People compete for UAV slots?

I don't think rolling tires have a problem with short-field gear. I think the problem is when a tire non-rotating (or for that matter one that is still catching up to the aircraft's ground speed at touchdown) touches the gear, tripping it just enough to knock it out of battery. Sitting at the...

Nut turning CW = Bolt turning CCW so yes...righty-loosey

Also has anyone else facepalmed yet?;)

The picture is everything, definitely don't forget it. The test is trying to determine if you can look at something and be able to figure out how it works mechanically...at least in the mechanical part of the test. The rest is as Renegade One explained.

FACT

I have high blood pressure and it brings me to my new motto...AGSM is for those who lack manly blood pressure

No...what happened when you assume? Is it like when in rome?

From an article that I can't seem to find right now...what the E/F/G conformal tanks increase in weight/drag is offset by the increase in lift from their positioning over the lex. Also the IRST that has been developed for the export model would be nice in addition to the extra muscle and fixing...

In a -45 you are not actually trimming to AOA like you are in an -18. in a 45, the trim sets where neutral stick position is which means where the stab is. When you roll out in the grove, a different stab position is required than what was holding you on speed downwind.

That's not pitch buck...it's you!!! (Southern Drawl)

Sounds like you've figured out the game. True, after primary it is about knowing your shit and doing the best you can and getting winged, but there are people, not just a few, who do just that minus the getting winged part. Success in primary =/= success in advanced. If your success in primary...

Well said. There are MAJOR differences in student skill level and it's not that hard to pick out the 40s and the 60s. Flying at faster airspeeds might make it more noticeable too but who knows. I'm with you on the EPs and Gen Knowledge being important but, if all your "good grades" came from...

Hahaha...wait you are kidding right?

My understanding is that jet is plumbed for drop tanks though.

Nice...they also need to double the side of the vert stab

So the a/s restriction below the lateral limits of class B airspace is 200. Does that speed limit still apply if you take off IFR from an airport below the lateral limits of B airspace or can you fly 250 until you get above 10K?

On the plus side, it would be an easy transition from primary to the EMB-314

Have some friends interested in pilot wings after they saw mine on the car. They look great. If you have anymore pilot please let me know before I send the money, looking to get about 4.

There's an ICEMN between CRP and SAT

All I can visualize after reading that is the scene in AF1 where the eagle driver puts his plane between the missile and AF1. Always wondered why he didn't eject prior to impact.

Single anchor CAT I? If so they must have only been selecting from meridian because kingsville just had their first in over a year.

Same reason that AF1's missed approach was in the news and labeled a dangerous maneuver a couple of months ago

Analyze the situation and take proper action. Perform immediate action procedures without delay; however, initially do only those steps required to manage the problem. When operating a control, be prepared to immediately return the control to its former setting if an undesirable response occurs...

Another technique people use is knowing how many items are on the checklist and if say you didn't touch/check, 10 items on a 10 item checklist, you know it's time to refer back to checklist. Just throwing it out there, with fuel being so tight in our community, the time wasted on deck is fuel...

I was on the other side of the VTC yesterday and was thinking to myself...this would be so much more effective on AW

One that sticks out to me is sitting patiently in the ready room for an early BI or RI (can't remember) flight brief. My instructor who was also in the ready room was asked what flight he had by another IP and proceeded to answer by saying an F-in early instrument flight. He then went on to talk...

Definately add any of those too!!! Well said

As the title says, if you have a good or "other" experience that sticks out in your mind post it.

Might be interested in it with a little more description as to what you are looking for sir.

I assume you mean that's for the dual anchor crowd, am I correct?

No CAT I's (from kingsville at least) for prowlers for the last year, word in the taxiway is they are done CAT I on the navy side and won't open up to the -G for at least till next FY.

True, but then again, >75% of the aircraft are hornets of some type on a boat.

Great Navy Documentary ----> "Down Periscope"

May be a dumb question but all the Growlers will have JHMCS correct?

we are laughing...hahaha

I like the SSS thing, I wonder what all the codes are

There are a couple good books that go into detail about this. One in particular I cam think of is titled "The Naval Aviation Guide". It should get you started in the right direction.

Two single anchor gold for me please

Highly recommend these books, in fact, I have them sitting on my book shelf. These were the first to books that came to mind. Funny story, I re-read them as I went through flight school and come to find out I have actually met some of the characters in the book. One was even my skipper at VT-6.

You really have a LONG way to go as far as research. I would suggest you read some non-fiction books on the subject, I know of many that will come up just by typing in "Naval aviation" as a key word when shopping for books or at the library. There are a number of shows from PBS, Discovery, etc...

Too bad you didn't get that e-mail earlier, I was there mid-april. Saw it when it was put out though, looks good.

The Kat broke last night, fortunately not before my blind luck allowed me the experience of trapping on the Kat.

Webmaster, Can I get a name username change to Random Task and possibly get a set of wings of the single anchor variety?

Thanks for all the info, to answer your question I was looking to sell one of my ARs and get a larger caliber hunting rifle

Just to be clear I am not trying to sell my gun on airwarriors as I know it's forbidden. Has anyone had experience selling a gun by consignment? Approximately what is a reasonable percentage of the final value for a shop to charge for their service? Does anyone know of a good store in the...

No love for 21/22??? On a side note I could totally go for some cuban food.

Is there any loss of benefits that come along with a forced retirement or is it simply retirement earlier than you would have liked?

Are mods not closing threads like this anymore? on a side note...the douche factor also plays a major role in what you get...no joke.
