Professional pilots have very little patience for those who believe that theirs is the only opinion that matters.

PK-RJG or PK-RGJ I believe. Now who is "just talking out of your ignorant, bloated backside?" And the crew calling it a "tech stop for fuel" after loading up 2 pax out of KSMO made it pretty obvious to me

There is *no* operational limitation requiring a fuel stop for that trip. WTF is a "tech stop"???

why they were going to Page. How can you possibly think that you know every trip that every Legacy does in the world? This crew stopped for fuel, that's all that I know.

Oh but I *do* know. Even the woeful "P" model can do that trip without a fuel stop. It is clear u don't know much where EMBs are concerned.

Take a look at www.legacydriver.com and run the E T/O numbers for a trip out of KSMO. Bear in mind airport-specific #s are far more favorable. Even the generic #s show the airplane woulda' made it fine.

(I asked for the N # so I can get the s/n and thus config info for an accurate rebuttal.)

I have no idea if they could have made it 100 nm from destination, or whether they could only make it a few hundred miles from KSMO, but I do know that they stopped for fuel.

No, you don't know. I can assure you they had to drop someone or pick someone then grabbed cheap gas on the way. No need whatsoever to make that stop purely for fuel.

You probably did fly KSMO - KTEB. But not everyone is comfortable going out of an airport that requires more runway than you've got, or landing in KTEB with 1,100 lbs of fuel.

Nice chain yank. Totally inaccurate.

Yes, because the shortest runway at KEWR, rwy 29, at 6800' is so much shorter than 7,000 feet.

That was a typo on my part. My brain outran my fingers or something. KEYW. Key West, FL. 4800' as I recall.

 

[LegacyDriver]

He was?!?!

No, I was not. I quit. If I actually cared enough to try I could login and say hello, but I won't because I don't. Many of the people I respect left and I'm glad to join them.

If you doubt me ask Josh or Mark (SPXDriv*r or F*lconC*pt -- trying to bypass FI filter). I am friends with both. If I were banned I wouldn't be asked regularly to come back.

I walked away from the place because G200 is a tool who runs all over that board like a deranged lunatic, completely unchecked. U*L78 and I had some very strong words via PM and I told him what he could do with himself. Haven't been back since. I'm sure the mods will share with you the terse "goodbye" I sent U78 since he later shared it with all of them (another bone of contention I have--namely that PMs should be kept *private*).

I quit message boards entirely until Rum dragged me into this conversation (the impending death of which I am eagerly anticipating so I can return to self-imposed exile--all these boards do for me is generate stomach acid).

As for "only opinion that matters," I'd like to know what makes anyone believe I think that way? I just defend what I know in the hope objective folks will see through all the baseless bashing. If the Legacy were half as bad as the nameless msg board pot stirring minions would have you believe it would have ceased production six years ago.

Do you really not know what that means?

Untrue.....so, as you so eloquently put it in post #158

shut the f*** up already.

 

[LegacyDriver]

I guess not as I've never heard it used by anyone until now... Must be a Jeopardy question.


Then again, I don't know how to land in a crosswind either apparently.

 

[LegacyDriver]

Oh? So they finally reined him inover there? Wow. About time. That explains why he's lifting his leg over here again...

Zzzzzz....

 

[LegacyDriver]

At least now I know what "tech stop" means. Had to ask five guys before someone knew. Slang for fuel stop. Obviously not industry-wide. Sounds about as redundant as saying "with you" when checking on with ATC.

Then again, I never had to make a fuel stop and if I did not sure why I would tell clearance...

 

[hgi2006]

All this rant and you honestly never heard of a "tech stop"

There's a voice of experience huh?

:erm:

Its amazing you can continue to drag this out and make yourself look so unprofessional. Why?

Its also a shame its now no secret who you work for...they must be embarrassed!



and yes, Legacy Driver was banned from P.P.W.
The only person to have that honor.

This from the guy who "once rode in a demo on a Legacy" and thinks he knows more about it than a guy with nearly 4,000 hours in it? Rrrrriiiiiiiiiight.

In my informal survey conducted today in search of the answer, only 15% of respondents had any idea what "tech stop" meant. The one who did said it is a "dispatcher term." Can't say I'm too upset about not knowing the meaning of this obscure phrase. That being said, my immense popularity and ability to generate hits on any thread in which I deem to grace with my presence means that, soon, everyone in aviation will know what a "tech stop" is.

(Yes, I do have quite a warped self-image. LOL!)

:erm:

:erm:

This from the crowd that calls me "whacko," "asshat," "insane," "crappy pilot," etc..?? HA! Surely you jest.

Its also a shame its now no secret who you work for...they must be embarrassed!

My bosses have far more important things on their plate that what some message board sh*t-stirrer says about me.

That's a negative. I can give you Josh's cell phone number if you want to call and ask him yourself.

Maybe I will have to poke my head in over there and say hello/goodbye. Then again, why do I care to jump through hoops for a hypocrite?

Legacy....chill man, he was obviously jerking your chain...

I don't think so, sir. But if he is, then it's quite funny that he would cast judgment upon *MY* professionalism. (See his previous post.) ^

 

[LegacyDriver]

PK-RKG is an "E" engine model FL410-capable Legacy, S/N 969, which makes it the equivalent of the Legacy 600. (All airplanes after S/N 854 or 870-something are. The first "Legacy 600" equivalent--with only minor deviations--I flew was S/N 939 so 969 is as well). They did not stop for fuel due to any operational limitation on the aircraft, period.

S/N 699 was based out of KSMO for quite a stretch and they didn't do "tech stops" to go to Chicago or New York...

 

[LegacyDriver]

I have just got off the phone with an individual who has verified that you are banished from the other site. At this point, I'm calling you to the plate, LD. Logon over there and prove that you're not banished.

IMO, your credibility is at risk. If you logon, you prove that you're probably an honest character. If you fail to logon, you prove that you're probably not an honest character, and most everything else that you say should be disregarded too.

The ball is in your court.

HA, right. Who did you call? Just wondering. Hmmmmmmmmm.........

Like I said, why do I care what *YOU* think?

How about responding to the point posted above about the performance of the airplane you just bashed with your ill-informed assertion (or was it a lie?) ?

 

[LegacyDriver]

I will post the screenshot. Go ahead, I am logged in over there waiting for your arrival.

Don't wait today cuz I'm not going to get around to it anytime soon, especially on a PDA...

Still trying to decide if it is worth my time, honestly. You say, "Jump!" and I jump? That's not how I feel like leading my life thanks...


Who did you talk to?

Post a screen name.

 

[LegacyDriver]

It doesn't matter who I talked to. The fact is, it was someone in a position to give me the details of your banning.

Post the name or STFU.

Only two people over there have that authority and they haven't done it. (And if they do I could care less, let's get that straight.)

The onus is on you to prove what you're saying is true. At this point, your argument is weak and easy to see through.

Prove what to whom?

I already posted the EMBRAER PERFORMANCE DATA to prove everything I have said about the Legacy is true and you won't believe it. Why should I tilt at *THIS* particular windmill?

What's your USERID over there any way? PM me with it.

Look, LD... we all know that you're not the most sane, level headed, or honest character.

Is that a fact? Now I'm insane? Nice.
