    Restricted area in vfr route?

    How about this..... While you are in the AIM look at Section 1-2 about Radar returns. There are three figures in my older copy of the AIM. Figure 1-2-2 and Figure 1-2-3 show samples. So now, you are flying along using your G1000 flat panel or G530 pretty picture GPS and you allow 0.11 miles...

    A Pinnacle captain with some balls

    Let's play a game. You are based at LGA, company says a part came in for a sick plane but they sent it to JFK, can you take your car and go get the part. Are you going to make company pay for gas? The company says, "heck no" they're not paying for gas for 26 mile trip - a gallon of gas -...

    This has gotta suck for FLYI

    Old news. The violations occurred under the old ACA banner and during a time when company was switching maintenance computer programs. This news is at least 18 months old if not older - only the fine is just now being announced by the FAA (where all things move with blinding speed). As to 455...

    Siesta Key

    What's your idea of expensive? It's Summer. A great time to go there (as compared to Fall/Winter rates). A condo that could go for $3,000, 4,000 or even $6,000/week in Winter may be renting for $1200 to 2400/week in July. How old are you and do you want quiet or do you want to be near the...

    leave of absence

    Although you have your answer, your question seems to say "well I'm not taking a paycheck, so why can't they just give me leave like I want?" A company hires "x" number of bodies to do "x" amount of work. Your request for leave messes with that balance. Depending on the size of the company...

    indy recall

    Independence (But first a word for Uncle - sooner or later you will have to "burn a bridge" - you think you have conquered the world because you are holding ACA/Indy as a trump card - but what would happen if you suddenly decided through some warped decision-making process that you were going...

    Market Share

    Doesn't anyone know what a search engine is used for? Here you go. I would try (and this is a stretch).....the Regional Airlines Association at www.raa.org Then, you will find a little button called "Carriers and Services" Under that, there is a page called "Airline Statistics".

    Arrival and ILS question

    Ques #1 - Yes. It is the leg length of the hold. In NOS, they tell you that they want a 210KIAS speed limit at 8000 (not 230). 210 divided by 60(seconds) or one minute = 3.5miles. Huh, how about that! Ques #2 - You're an ERJ FO. There are two altitudes on the chart. The MSA at 2600 and...

    Married and Commuting

    Before the flying job, I had the wonderful opportunity to sit in Washington DC Beltway traffic for 3 hours every day (about a 90 minute commute one-way). I was the most irritable person on the planet ready to tear my steering wheel off on most days. So, then I got a flying job and joined a...

    King Air 90 ELT Arm?

    Thanks mike1 for the "official" stuff although it still leaves me asking well what does this switch look like and which way would I move it? So I think Hung has the best answer which is where I was going if I couldn't find help. Screwdriver, check. Flashlight, check. Nightwatchman, asleep...

    King Air 90 ELT Arm?

    ...Attention Deficiency Syndrome - i.e. like a loud clock ticking in the background, I shouldn't pay it any attention yet I want to scream at the **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** thing. So any 90 'experts' out there? It's on the pre-flight checklist - it says "ELT... Arm" -...

    It's time...

    You know I read threads like this and wonder. Why do you guys try so hard to overthrow all the rules of economics and business? You can't just "raise the prices" - your customers will go away and before you jump on this sentence there are a number of ways to create a rise in prices but none of...

    Mesa and Delta...It's official

    I know it was a long time ago, but does anyone remember back in 2000 when Trans States was a DCI carrier? You know why they were replaced? Also, the article says that Mesa's 50 seat CRJ's are going to fulfill the role that the old ACJet J328's did? So, a Mesa CRJ is going to do: CVG-DAY...

    Couple basic questions

    Law: Think the author was being funny about V1. What he was referring to is the desire of overzealous instructors to "simulate" an engine failure on takeoff. Doing this at 100 agl in an Apache, Seminole or Seneca which may be just marginally above Vmc and no where near a Vsse or Vyse speed...

    Independence Info?

    What don't you know? Bad news: -Approx 700 pilots furloughed (almost everyone who held FO) -Approx 300 CA's displaced back to FO seat with pay cut -All Jetstreams (J32, J41), Dorniers (J328) and 20 CRJ's are gone -Potential for 8 more CRJ's to disappear -Stock price down to .70 and has been...

    Turbo vs. Non-Turbo

    1 -Turbo will increase maint costs and fuel expense a bit. There are more moving parts and more tubing so there are extra things that can go wrong. (See #2) Running at 8000 - 10,000 and just using the boost will raise your fuel consumption without the benefit of high altitude. 2 - Quite...

    Visual Profile

    Landing Gear first - CRJ Is it my imagination or am I the only person who has gotten "GEAR DISAGREE" when trying the "gear first" option on a CRJ without the reach for the hydraulics panel? On the older models, those #3 ACMPS (pumps) aren't as frisky as a newer airplane. Supplying hydraulic...

    New AA Unlimited J/S carriers

    Well AA73, Maybe you should note to your folks that Independence (flyi, the old ACA) is and has been unlimited jumpseats to every other 121 carrier on the planet including a LOT of your guys! Would be nice if you could reciprocate because it sure does feel pretty lousy to be standing at a...

    unusually sick the first year?

    wahoo, The answer is yes. What do you think? You are in a tin can with big old fans recirculating the air being shared by every living being onboard. So yes, you will be sick as a dog your first year. The good news is that while you feel miserable, you will build up a huge amount of...

    Fueling with fwd door open?

    I think the specific verbage will be in your Ops Specs. If you are looking for the general rule in 14 CFR: § 121.570 Airplane evacuation capability. (b) Each certificate holder shall ensure that, at all times passengers are on board prior to airplane movement on the surface, at least one...
