ASA ATR Displacements Begin!

[centralpilot]

Where are they doing initial ground training? FSI or the new GO?

My memo says 6th floor GO, but I'm not sure if that is correct. Wasn't that the training floor in the old GO? Do we still have a presence at all there?

 

[PFD1]

I am pretty sure we are all moved out of the old GO. It doesn't look like the new one has 6 floors...but maybe it does.

Is the new building even called the GO? I thought it was A-Team, oops I mean A-Tech!

 

[centralpilot]

Yeah, I'm assuming it was a stock memo that someone failed to update. I guess I'll check on that.

It seems nobody wants to bother getting a camera to take a real picture of an ATR.

Actually, I heard they have plenty of pictures of the ATR fleet. Unfortunately, there's always a mechanic in the snap shot.

Off topic, anyone had a loft recently? I have one coming up and was wondering what the "theme" is these days.

 

[PooPooPants]

Have you enroute charts out, good chance of v and J route changes and stuff like that.

Is it still sick pax into Albany for the LOC/BC DME arc, No radar with flaps fail?

I assumed correctly. Training is now in a classroom in A-Tech.

Why don't you walk over and pick up the phone and call the training dept?

I'm bringing my old NAVCOM to the sim.

I did. See four posts up.

got this + TCAS RA, and low vis takeoff last month.

 

[~~~^~~~]

You must have got T L, he likes to throw the RA in at low altitude to see if you'll dive for the dirt then get the "terrain terrain" at 1,500 AGL then zoom back into a climb.

Fun times.

How soon until those ATRs are made into beer cans? Really, they are an embarrassment. They stink too, and are slow and get in the way.

Beer cans? Try beer coolers, coozies and children's toys. The tupperware death tube is mostly made of composites, ahem', plastic.

I expect FedEx's Mountain Air Cargo unit will grab these and someday when we fly 787's to the desert someone will come pick us up in 630AS.

Got the ABY B/C approach with a dec perf windshear on short final and a flaps fail on retraction. However, once we started the descent, the fuel totalizer "failed" at some point beyond the TOC checkpoint, so we diverted to DHN at flaps 45, but didn't catch the fact that the fuel was still about 5000 lbs indicated (we took off from ATL with 7500) until we were calculation the fuel burn wondering why we still had 5k of gas on board. Pretty tricky on that one.

I'm tentatively on for the 20th of October for training.

joy.

 

[bailout]

It's about time!! Geez,...

Ahhh....good old 630AS. I have some fond memories of that ship.....
