want to survive an actual emergency, I want a gringo flying that plane. It's not racist to acknowledge that very real cultural differences exist and for whatever reason, many Asian cultures don't mix ideally with Aviation.

I think on some level, we all know this is true.

If you can't landed in a VMC conditions, wind calm and 200 miles visibility, Then, You should not be a pilot....

I'm a big fan of generalisations. Huge time saver. But .... ever heard of a nice Japanese gentleman called Saburo Sakai ? I've got a feeling he wasn't the only Japanese fighter pilot that could fly. In his case, he could do it after being hit in the face with a 50 Cal. round.

Sort of hit in the face, last time I checked, a 50cal in the face was life altering.

Any thoughts on this putting SFO over the edge and becoming slot controlled?
