I bet you guys are all so wonderfull to fly with..
"Why are you doing that??" well i guess you didn't read my mind good enough when you said you didn't have any questions.......
Just go by the books what is the big deal with a briefing lasting 15 or 30 seconds, especially if you have just...
A lot of the people that are FOR the age65 change don't realize how much of a benefit it is to be able to stop at 60. It is one of the few things we,as a pilot group, still have so we can enjoy our lives after retirement.
For us to be saying that there is no financial burden on the younger...
I am not against changing the age limit. What i am worried about is that at one point in the future it will be used to make us all fly to 65. Nothing against the people that want to do this, but i want to keep the option open to retire before 60, and I am plannin on doing so. If the age 65...
and no, pilots are not required to report 'leveling' at their last atc assigned altitude. if that were the case, there would be A LOT, and i mean A LOT, of unwanted frequency congestion. i don't know any pilots that do that, unless requested to do so by atc.
I was always under the impression...
I flew a 747-200 with an airframe total flight time of 128.000hrs and and almost 23500 cycles, according to Boeing it was the highest time and cycle airframe of any 747 presently in service
I'm 6-5 and not of small stature. The 24's and 25's were basically the same, tight fit, but if i take my shoes off i have full range of motion with the yoke. and I have big legs..
When I was a right seat it was a bit less, because the handle for the emergency brake was in the way, and I didn't...
I really don't mind tipping, but it truly got out of hand the way it is being done to everybody nowadays.
Transport to and from the airport is in my opinion the responsibility of the company, nevertheless i still tip them mostly. The guys on the airport property at our home base that truly do...
...you move on to a decent airline job and a few weeks later you realize that you used to go on a 40day trip and all the bagage you used to take would fit into your flightcase now....
Make really sure that your relationship is strong enough to handle it. Don't think it's just a little rough. It gets to be REALLY rough, especially on the person staying behind.
If one of you "blames" the other one for being gone for so long, even if the blame isn't spoken off out loud. It's...
I generally just take the Ac-U-Kwik with me, if I am lucky it has an airport diagram in there!!
I take the field elevation and than just plan on making a visual approach.... LOL!
That would be back to basic wouldn't it?? (scratches head....)
You know what would be the easiest and best solution?
Make sure that one of the flightcrew has an MD. Or better yet.. one isn't considered redundancy, make that at least two on each crew.
You are expected to be able to minister First Aid. If you are not schooled and qualified to use medicine...
It's not too complicated, but look at the link that Avbug posted.
The only thing to look out for is the tail-end positioning. You are allowed to do that part91, without the 135 "restrictions" but to home-base. If you decide to use that as a pre-position for a flight the next day and the start...
I was under the impression that Cargolux and Nippon Cargo Airlines were the launch customer for the 747-8F.
this is even confirmed on the Boeing website
nonetheless, this is good news for aviation, we would like to see everybody taking a piece of the expanding-pie!
have some faith in your training department!! i don't know what the big deal is with these new hires.
If a pilot will not be able to handle the airplane he is assigned to, surely he or she will wash out during training. It happends all the time with big airlines all over the globe and here in...
Currency has to be established by the operator. it's part of the approval process.
With us it's -completed the low visibility items during the last "operators proficiency check (i.e. 6mo checkride)
AND - one practise or actual approach using CATII/III procedures during the 6 months prior to the...
I've heard that at KLM it is possible to be in the CoCo seat (SO) for up to eight years. Normally they move on from Coco to FO 737. not too long ago they had to move people from Coco to 737 Co-pilot and result was that the F/O's whose place they had to take had to go back again to Coco!!
I want to add the same to the "logging actual"
It does not matter! once you sit inside an airline like that it has no value how much more actual time you are going to log, once you have a 777 typerating with 1000 hours in the left seat do you think anybody would frown on your actual-IFR time...
