The 207 W&B method: When you push the tail down to the ground using one finger, if it eventually drops back down so nosewheel touches, it's good to go.

So, you're flying to KMTN, and you file KDCA as your alternate. You lose comms, and you would just fly direct to KDCA from MTN? :D

This, and frozen pitot tube.

That's a huge difference though. The Zulu 2 cable is junk.

You know those 1016's are worth a lot today? Easy 10k+

For me - sous vide for filet, then sear however you want. You can't get them as close to perfection using any other method. Ribeye, depends how thick you like them. I like them close to 2" so again - sous vide, then sear. If thinner, then grill/cast iron works. If on a budget, short ribs. Cook...

If someone is only willing to pay for your SIC rating, run away, as fast as you can. SIC ratings are mostly useless, and if the company isn't willing to spend the money for a full PIC rating, it shows how little they really appreciate you...

Semi necropost-reply, but I was at Tradewind Aviation. Awesome company, I loved my time there.

Yeah, it's different in NG though. NG it leaves the FD but kills AP/YD. Legacies it gets rid of it all. So, in IMC, landing a legacy, I use the trigger and then kick off YD with the mode selector button. Landing an NG, I use the red button.

Depends what he was flying before. Usually in bigger planes the red button only disconnects the autopilot but leaves FD alone. On the NG, the red button kicks out YD and AP but leaves FD on.

The only thing that's legacy PC12 specific that might bite a pilot with not alot of PC12 time is if your autopilot does something you don't understand and you disconnect it with the red button. That kills your flight director too. So, take off, autopilot does "something" and you kick it off...

I've worn watches, mostly mechanical, for a long time now. Even before they were cool! My wife claims I have a problem. I'm on my Rolex nr. 130 now I think. If you're looking for an Exp2, I've got a 42mm Polar for sale...

To get a TS clearance, these posts in this forum will 100% be part of their investigation. Just sayin'...

Dr. Bruce said he is now a DPE, so there is definitely some resemblance :)

In the current market based on my recent experience, you don't have to pay anything out of pocket. "SIC type" or 61.55 check is done as part of your "company checkout" if you need it. Most contract SICs are guys who just sit right seat because customer likes two pilots.

Ah ok, I got you now.

I love the diver, I had a ROO Safari for a while, but it was just to realize (once again) that I'm a metal bracelet kind of guy. An AP I had once and was stupid enough to sell was this one. One day I will buy it back. 25960BC, ROC in WG. 20160601_130607 by , on Flickr

Toga thrust turns on the autothrottles. The type rating I'm studying for right now, it's TOGA (which turns on the autothrottles and "firewalls them"), no configuration changes, and no turns. Pitch up all the way to shaker if required.

In demand? Definitely not GLEX or such. We're talking CE-500, CJ-525 or maybe LR45. There's always work for people with those types. GLEX, good luck finding a seat.

I've got a 15400 and 15202 :)
