    Airnet Interview

    An exerpt from one of the Avweb articles: "Icing from above (freezing rain) is a component of the natural selection process. Out west, those conditions occur perhaps a couple times a year. The pilots who fly in those conditions are eliminated from the aviator gene pool and you no longer have...

    Airnet Interview

    Judging from the bravado, I doubt that any of you heroic pilots have ever actually flown in freezing rain. It might have been forecast or reported, but it probably was very, very light or didn't exist. You wouldn't be here making light of it if you had. A light twin in moderate freezing rain...

    All Airline Pilots MUST READ

    "crj200fo, That is the dumbest post I have read on this board. The free market won't work in the airlines. Thank you for enlightning me comrade." Have to agree with your observation, jon210. Actually, we're seeing the free market working very well. The efficient carriers are prospering and...

    One small problem

    Don't even think of using a letter of recommendation from an enlisted person. This would be viewed much the same as a prospective prison guard presenting a letter of recommendation from a prisioner. In the military culture, the enlisted folks are viewed by most officers as something a little...

    Logging time in the Hawk AST 300

    Timebuilder: I think B-J-J Fighter was just doing a little spoofing.

    Part 91 Charter?

    "If that's not 91 charter, I don't know what is. And... If it's "illegal", there are a couple of dozen former employees of that flight school who are now airline pilots who are in quite a bit of trouble, myself included." Mr Freley, what you describe are not charter flights. Apparently, the...

    Logging PIC as SIC

    Guys, it's not a loophole in the regulations. It's there because the writers of the regulation wanted it there. This is one of the most misunderstood regulations on the books, and with good reason. Most (but not all) airline interviewers expect PIC time to be defined as the flight time when...

    CFI renewal question

    CFI renewal question Do you still have the temporary certificate issued by the FSDO? If so, check the expiration date typed on it. The FSDO should have renewed your certificate for 24 months when you added the gold seal, as the activity required for a gold seal also meets the requirements...

    Lean of Peak

    Don't remember the leaning procedure for anything except the 3350, but I think all large radials are run lean of peak. We always ran 3350's (with and without fuel injection) lean of peak in cruise. To not do so would have greatly reduced range. As I remember the procedure, it was: Set the...

    radial engines

    Hey crash-proof: What kind of motor do you have on that gooney? The prop is turning backward! (Or maybe it's just my computer)

    Thanks for the update guys, brings back a lot of memories.

    radial engines

    I was pretty lucky on engine reliability for sure! There's more than one crew that had as many engine failures during a trip around the pattern as I had in ten years. For avbug, or anyone else still flying the big radials: Does the use of 100 octane vs 115/145 have any effect on engine life...

    Urgent Action Required To Keep Age 60!

    DoinTime : You need to insist that your father receive a complete medical evaluation. Loss of mental agility does not normally result from aging until reaching the late eighties.

    Urgent Action Required To Keep Age 60!

    I'd like to see the reactions of the 60-99 year old Senators when they read comments about needing a babysitter.

    Urgent Action Required To Keep Age 60!

    "It is about safety. Its hard enough to baby sit a 59 year old on a four day trip, I can't imagine trying to watch a 64 year old. Face it, as you get older you slow down, mentally and physically. Can a select few do ok older than 60? Probably, but then, a select few can probably drive younger...

    Urgent Action Required To Keep Age 60!

    What the h**l does majority/minority have to do with it? I thought age 60 retirement was supposed to have something to do with medical issues, not advancement opportunities for FO's!

    radial engines

    I've got about 5000 hours of being pulled thru the air by radial engines. Everything from 985's on Twin Beeches to 3350's on Connies. Had two engine shutdowns during that time. One was due to a broken crankshaft on an 1820. That one quit without warning and the prop wouldn't feather. The...

    COMAIR vs NETJETS?

    "Somewhere on this board you said that you had "resigned", and now you're telling us that you're here and have been for 4 years......who do you think you're kidding? " Following is a post from Shaevola dated 8/30/02. His story has changed somewhat since then...

    For the ignorant

    Couple of questions for Busdrivn ace: What do you mean by "if one cable snaps you're taking a header"? Never heard of manual reversion on a computer flown Airbus. Can you elaborate? Why wouldn't the bus hit the mountain in cali? Your explanation makes no sense. The757 wasn't on approach...
