And that is the slippery slope the basicmed poo pooing, pro-insurer lackeys don't want to acknowlege. I know it rings hollow in this PMC echo chamber, but life in America has become so overpriced/currency-diluted, that the only way to live with a modicum of stability against financial ruin for...

when I owned the ol arrow, I had that happen twice (one main, one nose). Pinched tube, both times. I was paranoid about it and always (over)inflated before any flight where AOG was a possibility.

You're essentially saying OODA loop. Here's the thing: if these critterS (and I capitalize S because there's two of these dodo birds on board to theoretically cut the loop in half) can't identify progressive problems at the slow-arsed pace of a fully [control and nav] pool-noodle-lined school...

Interesting picture on the combination of the crew's experience, and recency. Same overall flight times, but the FO was the experienced guy in the type, by spades. But had crap for recency in the 30 day lookback. Of course, why was he a [de facto] perma FO? Schedules preference, or aptitude...

and yet we still get people on placing a premium on piston fEekY. As I've said, stupid party tricks abound. I gotta say, hell of a prelim. Maybe the NTSB should go down to Brasilia and learn a thing or two from the so-called global south. Leave clownshoes, bring sunblock. :rofl:

A lot? I've had a hell of a time finding them, and I've been asking since 2014. Maybe I've been asking the wrong people (airline-centering folks). PM sent.

sounds like boilerplate standard aviation go-away pricing. it's a real inviting hobby, I'm told it's thriving.....

yea, that's an easy slippery slope to exploit. If the inflection point point is basicmed, they could make the same stipulation against a 40 year old. The low economies of scale rationalization for why everything sucks in this space is getting kinda tiring.

Must be the curse of the triple inverted sixes, a similar fate befell 999sk at Purdue. That one left two fatalities. Drunk fbo flunkie took his extended family member for an early morning joy ride after a night of drinking, stole the keys, launched into low imc as a non instrument pilot, didn't...

Already being discussed in the other thread but, legit question, is it the contention of the problem here that over-70 pilots were not being extended liability-only policies? I've heard declinations for ground in-motion or in-flight hull coverage for the over 70, but not outright liability-only...

Yeah, he/she would lose mind with our puns and frequency check-ins/outs at UPT/IFF and fighter FTU bases. Thankfully, they keep us rowdy toys locked up on Uniform freq for the most part, while the pedants on Victor continue to inspire kids to recant and take up a career in pulling teeth for a...

copium; prices do fluctuate down. There's no need to be a simp for sellers, and I've been on both sides of the transaction. If you can't wait because [reasons], by all means. But this idea of gee chucks it is what it is, is hardly a reason to exercise price-inelasticity of demand. It's not...

yeah it's hopium. The market is captured by transactional time builders who don't want anything to do with spending time in a hot noisy lawnmower a second longer than they have to, on their way to their FMS-punching job that promises 300K/yr without the academic rigor (aptitude for which most...

In the interest in not derailing this thread any more, let me PM you my rant on that topic. Now back to this evening's origional scheduled programming. ;)

Apologies in advance for those who don't speak usaf jive. Click here to file a grievance. PMs kept throwing an error. Anyhoo, undergraduate pilot training course training standards are graded on a different scale than the ops units/FTUs, but the stated intent is the same. It's a '4', where 4...

I thought the standard was trial by aerial combat a la Watsonville CA. Ya wanna be right or ya wanna go home to the frau and dependents type of thing.

Where would one find that info? I admit I've never looked. The AFD? NOTAMS? I'm talking in general, not for one off events like fly-ins or the like. calling the airport manager?

they're the same picture. :stirpot:

A bit specious to extrapolate a problem based on the fiction that is OSH.

Sure, I stipulate on the semantics your honor, if it gets the conversation moving. I merely meant 'art' in that the timing is variable based on all the listed above and more. Not all students have the same reaction time, not all IPs have the same recognition time, and environmentals also play...
