No, it IS that number. All the intangibles you speak of are learned through quality experience not quantity. And Congress made ATP more of a numbers game than a safety one. I also think while the number of hours is static to qualify for ATP the cost isn’t. It really is a broken system.

I know (I was being coy). The fact is it makes very little sense and creates this industry of poor CFIs just “building time” as well as a “constant pilot shortage”. I also don’t think the folks who made up this number had a clue.

I’m surprised the 1500 hour thing has stuck. IMO it is the root of a lot of the problems talked about in this thread and it makes zero sense to me.

LOL. Quote all parts of the article please related to the sim: In 2018, the sister of the pilot said that the safety investigation report on MH370 showed "nothing negative"[259] about the pilot flying the plane.[260][261][262] According to the report, "There were seven 'manually programmed'...

That’s actually incorrect about the flight sim. An even better write up on Wikipedia.

Aviation News Talk Podcast is also essential.

I highly highly recommend Pilot Edge. I don’t sim without it.

Both of the pilots in front of their respective yokes had thousands of hours in type. The plane was a couple of years old (I think six). It is NOT easy to say it was the pilots at all. It is equally NOT easy to say it was maintenance. Most accidents are directly or indirectly related to human...

I noticed that too, which is why I’m taking the above with a grain of salt.

Who is this person saying all of this?

Also as Mark already knows: You can do ALL of your solo work with an instructor monitoring but not instructing or ALL of your solo work well, solo. But you can’t combine both (do some of these flights solo and others with an instructor).

@Zahid Ahsan I got my PPL at 39N. I fly out of 47N and soon N51. PM with questions.

For me, it’s been just the opposite. I just tend to forget stuff (or instead, not be consistent) and a thorough detailed checklist ensures I don’t. Most of the time, I can whip through these pretty quick using the flow technique. But I’d like to hit the “check mark” to confirm it. EDIT: I also...

I want to say that my EFB has personal checklists that include things like “Double check wing ties are actually untied” and “Check A20 BT is connected to iPad”. Hopefully, soon, I will have “Start GoPro” etc. Seriously, the POH is just a baseline as @midlifeflyer astutely pointed out. You will...

Do you use an EFB? Seriously, if you don’t….pick one, add checklists.

Watch the Mike Busch video. Then come back.

Then i have no idea what you mean by “book knowledge”.

EGT is not a *real* number. Period. And CHTs are great provided you have a engine monitor that measures all of them (CHTs are a real number and they can be thought of as "stress" on the cylinder). I highly, highly recommend you YouTube "Savvy Aviation Lean" and go from there. Mike really...
