Surviving red eyes
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.- dhc8fo

Monthly Retainer...
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... -

Breaking in a new SIC...help
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... -

Exhaust Gases overwhelming me
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...- dhc8fo

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... -
Need your help with King Air E90
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... -
Simcom for the King Air
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... -
Tell me about a good Wichita hotel for Flight Safety
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...- dhc8fo

My major faux pas today
