New Freight Dog wants advice.

[Guillotine007]

Although, the ultra-hot girl that works at Stevens in DAY was being especially smiley and friendly with me last night. I attribute this to the fact that I was looking very akin to a frozen wet rat and she felt sorry for me.

ah yes, the brown haired one who wears the f-me boots all the time. i remember when she got her braces off last year. i'd say "hit it" but my girlfriend may read this thread....

Have fun flying the SD3-30, the thing is wack on the vertical axis anytime you change power settings in flight... It yaws like a mofo. It also can be tricky on the landing rollout when you are in beta or reverse you will dance on the rudder pedals to keep the thing aligned on centerline of the runway. But suprisingly they are very good airplanes, the 360 is a bit better though, more stable and faster. Have fun!!!

Does the SD3-30 "require" 2 pilots?

Quick question for you freight doggs out there.
For company that used pistons without icing equipment how do they deal with those limitations during the winter. And how much pressure is aim at the pilots in terms of going?

My advise (and this is from somebody who is stuck in the Southeast so I don't get into ice a whole lot) Fly under or over it.

Just make sure you get plenty of speed before you hit the layer, and bust through it as quick as you can.

Nights like this are where you really make your 20,000 a year

Maybe a question for another thread, but how senior is MWA? I live right by there and meet the mins for ACC and was thinking about sending a resume over.
Anplace beats where I am flying now. 2 engine failures in two months sucks!!!

If my "friend" had about 600 hours and wanted to fly cargo, are their any companies that would let him sit on the right side of the devil to meet 135 mins?

Yes, the 3-30 and 3-60 require 2 crewmembers.....

 

[Wankel7]

All shorts require two pilots.

Like it said earlier the senority of a base really dosen't mater when you are a new higher. Where you go depends on where they need you. However, within your class they look at age to figure on a pecking order.

FlyInLow - I would walk a resume over since you live so close....best to have options!

I will do that the next time I am home.

I live not 5 minutes from the airport, and fly 180 miles away.
So close, yet so far.............
