FWIW, I’ve found that 5-6 hours usually works well for ribs. Eight sounds kinda long. (I use the Weber Smoky Mountain)

UPS has officially dropped the requirement but I bet it’s 1 out of 200-300 who don’t have a degree. If your goal is the airlines, why not stack as many cards in your favor as you can?

Appears they hit a paraglider.

The UPS and FedExs of the world are probably going to be looking for a larger operator than someone operating a single Navajo. Probably looking at 10-20 Caravans or 1900s.

Jack Russells are shaped like a football for a reason.

Middle TN to southern LA in an Agcat with no comm or nav equipment. If I recall correctly it took two enroute fuel stops. Thing went about a 100 mph downhill. Was a long day.

Flew one years ago. Many times thought I had the landing nailed only to have it plunk down. Never did figure that damn thing out.

Don’t know about the RJ, but on the Boeings you use the FMC to input the route regardless of whether you’re navigating by GPS or VOR. If the GPS went out you’d get a warning and obviously couldn’t use a GPS approach but the enroute navigation would automatically fall back to INS with updating...

A lot of our routes are still filed via jet routes and therefore VORs but navigation is done by GPS enroute. At my airline, even if we accept a visual we are required to tune and use the ILS if available. I’m not sure what you saw, maybe they were being vectored and assigned an altitude lower...

That’s definitely not too old. We have new hires in their mid and late 50s. Never thought I’d see that.

This is not correct. We are all taught to lead a turn when passing over an intersection and the outbound course is different. The FMS will do this on its own if left in LNAV. This is what ATC expects and the OP beginning to turn to the next inbound course is absolutely correct. If you look...

our 2016 Tahoe has it. You wouldn’t even be able to tell when the cylinders deactivate if it wasn’t for the light coming on that tells you. No problems with the system.

A leash???

Lost a hydraulic system that caused us to drop the gear manually and therefore we lost nose wheel steering. We were going to block the runway so declared an emergency. No big deal. Filled out one simple form online through the company and never heard another word.

That sounds reasonable and would probably not be a good idea. Since he said the plane was pressurized to 8000’ it should be fine. On a similar note. Many years ago I put my bag containing those single serving containers of apple sauce and some chocolate pudding cups in the unpressurized nose...

Get your CFI and let them pay you to fly. You’ll also learn a lot.

If it’s a salt water pool it should be very easy to care for.

Most of the videos on here are pretty boring but that was very well done!
