Interesting that Big Navy is finally climbing on the GPS bandwagon.

Yeah Excellent knowledge on the brief good Iniatitive throughout the flight. All and all SNA is doing above average in the program.
Knowledge- mif
Ive seen this to much all through flight school

I HATE that line! Call it (and grade it) like you see it. Favorite quote from one of my grade sheets, "First landing should really count as 2 landings. SNA porpoise twice before executing waveoff. 2nd landing should count as 1.5. SNA porpoised again, but not as bad."
The new info on crew rest (read: time for normal shit at end of day + 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep) is gonna draw a lot of sea-lawyers. Luckily crew-rest is a should, not a shall....

The AF regs have had "opportunity for uninterrupted sleep etc" for a while. The main area I've heard of it coming up so far is calls (if a senior leadership type is in crew rest, his deputy/etc will take any official calls to his cell instead, or an alarm being set off and the building/security custodian being called up for a couple hours the morning before a morning flight to take care of it). I think the kind of people that would abuse that are already abusing the existing regs - had a few people in the VTs try to pull BS crew rest excuses when they weren't ready for a brief (squirrels fighting outside bedroom windows, etc) but were smacked down by the chain of command.
One of my favorite little SOP's for the 12th Aviation Brigade down here at Rucker. Rated Army Aviators shall.... yadda yadda... x number of hours to not be exceeded... yadda yadda.... Oh and the little asterick at the end, Flight Students do not qualify as rated Army Aviators....
So yeah IP's can only work so many hours in the day, but the guy at the controls for 90% of the flight... well hey F that guy.
Anyone know where there is an official OPNAV endorsed "differences brief"? Something that has some semblance of official-ness. Just don't want to read through the whole thing.
That will change if and when they see mishaps occur, but if the Rated pilot is well-rested, he/she can always take over the controls, right?
Not happy that they didn't delete the reference that says the CO has to give the final approval for pregnant women to fly, even if the flight surgeon says it's ok.
Why? The CO gives final approval for anyone in his command to fly, even if the flight surgeon says it's ok.
The issue is that it's really the only medical issue that the Navy is basically saying to the CO, "Ok, we trust your judgment in this medical issue over the FS." If they're going to do it with pregnancy, if I go med down with a sinus infection, should the CO say when he thinks my sinuses have cleared? I get that in the end it's always the CO's decision, but there is significant potential for abuse with the current policy.
If you're med down, you're med down.
If you're med up, the CO decides if/when you fly. Example: If I break my hand punching Joboy in the face, but the FS clears me to fly, the CO can still say "No, you're going to sit in healing chair. I want you be 100% before you fly (and I want you to punch Joboy in the face again)."
That said, I'm not a CO, so letting a pregnant aviator fly is not a decision I'll have to make anytime in the near future.
