Training class

Hey Fellas ( and Gals if it applies) I have a training date in January, and this thread has really pumped me up. I am looking forward to all of the training that will be provided, but I understand that I only get out of it what I put in. ( rumor control...someone told me there is signing bonus after passing the sim, true?) I thought it was a bunch of crap.

I went into Mobie Downtown and saw a crap load of Barons, but I didn't know if any were out of Birmingham.

When I went through, no signing bonus after the sims. Long time ago I think, but not right now (unless they changed recently). After training, you will feel confident in going out in the worst weather by yourself. The program is great and weeds out any weaknesses you might have.

What's the legality with landing when its reported below mins? I understand it's the PIC to determine the flight visibility but doesn't it raise a flag to the FAA if one out of 4 aircraft make it in?

Just wondering, not trying to start a flame here, just wondering what the FAA's take is on it.

My buddy went to airnet, based in Teterboro, flies 3 to 4 days a week and is pulling in some nice $$. He echo's the same 8 months to upgrade to SIC in the lear. He went there because he didn't have much multi time. If night time freight is for you definately go for it, its a great place (from what I hear 2nd hand) to work.

Well first of all, who says the other three pilots flew good approaches? Second, just because others go missed doesn't mean that the next will. The cloud bases may be jagged or you may just get lucky and get to the bottom of the approach at the right time. I've had to go missed many times behind aircraft that have gotten in, and I've also gotten in behind those that have missed ahead of me. It just depends on timing sometimes. And remember, all you need is the approach lights to continue an approach to 100' above touchdown, from there I've usually gotten in.

But in Guillotine007's case... he's just... ah... really good!

CFO4Life, I guess I was referring to the 1800 RVR as posted by atldc9. Would this have an effect on the FAA's view of it? If the RVR is reporting 1800 but the pilot says he had 1/2 mile vis, who would prevail?

Of course Guillotine is good at spotting the approach lights. He has a keen eye for spotting airport lights and signage. (Inside joke) Just messing with ya guillotine. See ya in CMH.

I still think they should have let you keep the sign. Hang it on your wall at home or somthing.
