1900 flying question

Diesel,

I appreciate your candor in not naming times or places. Just wondering if it was on Mon, the winds were really howling throughout our system.

Just curious ... are you certian that the Capt put the aircraft into Beta? Our procedures are for the PNF (in this case the Capt) to place the prop levers full forward after touchdown. Also the aircraft has a sort of auto beta that will put the porpellers in ground idle (versus flight idle) automatically on touchdown. It makes a noticable change in both sound and deceleration. This combined with the capt putting the props forward might have looked like they were putting it in beta.

On the other note I have had FO's ask me to pull the power back for them in the flare during high crosswinds/gust situations. I'm not crazy about doing that as it generally leads to a crappy landing.

If this was in HPN, send me a PM, it was probably me, I've been rinnung the Westchester shuttle for the last couple of days.


Hey sleeve... you mean we have a "book" to follw? I'll have to go try to find mine I have a checkride next month

ha, the yeah I actually found it the other day when cleaning house up in ROC.. Part of my resignation present from Plattsburgh.

I remember white plains.They still have the two twins that flirt with everything that walks on the ramp..

Company man- Sent you a pM

I see quite a few RJ pilots who hear "50 feet", pull the thrust levers to idle, and then grab on to the yoke with both hands as if for dear life and wrestle the mighty beast to the ground.

In 4 years flying the Boeing and the Douglas around not once did I see anyone pull a "two hander" to flare.

Not saying i'm Lindbergh or anything but it's pretty funny to watch!

What's up with the ESOP? I hear that an enlightened "company" man is suggesting that people who may get money from the suit give it back so the company can grow. Sounds like a wonderful plan! I bet Joe and Mike would be happy to contribute.

What happens with a go-around, missed approach, or a balked landing? Setting max power with props at cruise setting won't get you max power, and having to push them forward during the missed isn't the best time either..

 

[FlynSuperD]

The props are not at cruise, they are set at climb setting when the gear comes down.

My two cents!!!

Diesel,

I hope you found the infromation that you wanted. I know that you were just observing our procedures during the flight but I think that you missed a lot of things. I believe that deskjobssuck has answered everything that you brought up. Our procedures are made for the safety of the passengers and I do agree that you either observed the FO asking for help in order to work the mighty beech to the ground due to winds OR the Capt. was advancing the props forward upon landing (which is exactly what our procedures say to do) as the props automatically went into ground idle.

Deskjobssuck,

Very nice explainations.


labbats,

I really think you are missing the point of this thread. Someone asked about the procedures of a certain airline. You had to go off on your own and start bashing our pay. I suppose if you were to fly a BE-1900D you would be paid what B-777 captains do!!! I mean hell, that is what ALPA would get you, right?

Well, you will never know, will you?

 

[beechball23]

Ouch, that hurt, really.

 

[chperplt]

Well, you will never know, will you?

Coming from an RJ pilot, that really means a lot...

Go back to England and learn how to drive on the correct side of the road you hoser!

 

[labbats]

I have no problem with the low pay, hell it's an improvement over what I make now. But let's keep the pilot attrition complaints to ourselves, ok?

Why doesn't anyone read my whole posts?

WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The most important thing is that they made it to happy hour

2 hands on the yoke....rhymes with Roanoke. Sound familiar? Mesa...ERJ145....stall....substantial damage....keep a hand on the Power Levers. It's not a DC3....it's a 15000 lb plane that handles fine. Even the J32 could be landed with one hand.
