Welcome back! I went over 20 years. It comes back quick, could land smoothly on my second flight. On my third flight I took the radios and felt a bit overwhelmed at first but that went away quickly. With GPS, HSI, glass cockpits, flight computers and electronic flight bags, it's kind of trip to...

Approach in low IMC, ugh.

Part 135: No degree needed, charter operations are in desperate need of pilots since most leave as soon as they get to ATP minimums and/or their contract ends. You could actually make a decent living as an experienced 135 Captain. Regional: No, but it certainly helps. All Regionals are not...

If you fly with the ball centered without bank with one engine inop, you will actually be in a sideslip that adds drag, increases VMC and decreases performance so you are taught to bank up to 5 degree into the good engine and use rudder to eliminate the sideslip.

How long does it take if you stay a GA pilot? If you have 1200 hours or more with proper ratings and a college degree, you are in demand and can be at six figures within three or four years while making a decent wage in the interim. Times are definitely changing for the better in the aviation...

Ted do you think time in an Aztec E would count for the time needed for insurance in an Aztec F?

I see a lot of adds over on Airline Pilot Central for time sharing in various areas of the country. I am assuming this involves taking turns flying with a view limiting devise and splitting PIC and SIC time. Is this correct? Are there other ways being utilized?

Thanks for the link, that's right on point!

Does Time in Type for Insurance purposes include all variations of a particular model of aircraft? For example would flying in an Aztec D count toward time in type for getting insurance in an Aztec F?

I was thinking the same thing. Just because no one else is operating at the airport doesn't mean an inbound isn't monitoring the frequency just like it says to do in #7.

I was taught that as well however I won't pull back until established on crosswind or even a little longer if I am doing a cross country and have a ways to climb. I always felt the rule should be 25-25 once you can turn back and land engine out. 500 agl is not a safety first rule and I'm...

Agree, Magnus not playing that position was frustrating. He must be very confident he will win the rapid tie break.

I played tournament chess for years and find this championship extremely boring. Computers chess programs have gotten these guys preparation to a level that makes winning very difficult. The faster tie break time controls should make things more interesting on Wednesday - assuming today is a draw.

You can add the TransAsia crash as well. That one closer to Colgan with a deficient Captain at the controls.

Once Top Gun II is released, DCS is going to get a lot of hits.

Same here, mother was to blame also, was defending the decision even after the accident. Meanwhile if they did make it, the CFI was obviously PIC in all ways that are important. As for this glory seeker, if he does circumnavigate with an experienced pilot in the right seat, he deserves zero...

Yea, you can tell ATC considered the 737s priority even though she technically should of had the right of way. Plenty of blame to go around in this one.

Accident Case Study Released:

Instead of dropping them from the production line, maybe Piper will finally have the incentive to modify it with some more horsepower.
