Never heard of one that will. What would that buy you over current fielded modes of climb. (FLC, VVI, etc)

Good, not bulletproof but ok for adult use. Less stout than the aviation specific models.

I have QC45’s and uflymic. Great setup. I’ve used A20’s also and prefer the QC’s over longer periods of flying.

One of the many things to love about the Eagle : no boldface!

I'm with you on that. As new pilots we're taught to use the checklist for everything under the sun. IMO, as PIC you are free to examine which checklists may be superfluous and curtail/change/delete as appropriate for safe and efficient conduct of flight. In USAF UPT we were taught a ton of...

To each their own. I take something different from the tragedy - 1) know your limits (and that we all have some) 2) New airplanes or new circumstances (he just picked it up from mx) require you to not be in a hurry no matter who you are. I don't stop driving slightly over the speed limit...

Any of you guys ever flown with Snort? Drink cocktails with him? I have done a good bit of both. It's not like him to miss things; it's also not like him to ever admit he might need to slow down with a new plane that he's not used to. Knowing your blind spots and weaknesses is a special...

Depends on where we are going, how much cargo/pax we have and what the weather forecast says (just like every other airline flight). I've never flown the 777 but a quick search turned up this page: https://www.liquisearch.com/boeing_777/specifications The biggest difference (that I saw)...

If you were 8 hours into a flight, the airplane is likely below max landing weight anyway. Not enough info to know for sure without seeing the WDR.

I'm with @EdFred here. It's really hard to prove that you don't need something. Do you need a checklist to walk to the bathroom? (Step 1: stand and stabilize. 2: Plot course to facility 3. Confirm free and clear movement of feet 4. Make initial movement of feet in direction of travel...

Sorry, I mis-remembered. 1000# a min was what I was thinking; ok so it's 1300. Either way it's not even REMOTELY close enough to make a difference when you are talking about the fuel loads of a widebody. (Eagle is also ~1k#/min - actually 990 but I was trying to demonstrate a point)

Not all airliners can. When I flew the 767 we could but it was about 1000# per hour which is nothing. It’s about the same dump rate as the F-15 but the 767 carries about 10x the gas. The airbus I fly now has no dump capability.

I’ll see you at CDG one of these days

Never understood this. I’ve flown with several CFI’s that had hard landings and just as many or more non-CFI’s that had great landings.

Things must’ve changed then. When I was stationed in the UK, we would often find out that a royal flight has been scheduled for today and nearly the entire UK airspace was closed to all but scheduled 121 operations. It was a royal pain in the butt.:ihih:

My favorite from this week. (My daughter waving bye bye to me this morning). It was her first Osh and it was great! (Her and momma are going home commercial)

I never understand the shade thrown at people just by looking at their bike. If the guy was standing next to it talking about all his off road adventures, I’d say fire away. (Although you still never really know). These bikes are great road warriors! Why hate on people that don’t use it for...

Nothin special, just line aircraft. Those mil jets are used for normal training during the week then sent off for the airshow on the weekend. They try really hard to keep the ones with the special paint jobs ready to roll for the shows but everything breaks occasionally and I. That case they...

Or some suits are slightly less cheap 299.9; I always said 95 but have heard it as 99

Us either. 243.0 has always been navy common. I always found myself on cheapsuit, full house or rifle although cheerleader is a favorite also.
