Yeah, company doesn't have an official interpretation, that's why I'm asking, to better understand the fed's views on the matter. The STL FSDO seems to be in a bit of a mess, and combine that with getting a new POI, I can't seem to get a straight answer. But for now I'm playing it safe and...

x3 I've relied so much on it, I think my paper backup is about 4 months behind... And Eric is super helpful. Just the other day I wanted an additional flight property added, and he responded within just a few minutes and had it online.

I would have laughed. I got a good one in while on with Champaign approach in Illinois last week. The controller, Jen, was having a bit of trouble with her mic. After an aircraft read back the frequency change, he also stated that her transmissions were broken. She responded by saying her...

Thanks. I had always just searched through Google; Nice to cut out the middle-man here... My question, more specifically, is regarding the "legal to start, legal to finish" concept behind 135.263(d). As (d) does not specify a time-frame which the excess flight time applies to. As an...

But with the anti-gravity device working, does it count as being over 12,500lbs? I maintain that your SEL certificate would be valid without a type...

Definitely sounds like he was being a jerk... The folks at Skydive Chicago (8N2) have always been pleasant to operate around. It pretty much always works out where I'll deviate north a tad and they south, and we're both happy. I've had numerous occasions where they tell ATC that they're...

I've been looking for an official interpretation on 135.263(d) Flight time limitations and rest requirements. I've found many proposed LOIs, most recently from 2010, but nothing more than just a proposal... Anyone have some insight as to how the FAA views this reg? Thanks.

How about the statement that the "horn" was the TCAS alert, when it was clearly a stepped-on transmission???

Welcome! 1- I'm in St. Louis, so I'll move on... 2- Yup, that is realistic, especially with that good TX training weather. 3- Your understanding is correct. Yeah, it is pretty easy to get right back in after a short break. Every month or two you could just hop in and do couple hours solo...

I'm sure Shane will be along shortly, so I'll just leave this here for now... http://www.thesquawkshoppe.com/

I do a crew and pax brief every flight. The passenger brief is obviously required. And even if a CAVU day, I want all crew to be on the same page, so I'll still brief items such as FOB, who is PF and PM, hit on the departure procedure as cleared, ect... As the weather gets lower, we'll then...

Oh, I forgot about that... Yup, some impulse couplers are louder than others.

It's just the started bendix didn't fully disengage. No biggie.

Yup, pretty much. Get it as clean as possible and don't make any configuration changes, then just fly it to the ground with power. If the runway isn't long enough, oh well; I'll take going off the end of the runway at 30kts over what happened here any day...

Yup, that thing gets away from 'em and bad things happen: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2413231/Roman-Pirozek-Jr-Man-decapitates-remote-control-helicopter.html

Immediately upon inadvertantly entering icing conditions, or on before purposeful entry. Post 1 I did state this is in reference to the Caravan. the area next to the spinner is the only heated part of the prop. The heating element extends from the spinner approx. 8-10 inches outboard. I have...

As I said in the original post, it's a standard on/off cycle. There is a spring-loaded manual switch to override if the timer fails. What I'm finding is when in auto, ice can build quite a bit when it's off for those 90 seconds off, and the 90 seconds on is enough to get run-back and ice...

I forgot about my FSI materials, which also refer to it as an anti-ice system. It just seems weird to me. As I said, it always seems to work so much better just waiting a bit and hitting the switch to "manual" for a few seconds...

I'm not seeing anything explicit in my generic .pdf PIM. I'll look in the official PIM tomorrow while at work. I'm guessing it may be an additional page in section 7 for the specific aircraft configuration...? But again, all the checklist procedures treat it as anti-ice as it always says to...
