    Transitioning Army Helicopter Pilot to Commercial Fixed wing looking to gain flight time exoerience

    I was referring to the United and Delta cases...I have yet to hear of anything like that yet.

    Transitioning Army Helicopter Pilot to Commercial Fixed wing looking to gain flight time exoerience

    Thanks and @X-Forces I am mostly curious, I never understood the hate of rotor time with most majors. @WaterRooster what have been the cases accepted, if you know.

    Transitioning Army Helicopter Pilot to Commercial Fixed wing looking to gain flight time exoerience

    Has anyone come up with a list of airlines that do accept rotor time? I only know of JB that explicitly mentions it.

    5 dead after skydiving tour plane crashes in Hawaii

    As it seems complaining about it on JC won't get you very far, you can't move the arrival route, and you can'take remove the DZ - have you tried the amicable approach of talking to the DZ about a compromising procedure for operating the area?

    5 dead after skydiving tour plane crashes in Hawaii

    A constant conversation with myself is wondering where I go when the engine decides its not going to 10 that day, the worst of points being below 1,500. For that reason I have my climb out points, exit on the upwind if able, and descend close to the field (jump run, hard left turn and wide to...

    Don't be this guy...

    If you are familiar with the area, it helps to know the sectors frequencies to listen to, like say going under a bravo or doing practice approaches not being worked by approach.

    Don't be this guy...

    Helps with traffic in the busy NE area (Philly/NYC/DC), that's why I usually pick it up if I am VFR. If you speak the speak as an IR rated pilot and treat it as such to an extent, they are usually pretty amicable in giving you flight following with Bravo transitions and even shortcuts if you're...

    Thanks I will keep that in mind.

    I would appreciate that - also, as far as bases, is a choice given or assigned as needed? Obviously I would carry some preference - but its essentially moot at this point.

    AMF Bro Questions: -Are they flexible on the 50 multi requirement? -Would my presumption of being a Bro FO then going to a PIC position in another air frame (probably Chieftain/99) at 135 IFR mins be correct? -What are the Bro bases?

    USAF OTS - High PCSM vs. low AFOQT scores

    Yes - and the ASTB-E (newest version) considers a similar UAV/Situational awareness simulation that may or may not be found on the TBAS. I am not sure what else is on the new version of the ASTB. There are study guides that actually account for all the written tests, Barron's guide comes to...

    Review: Clarity Aloft vs. Quiet Technologies Halo

    Will do - its comfortable to the extent of any headset, I am just not a fan of the quality of the earplugs. I could make a work-a-round using other earplugs if I wanted but the whole point is not having to worry about that with a headset.

    Review: Clarity Aloft vs. Quiet Technologies Halo

    Erik - does the aux provide cutout for comms? Edit: Disregard, it does not if it is not hooked up to the AC intercom system. If anyone is on the fence, I am about to bag my CA's because I cannot stand the earplug design.

    The state of USMC aviation

    Last I saw they were still getting the C. 2015 Marine Aviation Plan shows a planned procurement of 67. Edit: Shows C's going to Beaufort and Mirama. Starts at 2.3. But it is already out dated, and most likely subject to change...

    1500 rule in possible jeopardy

    Not that what else you said was not important, but this part speaks hugely in what I have seen, and part of what I was talking about. Not only are people different, but the part that no syllabus or checkride has taught me is how the pressure sneaks up - it comes in so many different strange and...

    1500 rule in possible jeopardy

    I have noticed the same thing in my limited experience and lower number of hours without a CFI and being a PIC with various jobs that require different demands contributed to my total abilities and decision making as a pilot. I want to dispel any notion that I think I am better, but I have...

    1100 SEL/SES/Rotor in PNW?

    I confused you in context with 'ScareVan' meaning the Airvan, the GA8, which I have been flown a bit of.

    1100 SEL/SES/Rotor in PNW?

    I had a few interesting ones - probably more me than the airplane. The box felt like wind sail to me in a stiff crosswind. It was usually a pleasure to land. There have been more than a few "am I on the ground?" landings and also a few "yeah, I on the ground." Are you flying the GA10?

    1100 SEL/SES/Rotor in PNW?

    I don't always put a wing on a box, but when I do it goes 120KIAS. Nah, shes a good airplane for what it is. Always fun on those windy days.

    The Attack on the 2nd Amendment Continues

    Not really, their actions are conducive to conspiracy to commit acts, they do not appear to intend to cause harm yet in action. Hopefully you will read this case, which is admittedly a bit long, but the opinion discusses a Militia in MI whose leader earned a conspiracy charge related to...

    The Attack on the 2nd Amendment Continues

    Utilitarian? The Ruger 10-22 seems to be very popular - it is accurate, cheap, and fun to shoot. My focus has been getting into distance shooting with smaller calibers, and my mind has been made up on a CZ455 Varmint. I bring that up because the 455 has an interchangeable barrel system between...

    The Attack on the 2nd Amendment Continues

    My next purchase is going to be a .22LR (which I do not alarmingly have at my disposal (!!!)), skip the .22WMR and .22 Hornet because of cost and availability. Then I will get a .22-250 leaving .223 for the AR. Popular game shot with heavier calibers I would rather test with 65 lbs. and 100/125...
