Help on Selection Choices

That's the worst joke I've heard all day. There is no reason I should have to ask the pilot's permission to start a checklist.

Me: "I'm getting weather onthe back radio. Can you cover the front?"
Pilot: Don't get it yet.
Me: Why not? We're about 90 NM from the field.
Pilot: 92 to be exact. Weather and descent checks start inside of 90.
Me. Right-o

AF homo-ness.

Aside from all the technicalities and Air Forceness of it all, the T-1 itself as an aircraft seems pretty cool to fly.

Eh, go helos or go home.

It's a great aircraft. That being said, the AF attempts to deplete any fun value that could be had. It does feel pretty weird doing formation low levels in a business jet, though.

Its good for what it is... a business jet. Comfortable jet to take x-country, though I prefer the T-39 (the one without the radar... faster, higher, longer legs)

Having zero experience in either........
...I changed my mind about commenting.

Meridian had two P3 guys that I knew about. T-Roy and the other one is escaping me right now. Vance isn't that bad, and OKC is a lot of fun.

What he said.

Doing a break at 30 AOB is just sad.

20 max AOB in the T-1 for the break. You actually got to 30? I think I maybe saw 30 once on a low level...

Maybe that's what it was. I've blocked most of T-1's from my memory.

On the pilot side of the house, we used 45 degrees in the break.

Jesus tits...that's a 1/2 standard rate turn...:sleep_125

T-Roy........cough cough.....great stick......and great for grades.

Remind me why the T-1 breaks????

 

[TheBubba]

Um... for training purposes only? There is no reason.

Ahem. That's not a break. That's a turn to downwind. Anyone who uses "20 degrees AOB" and "Break" in the same sentence should be Rochambeaued.

Its freaking pointless. We may as well have been flying the standard VFR box pattern in the T-1. Sure as hell felt like it. But alas, we "broke" b/c that was the published pattern.
