    Garmin 400GPS

    I bought into an acft with a Garmin 400GPS. The unit is not connected to the HSI and there are no external warning lights. I know that this cannot be used for IFR under part 135, however is it legal to use it under part 91 to fly GPS approaches if you have a current data base and use the CDI...

    Smaller range a/c at NetJets QOL

    Been on the Beechjet since I was hired 10 months ago and love it. It's definitely the easiest job at NJA. Due to our range and load limitations we generally only fly recoveries for ourselves and the Ultras. A hard day is generally 4 short legs. A lot of days we sit at the hotel or FBO so it's...

    Union Thoughts

    This seems like a normal progression with new pilot unions outside of the big passenger carriers. The UPS pilots started out as Teamsters before they split off and formed their own union. The key point for working bees is to have as many folks as possible in unions, and then making sure that...

    BE400 NJA and FLOP's

    last tour, I was on arrival from the south to the NYC area. About the time we got to the DCA, area center started giving everyone a 280KIAS restriction. The flight ops guy ahead of us said he couldn't comply because of fuel considerations and that he could only do 200. Center suddenly had to...

    Fractional fee's-BE400

    I seem to remember at Indoc they told us the monthly mgt fee was around $11,000 and the hourly charge was $2000. I make no guarantees written or otherwise on the accuracy of my memory,

    High Oil Pressure

    Thanks for advice Guys thanks for the suggestions. The engine was reading normal pressure before the oil change. The new filters were same part number but different manufacturer. Oil was Phillips 20-50W same as before. Avbug, I took your advice and got the old filters out of the garbage and...

    High Oil Pressure

    i just did an oil change and filter change on my 68 PA31 with Lycoming TIO540C engines. When I did a run up with the cowlings off to check for leaks the left engine oil pressure was normal, but right was in the yellow at idle and when I increased throttle it would go into red. Oil was at about...

    Types of Climbs

    I don't know for sure if it applies to part 135, but under 121 you don't necessarily have to meet the 3.3% on IFR takeoffs. As long as your company has made airport survey and determined a minimum obstacle clearance gradient that you can meet single engine, you're good to go. They can use not...

    NetJets response from resume

    I just interviewed this week, and Derinda and Jerry are not pouring out kool aid. They tell you right out front that these are the 5 domiciles and that you will start out on reserve. They caution everyone that commuting a long distance will be a problem, and that if you find that unnaceptable...

    Relocation to Eastern PA?

    I live in the Poconos about 5 miles south of I80 and 10 miles from NJ. You can get a very nice house for about $270000. You're 1:20 from EWR. The only public transport to the city is commuter bus service going to Port Authority and lower Manhattan.

    Moustaches?

    I should be interviewing at NJA in the next month or two. What's their position/attitude on moustaches for both the interview and at work. I've had my moustache for over 35 years at both the military and a major airline with no problems (it's always well trimmed.) I have no compunction about...

    retired airline pilots at NJA?

    It's not just about money. For me not having to commute and live where I want is priceless. Also, I've been in love with flying for over 40 years, and the fractional kind of flying seems very interesting and at times challenging. The 7 and 7 schedule is also a big plus.

    retired airline pilots at NJA?

    Archer, I too am a retired NWA captain. Sent in my resume in early October. Got my application three weeks later, and sent it back in four days. Got the app received/ stand by for an interview date email a day or two after the app got there. My first choice is TEB and Derinda told me that...

    NJA app questions

    This morning I flew with an FO who was offered a job by NJA about 3 months ago (He decided to turn it down and remain at NWA.) Anyway I asked him this very question, and he said it was a little over three months between his application received email and the onel offering him a choice of...
