It will be a non-issue when the FAA finally seperates the airports and runways for use into catagories of planes!

I had to hold short in an Airbus in Sacremento yesterday for a WARRIOR!!!!! while he did a touch and go. FVCK THAT $HIT!!!!! I reported the controller to our company and I'm sure he's presently in the process of getting a giant plastic fuel tester inserted in his rectum. Retard!!!!

Calm down man. Just because your in a big bad french sewer pipe dosent mean you get preferential treatment. Didnt you learn to fly in small planes at some point in your career? Dont get your panties in a bunch. Waiting another min isnt going to kill you. Unless your paying for gas yourself, who cares?

Yikes, I hope you don't get stuck behind me at walmart...you might start throwing things to get me to hussle up!

:)
 
i thought this was a post about turboprops...why do some sheet heads always ruin a good post?

anyway...if i wouldn't have gotten furloughed i'd be flyin' one right now and lovin' it. no box to program (cause nothin's easier than vectors direct), no crossing restrictions, no stuck up captains, no mainline guy sayin' your 'taking his job', no 4 hour productivity breaks (at least where i was), and the most fun flyin' i've ever done!

don't get me wrong, i love flyin' the 170 for $22 an hour and would probably do it for less (if i was dead) but nothin' beats hearing "...you're 60kts faster than the jet in front of you". HA!! now i'll be the slow a$$ if front.

i'm jealous guys...seriously!! i'd go back in a minute just because the majority of the time i had a smile on my face for every flight.
 
Here's to taking the 1st turnoff (which is a reverse hi speed), doing 250 to the marker, getting the Metro salute every time we pull up, doing the bridge visual in SJU, and taking 30 pax into a 3000' strip. Ahh, those were fun days.

To the Turboprop man!
 
unable, we're slash alpha today. Very much like we were 2 hours ago when we were on the same route and we talked to you.

No one gets the enjoyment of the Long Island Expressway like the Saab, Beech, and Dash Drivers with grey flags on the tail. Turns around a point referencing the Empire State Bldg at 2,500'. Yeah it's fun.

Back me up Turboprop MAN

(this means you too ladies, because you are twice the stud of any 350 hr rj pilot.)
 
Nothing is more fun than buzzing mets stadium on game day because you were cleared to the numbers and told to "keep it in tight." mile and a half base to final, score was 3-2 top of the 7th, Braves.

Mets stadium???? Shea Stadium, not to be confused with some corporate goon name ie Qualcom? Minute Maid or Bank America Parks....
 
One word for y'all about why flying turboprops is cool: Beta.

Coolest sound in the world if you're making the noise, most annoying if you're not.

Why would I kid about saving hundreds of dollars in jet fuel versus some fvcking geeser practicing his approach at 80 kts to a 9,000' rwy.
No, I'm not kidding. Furthermore, don't think you have a right to train weekend warriors at the expenses of the airlines trying doing business.
Show some respect and courtesy for the industry which you work within.

Wow... you sir, are a complete and total idiot for making stupid-a$$ comments like that. Were you born into that almighty Airbus or did you actually have to learn in something a bit smaller, say a Cherokee or 172?

Actually, these lowly weekend warriors have every right to train at the same airports that you fly your 'bus into. Get over yourself, it isn't all about you. Moron.

haha fantastic! you guys crack me up!!

Man, I miss my BE-200 days....

keep m coming guys!
 
Here is to my turbo prop brothers (Super King Air 200 drivers) who keep telling their CRJ/ERJ buddies that your max service ceiling in the king air is FL350 but they just wont believe you.....
 
ORD TWR: "SAT5022 cleared to land 32L"
SAT5022: "Rog, cleared to land 32L, SAT5022"
ORD TWR: UAL14 heavy, 27L position and hold traffic, C-130 traffic short final to 32L"
(in the flare) ORD TWR: "SAT5022 can you hold short of 27L?"
SAT5022: "Sure, we're going to south cargo, can we just turn off
here at T11?"
ORD TWR, laughing: "I should've known yeah left off and stay with me to the ramp. UAL14 heavy, traffic is off 32L short of your runway, keep it rolling around the corner, cleared for takeoff"

oh yeah...turboprop.

If you take a look at a chart and approach plates you'll understand his frustration. He was complaining about a guy doing practice approaches at SMF. SAC (10 or 15nm away) is a far better place for training and practice. It's a GA field that's towered and has precision and non-precision approaches. There are also several uncontrolled fields with approaches in the same vicinity. Keep in mind airlines are restricted to a tiny percentage of airports. If I was a CFII I'd be training my students somewhere other than SMF.

Although the guy in the PA-28 had every right to be at SMF there are some great alternatives nearby. In a similar vein I don't have to cancel IFR going into an uncontrolled field on a clear night but I do it out of courtesy to the crew that's waiting for their clearance. A lot of this business is just courtesy and common sense. I get no satisfaction out of inconveniencing hundreds of people. If I can get the job done without getting in someone else's way I will.
 
Man this thread is bringin' back the memories! I miss the ole Beech. Cruising around low in the fall in upstate New York. Some of the best views I've seen yet.

And Beta!

:D
 
Here's to you TurboProp FO...since your mighty 19-seater doesn't have a bathroom, at least one of your passengers has left you a 2 lb sic sac surprise in a seatback pocket. Don't you wish you weren't the FA too?

Here's to you TurboProp guy...MX told you the solution to getting those stuck flaps to come up, was to jump up and down on the wing root....and you fell for it, much to the concern of the passengers watching from the boarding area.

Here's to you Turboprop guy...the only reason you have to close your cockpit doors with the tensile strength of a First Class curtain, is to hide the red Cabin Alt High warning from your passengers....your plane hasn't held air since 1974.
 
Landing in BWI and the tower saying, "um.....piedmont just start taxing toward the ramp area, we've never had anyone exit the runway that short. Contact ground."

Being at a family gathering and expaining what you fly and thay say, "...a dash, what's that, ohhhhhh a puddle jumper, is that safe."

Hell yes it's safe. Carrying 37 people at a time 100 miles away at mach .287.

All for the multi-engine turbine time.

Pour one out for da prizzzzops.

LOL, we had a dipsh$t Captain in the Dash (if you know CLT) land on 23 and exit on 18L while the controller called the 73 for takeoff on 18L..... lol most go way past that intersection!!!! Boy, the Tower guy was pissed!!!
 
.....good times in the Dash.

.287! da%n Smoky! whats the hurry?

I heard it called a "crop duster", "WW II bomber"...... among many other things. I'd trust a Dash over many other a/c.....

Just once when someone said, "Is this thing safe?" I wanted to say, "No!"

"Is this old thing safe to fly?"
My response is "how in the hell do you think it got to be this old?"

"Piedmont, maintain 220 or greater"
"Unable."
"Uhh...maintain max fwd speed and turn 30 degrees right."
 
Beta powerrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!
 
I thought that you aren't supposed to exit a runway onto another intersecting runway? I know that, just being a smartass...LOL I flew freight into CLT and had big fun beating 73s and MD-80s to the airport in my trusty Cherokee-Six!

WHAT SPEAK UP LITTLE DEF FROM ALL THOSE YEARS IN MU2'S AND JETSTREAMS!

How can you tell a turbo prop crew in the terminal? Shirts are stained with sweat and they are screaming at the top of their lungs because their ears are still ringing from those Garretts. LOL
