    Question for the Airline Pilots

    The jumpseater on our last flight said that flying for the airlines should be a lot like golf, whoever retires with the most money and least amount of flight time - wins. I love what I do, but I love time off more. As for a typical day 1 of a trip, it's pretty simple. I get ready, take public...

    10 airplanes to avoid

    FAA Considerign Eliminationg Circling Approaches

    I enjoy the challenge of a circling approach and they were a regular occurrence at PDK. I also wouldn't be so quick to blame that Lear crash on the approach itself. It should be well within someone's capability.

    A380 wagging its tail

    Its an automated thing. The rudder on my airplane is split along the vertical, unlike the 380's horizontal separation. Only the half closest to the stabilizer works during flight (a speed limitation...) to avoid overstressing. Id assume that only the lower half on the 380 works in flight to...

    A380 wagging its tail

    Blame the top half of the rudder deciding to show up to work when ground contact was made. A rudder becoming more effective at a time like that would surprise us all. Also, what you see and feel up front is a lot different from the passnegers in the back.

    Dropping FSX, going with X-Plane, for approach plates

    X-Plane connects to FF for free so you can see yourself on a moving map and, if you have it, on approach plates as well. You just have to input the IP address your iPad is connected to into the option in X-Plane. It should be under the Networking and/or Connections tab.

    Irma

    No trees down and we still have power. No Wi-Fi or TV, though. No big deal for our neighborhood. We did sleep downstairs on the couch last night just as a precaution. Our bedroom is closest to the tallest trees in the area with no protection. Trees have caused a few deaths here. Now I can get...

    Irma

    I don't expect anything head-on. Just a little wind and gnarly storms like we had with the edges of Katrina.
