AirNet Training

Whoever was training with USC15 tonight around 900p, thanks for getting out of my way when I came off the runway!

Be yourself! Don't try to pretend to be some hot shot. They can see right through that. It seemed to me that they are looking for people who don't mind shooting raw data approaches down to minimums at max gross weight. Pilot Recruit wants people who want to be there, be sure to let them know this(don't be overbearing though). They tell you from Day 1 that they aren't training Baron captains, they're training Lear captains. Be polite! Say thank you and try opening doors for people. It'll go a long way with pilot recruitment. Most of all, RELAX and have fun. I had a great experience and it proved to be successful. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Yeah that was me! I was a little slow at getting my head pulled out of my @ss to finish the runway items while rolling out and then we had to hold short and get out of the way for you. Man I don't know how you guys can see that taxiway line in the rain. It's tough with all the ramp lights and what not.

First night of flight training was fun but I'm definitely not used to the steep climb profile. We had some lgt-mod rain but it was pretty smooth. We did the maneuvers in the hold and shot 2 appchs. Manual gear extension sucks and took me 4 min. All in all not a terrible first flight. The Baron is a great plane and I like the fact that we train in whatever WX is out there; probably getting us ready to step out of our comfort zone.

Yeah the transition from the parallel taxiway to the Airnet ramp is a bear! You'll have it memorized soon enough, though. Just don't do what I did. I taxied to 5L at C instead of 23R at D on my 135 ride! Who you flyin with?

Easiest way to get on the ramp, is stay away from the other planes, and keep them equidistant on your wings. After a while, all this becomes second nature and it won't be no thang cept for the chicken wang.
 
Hey! Passed my 135 checkride this morning! Looks like I'm heading to St Louis for my SIC. Anyone know who's on 243?

I should be there Mon morning. I have a friend that works for Airnet and used to be out of CPS that still has his apartment there. So I'll be staying there. I guess I'll see you Mon night...
