Dan Gryder is a POS again

This drives me marginally insane - Kingston does the same thing with clearances out of the usual order, and their radios aren't great to start with.

The hardest place to hear them is within literal eye sight of their transmitters. Amazing how bad reception can be sitting on their ramp or when you’re on a six mile final. But hey, at least it’s only ever a barely more than minimum rest overnight with a 45 min ride to the hotel!

Was it at least a full route until you leave Mexican airspace with a sometimes confusing order with the runway coming before the route but the SID last and no time on the expect altitude like you get leaving Cancun or Puerta Vallarta? Hell, I've done to the LAX to PVR route so often lately I can tell you when the controllers will give you direct to the same usual fixes, the non-published crossing restrictions, and when the plane will dump you into CWS P if you LNAV/VNAV the RNP 22 approach and why I will cry when they take away IAN from me. The gate agents are starting to recognize me there, hell, so are some of the passengers!

I’ve done that LAX to PVR a kajillion times. You on the 737? What instance of CWS P did you get when trying to do the LNAV/VNAV to the RNAV 22?

Literally never been an issue. Sounds like operator error.

Dan's a ginormous POS…..but Lolwut? He’s not talking about stall recovery per se.

At 800 feet climbing out in your Warrior what do you recommend you do with the yoke when the engine quits? Seems to me you have three options. Hold what you got, pull back, or push forward. 1 kills you pretty quick, 1 delays that for just a few seconds, and the third buys you some time to look around, preferably directly ahead of you, for a place to set it down.

I don’t like the man but the logic to his loss of thrust of take off in these single engine GA bug smashers is pretty sound.

Just ask McSpadden. Or anyone else lost in the impossible turn scenario. Engine quits, or is giving up the ghost, immediately lower the AoA and look for a place to land.

The challenge is when you create a brand of being brash and speaking with absolute assholery, even when they may have a point, no one will listen. Hell, no one is *able* to listen and at some point, it’s time that person is an adult about it and accepts what their brand is.

Kinda!

I was doing my best to order some food in Spain once and clear-as-day the waiter said “We don’t speak Mexican, but how you say that in Spanish is…”

Clearly a soft bigotry toward Mexico, as I’d never tell a Scot to speak American-English.

There’s serious dislike by the Castilian / Castellano Spanish speakers of those who butcher the language, in their view. Namely, Dominican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban, then Mexican.

As far as the Puerto Ricans go, having been part of the US since 1898 and having K-12 Engrish [sic] classes doesn't help. 😄

Brothers returning to Seoul after the Korean War shouldn’t complain about the spice-level of Korean Fried Chicken either! :)

The problem is too many weekend warriors is/am/are/was/were pulling back when the big fan stopped turning. It’sa real problem. This video that we are talking about gave plenty of people a new technique that saved lives. How many? We’ll never know because we can’t count almost died. But it changed the way I taught loss of thrust on takeoff. If nothing more than to teach folks to expect it instead of being completely surprised by it. Talk about it. Be ready for it. And when it happens above all else don’t pull back.

...except for when teaching the "impossible turn" (which is not at all impossible, PROVIDED one gets the nose down aggressively enough to unload the wing to allow the turn).

I teach (when I get the luxury of instructing from time to time), that under 700' AGL you're landing 30 degrees of RH. At or above, a turn back to the runway is absolutely doable, if you've practiced it and you're comfortable with a lot more ground in the windscreen than you're used to.

Fantastic advice. Hell, we’d even brief doing the same thing in a Seminole out of PRC. Better to choose your crash site than have one chosen for you.
 
I grew up around Puerto Ricans and Dominicans so I picked up on their dialect of Spanish. While the base of it is Spanish it can be totally different from other Spanish speaking countries. In Mexico they say “troca” but I say “guagua” when talking about a truck. But guagua could also mean the bus. So I was in Lima one time asking how I could catch the bus and kept asking about guagua and the concierge kept looking at me like I was crazy. Most Central American countries say “el autobus or el bus.”
That is your Spanish lesson for the day. Read Chapter 2 tonight. There will be a quiz tomorrow.
