    For the love of Pete Great Lakes!!

    You obviously were never in DTW during a XJ push during the 2000's. Probably would have made you break down like a B6 captain. Boy I miss the good ol' days.

    International Fuel Reserves Part 91

    So this is what I've found so far... ICAO is the same as 91.167 but the requirements for an alternate are different. The you must use the destination country's fuel reserve requirements if they are stricter than 91.167. Anyone else have input?

    International Fuel Reserves Part 91

    Are there any additional fuel reserve requirements beyond 91.167 for a Part 91 flight over the Pacific? Reference? I know all the part 121 rules regarding oceanic, and the Canadian requirements of 10% contingency when originating an oceanic flight from Canada, but have not found any other regs...

    iPad GPS Reliability on Oceanic Routes

    Just curious if anyone had any good or bad experiences with the iPad internal GPS or external GPSs on oceanic crossings. I've heard of problems with heated windscreens. Any merit? I've used my iPad on some ferry flights originating from the UK and always had an issue with it picking up a GPS...

    Departure Procedure Performance

    Thanks for all the responses. Funny thing is after 10 years of 121 flying and no one has ever supplied me with this data or explained where it is in the AFM so I could prove I would have the performance...bad on me for not asking about this sooner.

    Departure Procedure Performance

    They do, but it's only every 1000' and the time and distance is rounded off to the nearest minute and NM. I was thinking there may be more accurate data, and something that was already given in Ft/NM or FPM. Though maybe that's how all operators get their data.

    Departure Procedure Performance

    I need to know the aircraft performance...what the airplane will do before departure so you know you can meet it. The manufacturer of the aircraft I currently fly does not supply all-engines operating info in the AFM or any FCOM manual. I was wondering how others got this data.

    Departure Procedure Performance

    Obviously the manufacture needs to supply this info. However, none of our manuals has all-engines-operating performance for takeoffs...AFM or FCOM. There is time and distance to climb, but only in 1000' increments...not highly accurate, but somewhat usable. Thanks lads.

    Departure Procedure Performance

    Thanks score. Unfortunately the company does not, but that may change.

    Departure Procedure Performance

    Question for any performance engineers out there: Knowing the following, how does one ensure they can meet climb requirements of ODPs or SIDs all engines operating? Runway analysis is for OEI, and generally differs from the departure procedure to obtain the required 121/135 requirements. AFM...

    1261 days to go!

    I do that some times, but at least I don't have to retire in 420 days or take a little blue pill. Packertime....or Championtime?

    1261 days to go!

    Not that it matters to me anymore because I'm not in the 121 world, but... 420!!!!! Just happy to help!

    Air france pilots getting the blame

    I would also say that Airbus' attempt to take the pilot out of the cockpit has caused many crashes. The crew seemed to have a lack of stick-and-rudder skills...something flying an Airbus can easily cause.

    Would you take the plane?

    Wouldn't that be outside your skillset then? Since when do we make decisions based on certificate action? I found if you do your job like your trained to do there is little if zero risk of violations.

    Would you take the plane?

    Yep...and sometimes it just that...a "feeling" that somethings not right about this picture. You know, when the hair stands up on the back of your neck.

    Would you take the plane?

    Not that i'm disagreeing with you, but the safety record decades ago wasn't something to brag about. With this said...we could never fly and never be at risk of crashing an airplane. It's all about threat analysis and risk assessments. Would I accept the aircraft? Normally, yes. However, like...

    Would you take the plane?

    Sometimes the hardest decision is the one to walk away. Few airline pilots lack the skills and motivation to accomplish the mission. In fact, given the right circumstances, I would look at this as a fun and extraordinary task...something you don't get to do every day. However, unlike the...

    Limitations on the Use of Automation at Your Company

    Automation dependency is a serious topic. You need to watch AA's "Children of the Magenta" because I would bet half of you couldn't fly an ILS in a C172 with steam gauges any more. I've witnessed plenty of crappy ILSs on the peanut gauges to know this. Give the guy a break, this is a legitimate...

    A question for fractional pilots about the TSA.

    X2 You guys are too sensitive. Anyways... When I was still employed by NJA, CMH was the only problem-child. Though everyone knows it and checks baggage.

    New FAA rest rules

    This is very good for the industry and actually addresses cumulative fatigue, sector fatigue, and circadian rhythms. The new rules tend to parallel what the EU currently has, which is a duty and flight time limits based on a leg number and duty start matrix. Also the cumulative duty time limits...
