Anyone got an MU-2 L or Marquise POH I can copy?

Any of you computer pilots got anything you are willing to share? Taking my first flight in one on Sunday for a possible job and was hoping to find out something about them prior to the flight (don't worry, I know all the BAD stuff...)

Thanks guys!

It's bad if you know stuff on your own.

Pilot Says He's Not To Blame For Fatal Crash

Matthew Sullivan says he wasn't flying the plane or acting as an instructor at the time of the crash.

Rock Hill, SC -- The Ohio man who federal officials say was the pilot in a Rock Hill plane crash claims he is being wrongly blamed for the July accident. Two passengers died in that crash.

Matthew Sullivan, 24, of Dublin, Ohio, told federal investigators he doesn't remember the flight or the crash. But he says he wasn't flying the plane or acting as a flight instructor.

The National Transportation Safety Board blamed the accident on fuel mismanagement by the pilot.

Passengers Eric "Ted" Johnson, a Rock Hill native, and Ohio dentist Doctor Bill Coulman died in the crash and Sullivan was seriously injured.

Johnson was coming to Rock Hill for a Northwestern High School class reunion. Sullivan says he met Johnson for the first time at the airport.

Sullivan said he was invited by Coulman, the plane's owner, to be a passenger on the flight and didn't know that Johnson wasn't qualified to fly a plane using just the instruments. Sullivan is a qualified instrument flight rules pilot.

"Dr. Coulman owned the plane, filed the flight plan and made the decision as to who would fly the aircraft," Sullivan wrote to the NTSB.

"Mr. Johnson actually flew the plane knowing he did not have the certification or authority to do so. It would be an injustice to blame me for their errors."

Federal officials refused to respond to Sullivan's claims.

The Federal Aviation Administration, which has enforcement and pilot licensing authority, investigated Sullivan, but took no action against him, Southern region spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.

NTSB spokeswoman Lauren Peduzzi said both agencies show that Sullivan was flying the plane at the time of the accident and that the other two people were passengers. The NTSB has closed its investigation of the crash, Peduzzi said.

Sullivan can appeal the NTSB ruling. "I was strictly a passenger," he said

Ok, I have NO idea what that is supposed to mean. Helpful as always though, aren't you?

They invited you for an intro flight, correct? Ride along, be the best commercial pilot you can be, be cordial, be professional. But don't be caught crawling out of the wreckage with an aircraft manual in your flight bag.

If they want to hire you, they'll send you to school...that is, if they are a reputable operator.

You're asking someone else to do something else...copy a flight manual. I don't know if that's copyright infringement or not, it most likely isn't. But, you are including them in the liability loop.

Just go to the flight and be yourself...it's their job to train you, not your job.

OK, don't get this. I always have a flight manual in my bag for the plane I am flying. Luckily I haven't had to crawl out of any wreckage.

If they want to hire you, they'll send you to school...that is, if they are a reputable operator.

As a matter of fact, they are reputable and I will be going to Howell in TN if I take the job. So are you saying just because they haven't trained me yet that I can't look at the systems or the checklist or the POH? This is just stupid on your part.

You're asking someone else to do something else...copy a flight manual. I don't know if that's copyright infringement or not, it most likely isn't. But, you are including them in the liability loop.

OH PLEASE DUDE.

I am not asking someone to "copy" a flight manual. I asked if anyone happened to have anything to share...such as a checklist, a POH, whatever. RELAX. So if I could check one out of the library does that make them liable?

Please...

Yes, it's the company's job to train an applicant. But it's also the applicant's job to come prepared as much as he/she can. I've done more than a handful of new-hire eval rides for CP at my old job and it was amazing to see how many of them didn't bother to prepare one bit. Never bothered to read the POH (which was lent to them in advance), or to look up charts, A/FD, & approach plates to become familiar with local area, and so on. And the most common excuse I've heard was "It's the company's job to train me, not mine." Not being prepared for a potential job interview shows both a lack of interest and a lack of professionalism.

Best of luck to dhc8fo. BTW, if you look up Howell's web site at www.mu2b.com you'll see some useful info such as V-speeds and specs.

Correct, I recall a guy in initial training, the advice had been given not to read anything prior to training, don't read ahead during training. In the mean time the rest of us were having study sessions, stump the dummy sessions, hack into the training ctr computer sessions, well, we all passed and this guy never made it through Fixed Base training, too far behind the curve.
