1900 flying question

[shamrock]

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.

Our procedures are for the PNF (in this case the Capt) to place the prop levers full forward after touchdown

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.

Do you have any time in the 1900D? If not then shut the F@!# up! The plane can be a handfull in a strong gusty crosswind.

 

[KeroseneSnorter]

Dang fellas, even a 73 can be landed with one hand with a total hyd. failure and a heavy stick!!!!!

Seems to be a very odd and unsafe procedure for a 1900.

 

[NEDude]

Guys, just close the doors.

From the looks of your profile, I have more time in the 1900 than you have total. The airplane is not a handful in strong gusty crosswinds. It may be a little more difficult with the interconnect, but it can be done easily with one hand on the yoke, and the other on the PLs.

Guys, just close the doors

Excellent advice!

 

[TopGun-MAV]

yes a good question indeed. the practice you saw in the cockpit is typical of the less experienced pilots. which airline?

just my dads 2 cents

 

[labbats]

Top Gun you've stopped being interesting and offensive. Time to change your handle again.

 

[deez_nutz2000]

Based on TopGun's TT, looks like he's "Continental Connection" maybe, or somewhere else where he is paying for that unbeatable 121 time.

 

[deskjobssuck]

Aw jeez, man. Don't go knocking all of us Continental Connection carriers. I can't speak for Gulfstream because I've never had any experience with them, but I know that CommutAir and Skywest are top-notch carriers. Sure, CommutAir is a funny little airline, but its a good company and they hire good people. I really enjoy working for them.

As far as topgun's comment about less experienced pilots goes, sure, we aren't hiring 10,000 hour pilots. However, they do enter the system well trained and ready to go. It is a long reach all the way across the Beech cockpit to thse power levers and if you don't have long arms and don't have your groove on in the plane yet, it can be a little tough to handle the plane in a lot of wind. Like I said before, I don't agree with the practice, but if it makes them more comfortable until they figure things out, go for it.

 

[deez_nutz2000]

Deskjob,

Didnt mean to attack Connection.....just was referring to one in particular. Not the honest ones.
