    Back to flight instructing

    Stick back until clear of the hold short lines. There's no "nosewheel" landing to prep for in the fixed-gear single engine trainers.

    Key Lime Air--New updates?

    How do you know that those complaining haven't already filed FAA complaints? Pilots tend not to brag about this particular action. FAA Investigations in progress are not a matter of public record. Nor do we know how many complained and were themselves threatened with violations should they not...

    "bird Strike" Faa

    Rumor from reliable sources within a certain investigation says that the birds were squawking before the mid-air with the airliner. Some suggest they were honking, too. I'm thinking we need to start painting bald eagles and/or hawks in full spread across the noses of aircraft, or maybe border...

    What do you say when people ask who you work for?

    "I work in aviation safety." You can be in full pilot (or mechanic) drag, and the only follow up question might be, "do you fly?" The conversation stops with "Occasionally, but it's more paperwork than anything." Anyone can relate to paperwork, thus you can continue the conversation with...

    A&P school suggestions

    There's a school at KVNY (Van Nuys, CA) that will do it in the accelerated timeframe and for very cheap, even less than the $20 per credit hour I believe. Look under Los Angeles Adult School (or Vo-Tech) schools and their website should come up. Best of luck!

    Flight Instructor Airplane Limitations in a Sim/Training Device

    For the sake of your certificate(s) and from some of the incorrect information given in this thread, I'd suggest writing a letter requesting an interpretation of "authorized instructor" for instrument training, instrument knowledge endorsement, and IPC endorsements, and getting the FAA's...

    Flight Instructor Airplane Limitations in a Sim/Training Device

    You're missing the Practical Test Standards. If a CFI-Airplane wants to give "instrument instruction" in an FTD/simulator, either get the Instrument Rating added to the CFI certificate, the IGI, or AGI. It's one computerized test, either AGI or IGI, that as an active instructor, you can...

    MEI Questions

    In a few months time, every multiengine trainer available for rent at KVNY crashed. Different instructors, different students, most pilot error, and the one mechanical, that pilot shoulda rejected the aircraft. Light twin training is not for the complacent, sloppy, or careless, unless you are...

    CFI/II Lesson Plans

    Your condescending attitude and overwhelming desire to piss on everybody has grown old and boring. Welcome to my ignore list.

    Multi Time Building

    Read their agreement, then consider carefully what it means when their airplane breaks down in the middle of east bumf. And notice they don't mention their rate anywhere on their website, but expect non-refundable money orders or bank wire transfers for payment.

    Air Ambulance Intel

    If you do emergency transport long enough, you'll either destroy yourself or learn to live with death. One thing that has helped in dealing with critical cases, never follow up. The dude you did CPR on, don't follow up to see if the guy survived the night. The heart transport, don't research...

    Beware of (little johnny)cockpit visitors

    I liked the fact about the cabin door circuit breaker... at least you guys have a door.

    Cockpit Etiquette

    Immediately look to the other crew member and gasp, "was that you???" in an accusatory tone as you grab the O2 mask. Knowledge of your systems will pay off in dividends here. How quickly can you route the smell either to the other side of the cockpit, or towards the unsuspecting passengers? If...

    Mustang Type Rating

    Yes. You take a checkride with either a DPE qualified to give rides in the Mustang, or you go up with the Feds to get a checkride. If your local FSDO doesn't have time, perhaps a nearby FSDO does. The ride is to the PTS for the ATP & Type Rating. The FAA Inspector that was my examiner for a...

    Do LOI's ever end "nicely"?

    For your friend, using "your" to mean any pilot that has received an LOI, an LOI with your name on it will always end badly, no matter the outcome. If you're really lucky you will have gained or learned something from which you can make "lemonade from lemons". If you exonerate yourself, you'll...

    Illegal charter

    There may have been some instruction going on, but probably not flight-related. It sounds more like a "scenic" flight as the hooker was most certainly looking out the window; one "member" tends to look a lot like another no matter who is holding it. Thus the pilot would be subject to a...

    NASA form question

    One month or so for the receipt. Print out the confirmation when you submit as that will work as well as the receipt, plus, it has the benefit of no self-incriminating words on the "event type" block. I like to put down something like "pilot fun", "student fun" or "airplane fun" on the event...

    Expressjet announcement today

    Pilots are, and always will be, a cost unit. Engineers and sales people can make the company money. Gate agents, flight attendents, and ticket agents can deliver customer service and directly impact the customer satisfaction and future purchases. They can help managers grow empires with...
