Who is the biggest loser you have flown with?

[FmrFreightDog]

Im pretty sure ATC can wave the 250 rule under 10,000.

They absolutely cannot unless there is a rule made (like the speed test in Houston several years back).

Im pretty sure ATC can wave the 250 rule under 10,000.

I am pretty sure that you need to take a FAR refresher course when you get your ATP.

I had a Riddle CFII who thought he could fly IFR in the north.....I went to check him out in my FBO's 172 and he lasted 8 seconds in the clouds before i took over......he was not allowed to rent the 172.....pretty sad.

thats why florida is worst place to learn to fly.

I'd hesitate to blame the state of Florida or it's weather for this guys poor piloting skills.

THOUSANDS of pilots get their instrument training in Florida and the vast majority do just fine. If a CFII can't fly IMC then I'd blame the CFII and the DE(s) that made him a CFII, CFI, Commercial Instrument pilot.

You, sir, should apply with Amerijet. They'd love your "spunk".

 

[brokeflyer]

what i meant was the lack of real ifr experience from down there compared to here in Seattle

I guess what I was thinking about was 91.117 (b)
Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, but not in class B

Ive been a freight dog for some time, i guess maybe thats why I thought it was normal.

remember, the barber pole is an objective not a limitation.

I'll back you up on the benifits of real experience. But there is no excuess for a current instrument pilot to lose it in IMC. And for a CFII?!?!

I don't care what your background is, either you can do it and should do it, or can't do it and should rip up your ticket. (or get more training till you can)

What a great thread.... I will add one...

Many years back I was a F/O on a BE-99. We were in line number 4 or 5 out of about 20 or so for take-off in MCO, when my Captain puts his hand on his chin and goes into a deep thought process. I asked him if everything was ok? He looks and me and say's "oh gezz, well you had best let the tower know that we are HEAVY" I said, What? He said, "yea, we are at max takeoff weight and that he did not want to upset the Delta 757 behind us". I said, yea thats funny. He looked right back at me and said "I am not kidding, Listen I want to get hired over there at Delta and I want to look good in front of their pilots". I said I tell you what, you tell the tower that, I dont want to sound stupid on the radio. Well this jerk -off get's on the radio and say's, "Tower this #### 2546 HEAVY, we are ready for take off, just want to give you some notice, we are a HEAVY today so please let the Delta 757 behind us know, and that he will have to offset the runway after takeoff".

Dude we are in a BE-99 !!! It only weighs 11,500 pounds !!!

You should have heard all the comments on the tower freq. I laughed at this guy so hard, I actually pissed my pants.

After all the laughter was over and we took off, the tower says, ####2546 Heavy! Contact Departure !!!! You could hear the controler laughing his azz off.

And yes, you guessed it. We called departure control and even they had heard about our HEAVY BE-99 !!!OH MY I could not even talk on the radio I was crying laughing so hard.

Sorry about the spelling didnt have time to check it..

Powercurve...were you Airmidwest ?

Yep Kilroy.That's the one

"I am not kidding, Listen I want to get hired over there at Delta and I want to look good in front of their pilots".

LOL! So I guess this guy also figured that the Delta guys would recognise his voice from his resume, too, huh?
I give this guy second place in the thread.

 

[tzpilot]

nevermind....

 

[stupidpilot]

12 miles, over international waters...but I have had captains try to do it coming out of Dallas.

You can exceed 250k below 10,000 ft if it is the minimum clean safe speed your airfraft flies at. The heavies do it all the time.
