For those of us non-121 folks, what does this mean? Is this where people write funny graffiti for other pilots?

Airplane graffiti. There are 'typical' spots where people put stuff. Pilots get bored quickly and I guess people do it to pass time or something.

Finding your initials or your name along with a phrase or abbreviated on the inside of a 121 cockpit is absolutely horrendous. I had a guy go practically ballistic when he read his initials on the back of a panel once.

I actually just got a text from a friend (which I am kind of hoping is a joke but I doubt it) about an FO from here just getting hired at a legacy carrier. Not only is the guy an FO with no PIC, but he's also on the back of just about every compass correction card in the fleet and on a lot of captain's "one of us is calling out sick for this trip" lists.

Oh well.

No dude, on the numbers!!! I'm 42 and sometimes my students hit so hard, I'm jamming the power on as I feel the plane settle and ball starts it's unrecoverable path from yellow to red and BAM!!! he hit. I try not to interfere but I get enough power on so as not to break the jet. But damn, it hurts sometimes lol

There was a DH in another un-named squadron when we were bouncing last summer for Truman's deck cert that 904'd a jet doing night FCLP's. 904 is an MSP (computer fault code) that tells you the jet was overstressed on landing. A 903 is an overstress that requires a visual inspection and is not uncommon. 904 requires the jet to be jacked up and thoroughly inspected.....can happen from deck movement or letting the nose slam down too hard on a trap, but I have never known someone to do it ashore until then. I'm sure mx was pretty stoked :)

But yeah, in a jet you absolutely have to have a "no further aft" point on the throttle(s) in the groove. I'm sure that position, or the "hey I can no longer safely correct this high" wisdom hasn't been burned into your stud's mind yet. That and you have to do things at the field in the -45 with the throttle that would get you killed behind the boat (or sent home VFR direct by paddles), especially in something like a Hornet/Rhino.

Good reason not to take a sim job. How many hrs does an IP get a year?
Click to expand...

A T-45 IP? Complete depends on whether he is in a squadron, wing (like me) or an associate IP. Squadron IP's should get the most and they fly like they should, 300-400 a year I think. Those that fly a lot can get 400+. Wing guys generally get less, I've averaged 290 hours in a year. Associate IP's from CNATRA, a lot less than that, as well as Reserve pilots.
