Be careful....

Watching old movies made me think parana were a much bigger problem.

and quicksand

 

[BEEF SUPREME]

When I was a kid, it felt like it was something people actually played after a bad card game. That, plus I thought I had a 100% chance of having to, at one point in my life, escape quicksand and make huge jumps with dirt bikes.

Only if you're lucky...

Ooops' I just noticed quicksand was actually the underpinning of the Piranha post.

Not trying to excuse what happened there, that’s wild. But landing and departing 33 at BUR happens maybe a few times a year, it’s not normal at all. They’re generally timing departures off 15 there between arrivals on 8. But if they really launched someone w ASH on 1.3 mile final that seems really strange.

There’s def something going on w the FAA though. Like we’ve said before, the results of years and years of overwork and needing to certify anybody that shows up may be rearing its ugly head. If only somebody would actually do something before the holes in the Swiss cheese line up and the inevitable disaster actually happens. Sure seems like we’re coming close.

It’s getting to the point where flying in and out of non-towered fields is looking pretty good. What was that ASOS freq?

 

[Cherokee_Cruiser]

I still remember ATC hiring changing by not taking those who were ATC school and changing the app to ask what sport you played in high school.

I can only assume this deterioration is at least somewhat a result. Just like the handling of the Eva 777 at LAX.

I’ve heard a few stories and they are scary. You know someone you think “dang, this guy shouldn’t be driving cars let alone flying jets.” Well the same thing exists for controllers.

The FAA went woke on their ATC hiring criteria, just like United with their AVIATE nonsense.

What’s really scary, you’ll be announcing your position on ASOS. Everyone else will be on CTAF.

Skål!

Now you’re speaking my language!
