CFI with 4 stripes in Cessna 172 shows CNN how to land at SFO

[JUNK YARD DOG]

...not to mention the Signature ramp fee.

at least $140. min landing fee, then as you stated after Signature finished gouging the crap out of him, I bet he's into north of the 3 bills range.

At first I was thinking "what a joke!!" But after thinking about it I guess this is about the only way CNN can get an adequate news story from a pilot perspective actually landing in SFO. (unless they spent the $$ to do it in a private jet)

This story maybe cost them a few hundred $$...

The story with the crappy simulator pretending to be a 777 on the other hand!!!!:laugh:

The weird part of this whole discussion is that this 172 pilot apparently does know more about what keeps an aircraft aloft more than the international 777 Asiana crew. That would be lift. The Wright Brothers made a big to do about this awhile back.

Haters gonna hate, you guys are just jealous.

Ha that was funny. 172 pilot showing more airmanship than a 777 pilot.

Well I see even some pilots have jumped on board the Kardashian style investigation and drawn their conclusion of why the accident happened.

1. This is something new?
2. They stalled the plane.

Sterile cockpit, anyone?

He is flight instructing.

YES it is new. No other NTSB Chair has ever done what she has done. Then again, no other NTSB Chair is gunning for the Secretary of DOT position either.

Twitter pictuers, NTSB "tweeting" more than Kardashians, and the whole thing is a circus freak show. There used to be integrity in NTSB investigations, but this Chair has totally destroyed that concept. This is her last year at the NTSB, and this is the crash she needed to get her face/media time to make her viable for the Sec DOT job.

Does signature have 100LL?

 

[humveedriver]

It wasn't a horrible piece of news. More fun than just some former NTSB dude (Feith) or pilot (Sully) giving their two cents. If I was doing the flying and talking, I might have said " do you see the two real big white rectangles on the runway? Not the arrows.. Not the sea wall.. The big rectangles. Yeah we want to land just a smidge after that.

As was said, haters are gonna hate. People's opinion tend to define themselves more than those they are talking about. In this case the haters sure jumped on the finger pointing holier than thou bandwagon quickly.
Didn't see anything wrong with the story. At least they tried to put out what it looked like. I though the flight instructor did a nice job talking the laymen audience through it. Not sure if I could have done as well when I was at that stage in my career.

Does not apply to part 91

 

[imacdog]

Does signature have 100LL?

Yes at the introductory price of $8.44/gal

Does signature have 100LL?

They did when I was buying Jet-A... but that was three years ago. Little bitty truck.
