At V1

Every mechanic I have talked to has their doubts about the MD. A couple of weeks ago (before the retirement announcement), a mechanic said he was on one of the teams doing the inspections, and 9 out of 10 aircraft had major corrosion problems - beyond the point of repair - at the inspection...

410 hours 35 fewer hours than last year, so at least I'm trending in the right direction.

As of a week ago, no. At least that's what a mechanic on the JS said.

Hopefully this picture helps to explain the loading process. Having the cargo door behind the wing will make UPS change their loading process. The wings aren't aircraft specific. In regards to the next Gen freighters, that've above my pay.

Yes and no. There are two issues when it comes to replacing the MD. 1) The wing span. 2) The behind wing cargo door. The loading wings (at UPS) are setup to utilize aircraft that have the cargo door in front of the wing.

I met him a handful of times. He was a class act. They will be missed.

This sucks. The latest rumor is RO/JS’er was a very senior and well known CA.

It's been about 10 years since I did the KA200 course at CAE (DFW), but I remember it being similar. I finished F900 recurrent and then did a couple sim sessions in the KA200 and a check-ride. This was all pt.91.

From Reddit.

I stand corrected. The picture looked like a latitude or longitude. Indeed it looks like a 36 tail. On the 36 the rear barn door latches into to the empennage . The forward barn down latches into the rear door.

A lot considering the door is in forward of the wing and engine.

When he said Kileen, I knew it had to be an Omni guy. I think I still have that tie hanging somewhere in my closest.

Somewhat common. It depends on what the insurance company and/or family wants to do.

7 deceased 19 injured Source Fox29 PHILADELPHIA - Devastating scenes remain days after a medical transport plane crashed in Northeast Philadelphia, claiming the lives of seven people, including a pediatric patient, and injuring at least another 19 people. The deadly crash, which erupted...

The rumor from the school house is Brown will be hiring 30/month through October.

I do think you still have a chance at a legacy, I have a good friend who bent the airframe of a 767 and was hired by Delta 2 years later. All your failures are opportunities to explain what you learned from the situation and how you have improved as a person/pilot. I think you need to pace...

Usually it does. After the automated AWOS/ASOS the controller will add: tower operations 0600 - 2200 local. Unless they forget to flip the switch and you’re listening to a 6 hour old ATIS - happens more than you’d expect.

Christain and now you? You guys might be on to something.

Dearborn, sure, that income will stretch a ways. Oakland County, not so much.

505 Boeing hours 15 Piper hours Still have a one more pairing before years end.

Are you saying you didn’t enjoy doing the flight plans, GenDecs, eAPIS, hotels, catering and rental cars? Congrats! I’ll echo what ScreemingEmu said, it’s pretty damn easy, unless wx craps the bed, you divert, dispatch forgets about you and you end up at your alternate with no stairs and an...

Yes. They tough it out until they can hold a day line or jump ship for a legacy.

I just did it yesterday and it allowed me to edit my details. If it's already said and done, I'd first reach out to OKC and see if they have an guidance.

GA has lost a lot of luster for me, but it’s not completely gone. I fly GA 2-4hrs a month to stay current and do the $100 breakfast or burger run. It is also quite convenient to load the golf clubs and head up to Boyne, Traverse City or Mackinac Island for the weekend. The 1hr flight sure beats...

I have an antique full size wood prop hanging in my office, it probably weights 20-30lbs. It's fairly easy if you can find a stud. If not, go to Home Depot and get a 70lbs drywall anchor. Or, you can find a stud and put a backer board, paint it to match your wall and anchor the prop to that.

I believe it was a Phenom leaving TEB.

This is what I used until I received global entry for free with my Amex. It's the hidden gem that no one knows about.

Global Entry - You're welcome.

That's pretty wild! The picture attached is the Japanese fishing fleet. We could see the glow for hundreds of miles but couldn't make out what it was until were were nearly over it. Somewhat relevant to this thread: My buddy was up north for Labor day weekend and saw, what he thought were...

Welp, I found my next project.

Did you make that or purchase it? That's bad ass!

That’s quite the story, Fox (or is it shark?). Congratulations on the mile stone! I’m not far behind you in age, but I was late to the game. I think i soloed at 21yo or around there.

Better rides, topping wx and lower fuel burns We routinely did 450-470 in the Falcon. If there is a 410 club, I haven’t heard of it. We did it for the reasons I stated at the beginning of the post.

My Dad has owned this place since 1997. I bought into it when I sold my Cheetah and moved back to MI.

Another victim of the Pitler regime. This was no accident.

Southern Florida had some higher class courtesy cars, from what I remember.
