    297 grace month

    That...is not true! You're medical expires on the last day of the anniversary month in which it was issued...6 months, 12, etc. And, unlike training events covered in the quote I provided above, if you get your medical a month early, the next one expires on the last day of the 6 month, 1 year...

    Nassau this weekend.

    The Hilton is pretty decent. Right on the corner of Nassau town, walking distance to everything in town. I second the notion of taking a cab(s). If you were staying longer I'd recommend renting a scooter for some sightseeing. But if you're there for just one night, it's pretty much going...

    Hobby Crash?

    You might ask yourself that question when you're the one going around, and explaining it to your boss, because the guy on runway 19 at TEB rolled to the end to avoid a little extra braking. Or if you're the one who's #30 in line for take-off and the launch rate is agonzingly slow because...

    PAN-AM B707 Movie

    Man...talk about the Golden Years of aviation! It's amazing how little progress has been made in a positive direction since 1954, and how much we've moved in the wrong direction, isn't it?

    What can't you do after age 60?

    There's currently another over 60 limitation...you can't fly as PIC anywhere out of the country on any commercial flight. That means Part 121 or 135, scheduled or unscheduled. The rule is an ICAO rule. I can quote if if anyone cares. ICAO has made some noises about voting to amend the age...

    135/91 Interview

    You made my day Ace. It's been a looooong time since anyone called me a youngster. :D

    297 grace month

    The answer is yes. Here's the source: Sec. 135.301 Crewmember: Tests and checks, grace provisions, training to accepted standards. (a) If a crewmember who is required to take a test or a flight check under this part, completes the test or flight check in the calendar month before or after...

    Delta pilots to strike?

    Talk about deja vu all over again! This thread rings soooooo familiar. If I'd saved the the threads from the ALPA bulletin board circa 1988/89, this would sound like an instant replay. Only the paint job and the names have changed. Good luck to the Delta guys. You're going to need it. My...

    135/91 Interview

    Belive it or not, I don't know. I just drive the airplane. :)

    Ejm

    I knew two guys who were former EJM float pilots. They both were given a year with pay to find another job. But they'd been with EJM for a long time. 19 years in one guy's case. That may have made a difference. I think it's safe to say that with any management company when your specific...

    135/91 Interview

    Well, if you're going to be a 135 pilot, I'd suggest you actually read Part 135 start to finish. A few times. How better to familiarize yourself with the regs under which you will be operating? There are numerous significant differences between a Part 91 and Pat 135 oepration. Even if...

    Ejm

    It's my understanding that the Beechjet pilots EJM is hiring will be part of a "float" team. EJM had a float operation for years up until about 2 or 2 1/2 years ago. Back then it consisted of Falcon 20's (I think) and it's sole purpose was backup lift for NetJets. After disbanding the float...

    Electronic flightbags?

    We use two Fujitsu 4000 tablet PC's as EFB's. Each has Jeppview/FlightDeck installed on it. We still subscribe to paper enroute charts and probably will indefinitely. But we no longer get paper approach charts. We have world wide coverage. We get revisions every two weeks on CD, or you can...

    Are you nuts?

    No, Diesel, you'll have to find those at some other truck stop.

    JeppView FliteDeck Update ?@%$*

    6 months or so ago I noticed lots of details missing from the Jeppview enroute charts. I contacted Jeppesen tech support and was told that the Jeppview enroute data base was incomplete and they were working on it. No ETC. You'd think they'd have some big disclaimer that you'd have to...

    JeppView FliteDeck Update ?@%$*

    The advantage of the new approach plate display is in split mode the thing is actually big enough to read. The old full plate view usually required zooming in, at least a little, and then scrolling around the plate to the area you needed to see. We've discovered that in split mode you can...

    Engine Failure in Flight

    You guys may appreciate the procedure an instructor I knew years ago used to teach for dealing with an engine failure in a single engine airplane at night: Upon engine failure at night: 1) Set up for best rate of glide speed. 2) Head for an area that looks suitable for landing. 3) Check...

    737 Type

    Your ire, in this case, is misplaced. All the FAA is doing is coming in to line with the rest of the world. You can thank the ICAO, and probably the influence of the French, for this change. My understanding is, btw, that you'd only need an SIC type rating if you fly internationally. If...
