The were not legal to log stick time for the airlines.. Some part 135/91 places accepted it as flight time but NO 121 carrier.

We are certainly talking around each other! My point is that nobody flys AOA on takeoff or off the Cat (except apparently new generation aircraft)

AOA is a function of airspeed. You made my point. AOA is a certain airspeed for a certain angle of attack. Remember those airspeed/AOA cross-checks on approach? If the failure of an AOA probe is critical for takeoff then that’s a design flaw. Since I am guilty of flying older airplanes, it’s...

Y’all know that AOA off the cat shot don’t mean jack! You need airspeed. AOA is for landing to fly the airplane at a certain attitude for the hook angle and generally speaking on the back side of the power curve for instantaneous power.

3 hours? What are you doing that takes 3 hours? Isn’t it just a 3 & 3?

Yes, no and maybe so….

So here is a question? Since it’s no longer a door but a plug, would you get an EICAS message for door open? Again, no 73 experience and not a PAX pilot. But was a 757 & now a 767 Capt so I sort of know a little about Boeing. And by a little, don’t read into that, I mean a little!

At altitude, yes. But these folks were at 16k. You ain’t getting that much VSI down low and slow! Since I have never flown a 73, I don’t know how they behave but 250-200 knots, you ain’t getting more than 1300 without gear in a widebody. I have to assume a 73max is gonna be similar. Our...

Hypoxia.. Can’t stabilize the aircraft if you’re dead

So the Thunderchickens have always had an ugly paint scheme!

Oxygen mask-on VSI depends on altitude but 3 to 1is probably the best you’re gonna get with the slow down unless you throw the gear. So I would guess somewhere between 1000-1500

I’ll give you one better. I was part of a 5 ship boondoggle of S-3s out of Fallon to get pictures in Diamond with Mt Shasta in the background, then drop 6 Rockeyes in a line abreast off Washington in the warning area, and RTB via some VR route. Short version: only 1 jet made the entire thing...

That ain’t a truck…. That’s an ugly Elcamino!

Nope…. But I didn’t see any bigger folks. Actually, as a whole, I didn’t see a lot of big folks all week.. With NFR in town, it was mostly a lot of boots and hats! Mad Dog can tell you! Especially if he went across the street to MGM. But the pay back was mine. My wife thought she was gonna...

Wife and I did a Grand Canyon tour Wednesday out of Vegas. Not cheap but a must for any bucket list!

Why does it look like a Call of Duty smilie face?

It’s in reference to a stupid scare tactic negotiating email from the VP of flight ops…. The Memes are hilarious. I’m willing to bet there are ZERO takers.. Frankly, it’s bad form for a Fortune 500 company and out right embarrassing.. Short version: He said AAL is offering to hire current...

Too many windows and no cargo door… What a waste of a hull….?

Seniority…. Lots of junior pairings suck and suck really bad! Plus lots of folks don’t want to get jerked around on reserve!

Actually he was chill.. Race horses not so much…

Don’t care… Boxes don’t care what temperature it is….. But Horses do! Had this jumping horse on Tuesday’s flight…. Most I ever had was 9 race horses from LAX to Indy..

Since I only fly 7 times this month, it’s a 6 day weekend for me.. Fly afternoon and next morning and then 18 day weekend…

If you’re an 0-4, once you have 20 years, you will get a letter that says you must ask for continuance or submit for retirement.. Just follow the directions on the letter.. That was 2013 so it may have changed but unlikely. Also call BUPERS and make sure you haven’t screwed up and actually...

How about don’t do the Shit Hot Break if you suck and can’t pull it off!

Rule number 1 is to always press check a pistol when touching it for the first time, either from somebody else or not recently shooting, loading or clearing..

Not me… Finally hit widebody Cap seniority to do nothing but afternoon out and backs…. No more layovers for me.. Except BFM.. Folks live in Pcola so grabbed a BFM out of open time at the end of the month with a 26 hour layover..

Regional 121 is not the same as Majors 121…. I have never flown with a regional guy that doesn’t say the same thing as you. You’re in the pits building time to get to the next level. And so is everybody else… You’re not at your final destination…. But if you hate the people hauling, build your...

The 170 view in the joinup…. It was a little tricky because his airspeeds are so much slower.. I’m used to flying off other RVs.. 50 knots slower sure changes things…

Haven’t posted anything in here for a while.. But saw this beauty fly in today for our (KFYE) monthly luncheon…. And with CAP markings, I immediately thought of Chuck..? Afterwards jumped in my RV and caught up to my buddy’s 170 on his way back to Millington.. Anybody familiar with the area...

I looked up GS-12 pay and hope those numbers are wrong.. Our second year FOs make 200+. I’ll agree with the GA flying.. Wish I had more time to fly my RV!

You do know the better metric is who gets paid the most to fly the least!

Come to FedEx, half our pilots do that shit, four nights in a row, every other week.. ?‍?

Can’t catch fire if you’re out of gas…

Power Power Panel Packs Pressure…. Or something like that….

Tally-ho and Visual are military terms. Technically, it’s traffic in sight. Tally is what I use and I do it for 2 reasons. 1. Technically they are a bad guy. I don’t want to hit them and I don’t want them to hit me. 2. To annoy you fuckers! It drives civilians and fighter folks crazy..

That site requires subscription but did find the names. I read an EAA article about this young lady months ago. Wasn’t her in the accident but tragic nonetheless! https://inspire.eaa.org/2020/11/05/eaas-the-green-dot-firefighting-helicopter-co-pilot-ashli-blain/

Racist….

The only time anything is in his own words is when he is yelling…

It’s such settled science that he still has yet to actually post a single study proving masks work!

Why use the pan? She could have just sat down and heat up some roast beef…

Sky Penis competition? https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N23508/history/20211110/1908Z

Let’s Go, Brandon

Never owned a hat and never will…. Trash hauler life!

Yup…. Those were rough planning numbers.. However my last trap was 21 years ago and some change so I could be wrong but I’m sure enough about those numbers that I would be all in if this were a poker game.

10k on a yo-yo 3k single cycle 1.5k double cycle S-3 was a shitty tanker.. It was a stop gap measure..

Fauci is a known and proven liar! I don’t know about you but once somebody lies to me, I believe nothing they say! It’s not that complicated. He has ZERO credibility.

It’s almost like this virus is not normal and more resistant and easily spread.. Almost like it’s a result of Gain of Function research ?
