    Ailerons

    1903 Wright flyer used a system that warped the entire wing. I am not sure but I think the flying wings use a system that is mostly spoilers and no or tiny ailerons. Only ones I know of.

    Background Checks?

    Mojo you're being way too vague. You need to come clean on this. The people here will try to help you if you give all the pertinent info. If you have recent convictions you are going to have to figure out a way to deal with it in an interview. Many of the posters here have probably been there...

    Height limits?

    I had a company commander/blackhawk pilot who was about 6'5". Funny thing is he was a kiowa pilot before he came to our blackhawk unit. Funny because his seated height was about two inches more than mine and I was turned down for flying sargeant job on kiowa because my seated height was too...

    Manifold Pressure Question

    I understand fully that the throttle and the prop lever both affect man press. The original question was why does the man press rise when you reduce the RPM with the prop lever during the runup. I am simply trying to answer the question that was asked. Everyone is dancing around it but not...

    Manifold Pressure Question

    But wait... If you have a given RPM and increase the throttle this lets more air into the engine right. But the manifold pressure also rises. There is no back-up of air, the engine is actually increasing its power output and taking in more air. This doesn't jive with your theory of less air...

    Do I have a chance?

    I'll start by saying this is old info so may not still be true. I have a friend who was hired by American Eagle back in 2001. He was an active duty army pilot PCSing when he applied. He had a multi comm fixed wing with pretty low fixed hrs and about 700 rotor. American Eagle gave him credit for...

    Manifold Pressure Question

    Keep trying you're closing in on it. Think about turbo charged engine though might have to rethink this.

    Manifold Pressure Question

    Sounds backwards to me.

    FlyI doing well?

    So all posts now have to be constructive. Let me rephrase: I think the airline can be profitable, all they have to do is get their ticket prices up to a price which will, given a good load factor, produce more revenue per flight than the cost to operate the aircraft on said flight. There...

    My Next Logbook

    I keep the little book with me while I am flying so I can enter the flights as I complete them. I keep a Jepp Pro book at home. I update the big book about once a month. This way I always have two copies in case one is lost and I will only have to reconstruct maybe two weeks worth. Also the...

    FlyI doing well?

    Load factor can be 105% if you are selling the seat for half the cost of flying it you can never make a profit.

    Deck angle..

    I think the highest deck angle I have seen lately was a Falcon 20 landing on a fairly short runway. That guy was nearly draggin his tail.

    Steep spiral question

    Ok this is an add on to my Cmel so its in a fixed leg 172 no worries about prop or gear. I want idle power and come down as quickly as reasonable while keeping airspeed constant at around 70 to 80. If I understand you guys correctly its like a turn on point so I'm basically graded on constant...

    Steep spiral question

    I am beginning training to get my CSEL add on. In reviewing the PTS and highlighting the areas that I will be graded on I came across the steep spiral. The PTS is very vague on the correct way to do this maneuver. I did my multi comm back in 2000 and the steep spiral wasn't even part of the PTS...

    Background Checks?

    You don't give the details about how much time between convictions, when was last conviction. You said over a ten year period. If it was ten years with the last conviction being last year unfortunately you are probably in trouble for an airline job. You have to be able to explain in an interview...

    Do you get what you pay for?

    The best in EXX was Hog City but it closed. Close second is Lexington BBQ on Business 85. If you really want to go for some good stuff and you can get Charlie to let you have the car long enough go north on New 85 to the Finch Farm exit go left to Hwy 62 (only a few hundred yards). Turn right on...

    Learn something new everyday...

    Yep full throttle with no turbo at 7500 may only be 65% depending on rpm setting (constant speed prop). Big difference between full throttle and full power.
