Ram Air Freight is hiring

[Lear Wanna Be]

Yeah, call the FSDO of the operator in question.

Incidents won't be seen on NTSB.gov, but accidents will.

Interesting website you have there. However, there doesn't seem to be anything on Ram Air except a list of planes they fly.

In order to access all the information you have to have a subcription. I just checked and apparently they not taking any new subscribers for some reason.

Does the company have a policy on using handheld GPS's? It sure would be nice to use something like a Garmin 396 with the datalink weather.

95% of their planes have either a Garmin 430 or an apollo gps. I guess you could use your own if you wanna lug it around plane to plane

Thanks for the reply Airmugsy. I thought that the entire fleet had Garmin GX55's. A 430 would be very nice to have flying in that kind of environment.

Buddy of mine that flies there told me that they have even added Garmin's terrain awereness software to a few of the 430s. My guess is that they plan on doing it to all of them. Not a bad little feature. If only they would fix the autopilots now.

I just left there,,, didnt hear anything about that. Autopilots would be nice but like everyone said before, working there, good or bad, made me a better, confident pilot, and hand flying those things in some bad weather definatly sharpens your skills.

Bad Info...

Lear, your friend told you wrong. We have one new to us BE58 that may have TWAS because it had it when Ram bought it. I think that HSIs and autopilots would be a significantly higher priority, and there are no plans to do any of that. About 45 of 50 or so planes have either an Apollo GX50 or a Garmin 430, and ALL the Databases are kept current every 28 days.

I don't know, he is a 402 driver. Perhaps he just got to go for a ride in that Baron you are talking about and some how got the wrong impression. That doesn't happen to be the same one that ended up on it's belly at BWI a few weeks ago, does it?

Gear handle, Flap handle...it does not matter, just pick one, something will happen. LMAO
