    Tips on flying an Eclipse?

    I know ... I know ... it's little, it's broken, it's this and it's that ... but I will be flying right seat on one next week and wondered if anyone had any tips to help a newbie lessen the learning curve. My previous experience has been Barons and King Airs and I've never flown a jet, nor do I...

    Eagle FO CLT to MIA on 2/2 ...

    February 2nd I'm trying to leave from CLT with the wife for a long overdue vacation to Miami with the in-laws (mean-arsed Cubanos :laugh: ). My father-in-law is flying in from Mexico to MIA about the same time we were, he's nowhere to be found, mom-in-law is calling wifey every five minutes in a...

    CLT to LGW and back ... thanks for a good ride US Air!

    Last week I flew the nonstop CLT --> LGW and back with US Air and given my mostly negative experiences with airline flying the last few years, and all the mud slinging here of late, I just wanted to post something a little more positive and give US Air it's due. Both flights were on time, the...

    I need to rent a C150 or 152 Aerobat and an aerobatics instructor for a few hours anywhere near CLT, GSO, INT, RDU, etc., in late September or early October. Been searching around the net and have come up empty-handed thus far.

    (Very) small company's first SE airplane ... which one?

    Supposing the boss at your fulltime, non-flying job is starting to ask questions about owning a plane, as your (owner's and manager's) time start to become tighter and tighter. He doesn't have enough money to buy into the small local 'fractionals' with King Airs and Barons (where I fly on...

    Part-time Baron work still available in GSO if you've been to school on the B58.

    The small fractional group I tag along with is still having a hard time finding contract B58 guys with a Simcom or Flight Safety school in the past 12 months. If you're retired or otherwise available part-time near GSO and have been to school on the B58 (must be the 58, and insurance will NOT...

    Trimming a B200 for proper flare, what if you GA?

    Dumb newbie question time ... I've stopped trying to muscle the King Air into a proper flare with one arm, and have finally learned to stop being such a punk on the trim switch. I really roll it in. But I wondered, if I had to go-around just before touchdown, would I have to stand on the...

    NetJets DA2000 in GSO yesterday ...Thanks!

    Met a NetJets crew at P-H in GSO yesterday while waiting for our passengers. The FO gave me a tour of their Falcon 2000, which was a very cool experience, and answered all my newbie questions. They even turned on the APU and let me sit up front while explaining the modern avionics and systems. I...

    Enlisted Crew to WO/Pilot in the Guard?

    I don't like to assume, so I'll ask: Has anyone here, or does anyone here know someone who has ... transitioned from enlisted crew to a flying position in the National Guard? Did it help the process to be a 15T/15R/15S first, or was that a negative (I don't wanna assume)? Danke Schon ...

    I'm back in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I had to share this with someone, and the old hippies and young slackers in my office could care less. So it might as well be you guys :D : After a week of phoning, emailing, begging, and pleading, I just found out that I am, indeed, eligible for re-enlistment into the US Army (RA), National...

    Age limit raised to 52 for prior service for guard?!?

    I read on another forum that the National Guard had raised the age limits to 32 for no prior service, and to 52 for prior service, and that this applied to Army Aviation slots as well. :eek: Is this true, or is someone misunderstanding something? If true ... I will be camped out in the...

    Taxiing a B200 (the 'lag') ... tricks?

    I realize most of you guys have already moved way past the King Air, and you probably consider it a very simple and easily-flown aircraft. And I think so. too. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so if I can hand-fly it thru all phases of flight it can't be too hard. :D However ...

    "Airline DNA" for a career-corp wannabe?

    I've read a few references to one possibly being stained by the wrong "DNA" for a desired career track, and so I had a hypothetical question: Since I want to work corporate or corp/charter (though I still harbor a bit of a childhood dream of flying a 747 before I die ... even if it's from an...
