How do you guys force yourself to sleep during the day after a late flight followed by a red eye the next night?
I lay around all day trying to force myself to sleep after having slept from the night before. It's stressful and makes for an exhausting return leg.
Anyone see how I can be on retainer with two companies?
I am essentially a part-time pilot for several places but there are two who want to put me on a retainer. I am thinking that it would be about 5 days for each company, so I know that it is doable, but I can't seem to think through the...
Hey guys. I have never had a "new" SIC before. It has always been a co-captain situation. I am going off in a new plane with a guy who isn't typed yet and was wondering how you handle getting him SIC qual'd. He is a former jet guy and will be going to school for his type shortly, but in the mean...
Sorry, didn't know where to ask this....
I flew a jump plane today with a PT-6 up front in your face, and I am curious if anyone who has flown something like this was overwhelmed by the exhaust smell in the cockpit. I am historically sensitive to this smell, but man. I searched all over the net...
Anyone have any leads on training software or books for the Collins 3000 FMS?
I am too cheap to pay $400 for a course from Collins and was hoping that someone had one laying around to sell or share.
Garmin's is free and Universal mailed me things in the past on their dime....not so much for...
My apologies to the United that had to go around tonight because of me at IAD. But come on, give a guy a break. I didn't do it on purpose (this is in respose to his nice "Thanks XXX" on the air).
I have been flying the King Air so much and hadn't been in the jet for a month and a half and I...
Does anyone have a Flight Safety manual handy and time to spare to shoot me the stall/recovery profiles for E90 stalls?
I went to Simcom (gag me) and the manual they sent me home with has nothing in there. I know I can muddle my way through a general setup and recovery, but it would be nice to...
I just found out that I am being sent to King Air school at the end of this summer down at Simcom.
I have been spoiled by pretty state-of-the-art sims in all of my past training and understand that the 90 sim isn't even a motion sim. Anyone confirm this? And if you can, if you have experience...
Hey guys, I ususally stay at the Airport Hilton when I go to Flight Safety in Wichita. I probably will again, but since this is initial training and lasts almost two weeks, it is going to hurt my wallet!!
Anyone recommend any other nearby hotels that don't suck? The nice thing about the Hilton...
I have a 340 and there is this guy who wants me to fly with him for his 25 hours of dual so he can fly a 340 for some guy.
Thing is, I am willing to help this guy out, but I am not totally fond of him. I am expecially NOT fond of the broker he is working through and I think they will be...

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Doctors have amputated the left leg of a co-pilot whose plane crashed on takeoff after turning onto the wrong runway, and he does not remember the accident that killed 49 people, his family...
oooopsie.....:blush:
I am a turbine guy but I have a piston twin. Today was the first time that I actually feathered the engine and shut it down (on the ramp)....DOH!
I was freaking out trying to remember why I might not be able to unfeather it at startup because I remember SOMETHING from...
Alright gentlemen....for an air ambulance, which King Air would be your choice and why?
I think the 350 is out of the said budget, but the guys are pretty set on a King Air....so 90, 100, 200 or 300 and why?
Thanks
