I always assumed it came from airline crews, who supposedly, both cockpit crew members agreed on a course of action.

I’m confused. You are IFR rated and current, willing to make a climbing right turn in the clouds but don’t trust your skills to make a climbing left turn..??

Oh my… where is the racism?? You’re a new guy. Take the ribbing like anyone else new to the club. Think “initiation”. If they didn’t give the new guy crap because he was a minority, that would be pandering…. And THAT would be racism.

I noticed a guy talking the first couple of times. I assume he was the Capt, which means the FO was flying. Once they diverted, the female was on the radio. I assume Capt took controls. Certainly not an excuse, but possibly a reason. Makes you wonder about hiring low timers, especially certain...

But your heading doesn’t.

That’s true with any business.

Because he’s not flying a jet.

Wealth distibution (the title), as opposed to wealth accumulation seems to be at odds.

We all need to be good neighbors. At times I have been delayed for slow aircraft. They also need to understand the reverse (delays). That said, I’ve seen many ATIS that said “no practice approaches”.

I never served, so this is not about me, but…. My dad (who passed 22 years ago), was in the Army Air Forces during WW2. For whatever reason he was never sent to theater. He did everything the Army asked of him, and would certainly have gone into combat if that was his orders. He received an...

My response was more for the folks asking about it… But thank you for the highly thoughtful response.

I may be in the minority here, but I like CC letters. It clears up ambiguity. Perhaps they seem incorrect, but at at least you have a standard of which to abide. Note: when I was in the GA world, things were much simpler. No internet to discuss how to log, etc… In the 121 world, I don’t give...

Posted earlier is this thread as a link.

Just curious.. what were the winds?? I’m a 20,000 + hour ATP that fly with copilots who can’t do the geometry (math) to figure out which runway is into the wind.

Seriously… a tailwheel is an endorsement because it’s basically takeoff and landing. A glider is an entirely different way to fly.

I should add that I could do it for hire seeing as though I’m a CP in SEL.

I have 0.2 PIC tailwheel time, with ZERO landings and ZERO takeoffs. It was for my CFI spin training in the 80’s. I could be mistaken, but I do believe I am legally qualified to fly a tail dragger as PIC with no further instruction. Cannot say that about a glider… :insert sarcastic smiley here:

Hyperbole or not, that’s not good. And, seeing as though the slat is subpart of the wing….

Oh my…. Just cannot believe what I’m reading. See my earlier post. It truly is the answer. Google it… PLEASE.

Bank angle for downwind/upwind segments. Crab angle for crosswind segments. On the crab segments the wingtip will be in front of or behind the point. At least that is how it was taught in the 80’s.
