    Airline Guys Question

    The only regionals I’m aware of at this point in time that are no interview and a true flow is the American wholly owned carriers (PSA, Envoy, Piedmont)no interview required your number comes up in seniority order, if AA is hiring, off you go.

    Airline Guys Question

    I’m sorry you are correct I totally confuse my previous statement with something else, just went and relooked at the technical definition and that is right!

    Airline Guys Question

    The freighter version of the 767 (I should specify the freighter that Boeing builds from the factory New today) has the bathroom in the flight deck.....so I guess one could argue they have their own bathroom?

    As Jordan said about what an Mel is Edit: provided incorrect technical definition of what an MEL list is! Just wanted to remove it to not confuse anyone else!

    Airline Guys Question

    It also is a possibility one was MEL’d and not working But as others have mentioned it just depends on the plane and the outside conditions etc. usually just asked the FA’s if they were hot or cold and adjusted accordingly. However there are times it’s impossible to keep up with the temp due...

    Fly to an intersection on an approach plate when cleared for the visual?

    as for the whole visual approach discussion, at my previous airline and my current we would/we do always load an approach of some sort, of the airport had an ILS we would load that, if not we’d load either the visual or the RNAV, whatever was most appropriate. Or even the VOR in some...

    Fly to an intersection on an approach plate when cleared for the visual?

    I have yet to go to an airport that had ILS approaches that by default went to give me the RNAV instead of the ILS, or an instruction to go to an RNAV approach fix or course rather than the ILS a on a visual . if it were me, I’d always load up the ILS instead of the RNAV, unless there was a...

    Cessna Model 182T NAV III Cruising

    182T owner here....basically pick what works for you, find the speed you feel like using and go from there, or if you are more concerned about fuel find the fuel you feel like burning! the poh does provide guidance, a very basic guidance at that, it basically says any power setting in the...

    Fall foliage flights

    Fall foliage flying my cessna around florida isn't too great, its pretty hard to see the changing color license plates from the air, the drive becomes more scenic for the annual changing of the license plate colors

    Fly to an intersection on an approach plate when cleared for the visual?

    in small airports you won't see this too often, but at larger airports this is pretty common. Just toss the approach in to the GPS and if you need it good to go, if you don't, enjoy the true visual! They basically want you to go to that fix and join the final there for the visual approach...

    Why don't GA aircraft have winglets?

    I flew the CRJ for several years and all variants (200/700/900) do not have the horizontal stab heated. When I first went through training on it I couldn’t believe it, but in all the time I flew the jet never saw ice build up on it after a flight. Also for the person who asked the CRJ winglets...

    TRAFFIC! (Now what?)

    Upgrade to an F-22, you’ll never not see traffic, and in the event of a conflict you will most likely always win

    So. Florida aviation museums/warbirds

    Don’t know how much driving or how often you plan on doing it, only thing I’m aware of on the East Coast is in Titusville at the Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. I have family in the South Florida area and infact I’m not aware of any other aviation museum on the east coast of Florida at all.

    Anyone Here Scuba Dive?

    I'm certified! done the caribbean, great barrier reef, and all over Florida where I live and the bahamas. The caribbean, specifically the BVI's have been my favorite diving. The keys have great spots, but with recent events not so sure how the conditions are down there right now. There are some...

    Thoughts on landing C182 heavy

    As @neilw2 said I was talking about legal. I can land it no problem regardless of if I land at max landing at 2950 or anything below that. My 182 has a useful load of 1077.7 lbs. but my max landing weight is 150lbs less than max takeoff. So with 4 170lb folks like myself and some bags it’s...
