BE58 Configuration (ILS)

In training I found flying the GS at blueline and popping a motor 75' prior to DH took some effort - each time they took the engine off me I descended below minimums which the instructor didn't like at all. We then flew the slope at 120KIAS all the way down and I nailed the S.E. Go around each time.
Not saying anyone is wrong doing what they're doing - just found it worked that way for me!

Yikes! Single-engine missed after losing one 75' above DA? That sounds sporty.

Yeah, I was introduced to this little number at Simcom when I did recurrent. We got into some discussion about speeds to fly and the instructor was out to prove a point and show me how to basically save my ass in a bad situation (or something like that!).
At the start of the approach the wx was supposed to be at mins, but it magically went 0/0 just before the left engine quit.

Hope I never have to do that one for real.....

Well, thats not very smart... You never know who you will meet in "real life" that posts or reads JC. Ive met more than a few by sheer coincidence. Aviation really is a small community.

True that.

You'd be surprised how many times I'm standing around waiting for the jumpseat and some random walks up and asks, "Hey, what's up with (username)? I don't post, but that guy is an (insert expletive here)".

True story man.
 
Minitour just happened to show up in RUT one day this summer. We grabbed lunch. I just knew him on the forums beforehand...networking can be big on these message boards.

And yes, his 'fro is as big as what's in his avatar.
 
By the way, there's very little chance that I'll ever find out who "CFI4life" really is, or know if he's applied to work for my company. And honestly, I don't really care. I'm just a line pilot.

But honestly, with the attitude he's displayed here after 500 hours of "single pilot IFR" in high-performance twins (which I'm having a tough time believing), he'll be tossed out during the first week. Sorry if that's harsh, but it's the truth. Your attitude during training is close second to who you know. Talking down to people with more experience than you (or anyone, for that matter) is not a great way to get ahead in this business.

And if it helps, I've walked in resumes for 3 people I've met on aviation forums.

Sketchy... Depending on how heavy you are and what you're flying (Think Navajo with the 1000lbs gross weight increase on a hot day) that might be a case of "AINT GOIN' MISSED!!! HOPE I FIND IT...."

Did the CFI4LIFE guy just say that he had 500 hrs single pilot IFR in a boal way??

Are you making up words, or is that local slang! :)

I even pulled out the dictionary!


Edit: Doh! on second thought I think that is just supposed to be "Bold".

I think there is something going on with the profanity filter. I got busted yesterday for it and I'm really not trying to circumvent it now.

Where I come from, we call that a WAMBY. "We ain't missin' baby!" ;)

t-cart, I'll ask the boss man about it.

Other commentary ignored.

That would be my take if it happened for real! Each time I went to Simcom they seem to come up with something to show you. I took it for what it was, but in the real world I think a go around at that point is probably dangerous at best and downright suicidal at worst....

Word.
 
Agreed. Stay on the needles. 50' above TDZE, slowly retard the power to idle and just barely get the nose-wheel up if you can. Stay on the needles. I'd take a firm 3 point "slam" (even a collapsed nose-wheel) at that point and be juuuust fine with it.
