It's not really a word at all, so don't commit that to memory. I think he was going for "agita."

I’ve heard it’s really difficult/expensive to cut holes in composite material for doors, etc. Same reason you probably won’t see a 787 P2F.

The spotting culture fascinates me. This guy is a pretty popular train spotter on social media. His enthusiasm for trains is unbound. I wish I had something in my life that made me this giddy. This guy always makes me smile...

Where’s the first cockpit video?

Not being snarky, trying to learn. Wouldn’t a diaphragm be considered a moving part?

I bet if they had ran the right checklist this wouldn’t have happened. I can’t speak for that airplane, but for the stuff I’ve flown with an EICAS, the checklist title is verbatim what is written up on the screen. You have to make sure the checklist you’re using is the right one by cross...

I think he means 300' AGL and 1 mile from the runway.

I agree.

Which CFR says that? If you’re using 91.205, that’s only for aircraft for hire. Since I don’t think many of us are operating for hire to KEYW, I think 91.509 applies, and I don’t see where a normal route to KEYW is more than 50 nautical miles from shore.

I’m sure it’s smart to do so, but why is it required?

Might want to review AIM 7-1-21

I don’t even carry passengers and I’m all for finding a smooth altitude. Flying in constant chop is fatiguing. Plus it makes drinking coffee and doing my crossword harder.

For me it definitely is. I tend to buy my business tickets last minute (some times day of) just due to schedule changes. And I’m not talking about RJ flights. I’m talking like I want to go from Narita (Tokyo) to Phoenix tomorrow. In Business Class.

I used to think the same way as you, but I softened a little after seeing this: https://news.artnet.com/art-world/isis-cultural-heritage-sites-destroyed-950060 https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/150901-isis-destruction-looting-ancient-sites-iraq-syria-archaeology Not that...

I think it’s a catch-all to prevent penantry. Like you plan your cross-country on airways, then ATC sends you direct from one NAVAID to another. This way some sea lawyer doesn’t come along and say “your cross-country doesn’t count because you weren’t on an airway for the ATC directed part.

If tower tells you to “fly runway heading,” you do just that. Do not adjust for wind. Just fly the runway heading.

That could be the difference.

What MDS? We used the same rules as AD AF. Maybe it was a 11-2-KC-135 thing, but it was definitely a thing.

Yeah, but Occam also has a funny way of disappearing for a lot of these. Ol' Mr. Occam was jumping up and down screaming "fuel contamination" in this one: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/v-twin-down-janesville.130835/page-3#post-3373510 Occam would have never said "broken...

Where does it say in 61.57(b) that there is any restriction on what type of crewmember or mention crewmember at all? All is says is that you can't carry passengers.
