    BEECHJET - SIC needed In September

    Regardless of anything else, I'm just happy to see ANY job listed on FI again. I miss the days of reading about not working for so and so bottom feeder, and never take a job where you might have to work 20 days a month for less than $150,000.

    BEECHJET - SIC needed In September

    [QUOTE=ultrarunner;There are requirements Celtic. And the most restrictive is ALWAYS the underwriter. The 'Open Pilot Warranty' clause in their insurance binder specifically states the minimum requirements for PIC and SIC.QUOTE I understand insurance. We have under our "open pilot," "pilots...

    BEECHJET - SIC needed In September

    I agree, no one should be offered an opportunity to work in this environment. Where does this guy get off? It is surprizing there aren't some kind of requirements beyond three bounces though.

    Lowest time King Air PIC?

    Had a friend ignore the advise to talk to the insurance company first (~1200 hr. guy), went to school, got back, got fired for not knowing he wouldn't be qualified, and is now selling used cars.

    What kind of tug is this?

    Can't tell you exactly what it is, but they had them on demo at the Reno air races last year. It is radio control. Seemed really maneuverable, but looked like there would be a learning curve, since not all of the line guys out there have RC time

    Suze Orman HATES Fractionals

    Actually, since charter is a commodity, we charge whatever we can. Ideally, it would be a full round trip for every leg, and then sell the empty for full boat as well. The reality in the current market is that you probably can't even sell the one way at a full one way rate. It is pretty...

    17 Dead in Montanta

    o2bflyn, i think there is a healthy level of speculation that goes on among professionals, we are at risk of making the same mistakes, or possibly being the victom of outside forces, so we have a lot more on the line than do the media, or your dentist, or anyone else who asks. I am not immune...

    17 Dead in Montanta

    Thanks, Snakum! I think I need to add, "inability to recognize obvious sarcasm" to the probable cause of death for most FI threads.

    17 Dead in Montanta

    You didn't completely miss my point. Ok, maybe you did. As soon as there is an accident, everyone uses it to justify their cause. I have no idea what the pilot makes, but my issue right now is pilot wages are dropping, therefore, that is what I think caused the accident. In this...

    17 Dead in Montanta

    Everybody seems to be blaming their favorite issue on this one. Single pilot? It was a 91 trip, if there was a "quote," it was an illegal charter. The NTSB reps that have indicated ice, also stated that icing in turboprops is something they have been pushing the FAA to tighten their...

    Is XOJet killing your business?

    I don't know that XO, or anyone needs to grab market share at this time, but rather, survive. If there are fewer operators at the other side of the recession, it means greater market share for those who remain. Too many operators are selling trips for less than cost, for the cash flow. That...

    Citation; dry tanks 4th approach gear up

    Pretty ambitious flight planning, even in good weather.

    Citation; dry tanks 4th approach gear up

    It's been a couple of years since I've flown a II. If I remember right, full tanks was 5000 lbs. What would fuel burn be at 280, ~1400/hr. maybe a little less? Either way, they used all of it.

    Citation; dry tanks 4th approach gear up

    Here is a picture of the bird from Flightaware- http://flightaware.com/photos/view/toptail/230759-7cc2831d4761775a1185273d46e26925563f0f3b;tail=N815MA;o=0 Since it is not trailing link, it is not a Bravo. If it never was above FL280, the whole thing sounds impossible to me. There must be...

    Citation; dry tanks 4th approach gear up

    Was this a Bravo, or an older Cit. II? An older II would have been max range with 5 pax. Max TO- 13,300 Empty wt ~9,000 7 people ~1300 Leaves 3000 for fuel, about 3 hours worth at 370kts. Flightaware shows the leg took almost six hours to tanks dry. Can a Bravo fly that long with that...

    Citation; dry tanks 4th approach gear up

    Just over 1000NM, with 7 people (with crew), had to be pretty close to max range in a Cit. II. Three aproaches? they had to have the low fuel lights on for two of them.

    Question for the Reg gurus

    A 293 is only good for that type. So a 293 in a Citation is not good in a Lear. A 297 and a 299 in a Citation would be good for a Lear, assuming that the captain has a current 293 in the Lear. 293- annual equipment check, type specific. 297- 6 month instrument currency check, can be done in...

    Question for the Reg gurus

    299 doesn't address it, but there are certain families of aircraft that a 293 can cover. For example, a 293 check given in a C172 covers a whole list of other Cessna singles, such as the 210, 182, etc. There needs to be differences training, but it should all be spelled out in your training...

    Citation V/Ultra/Bravo Information

    Currently flying an Ultra. Would say it is a step above a straight V, but it should be. An extra 250+ lbs. thrust per side makes a pretty big difference hot and high, and allows for a little more speed at a little higher altitude. We plan on 390 to 410 as optimum altitudes, but does ok at 430...
