Stalking is bad, mm’kay

I’d definitely use an sat-phone (as installed) instead of yapping on VHF for something like this. Or — I know it’s not encrypted but it’s a little more non-trivial to eavesdrop upon — I’d want to use ACARS instead.

(Actually I am sort of surprised given our WiFi equipage that we don’t have some way to use that to talk more securely/encrypted to the ground.)

Whatever. At least they didn’t call in fatigued over VHF.

Calling in fatigued over acars is the way to go /s

I only know two members here at FedEx - one is a guy who pines for old Lears and the other is the JC Wunderkind who was logging MTPIC time while still in Pull-ups and nursing. So until further notice I gotta assume one of the two is the stalker.

I bet whoever it is, everyone they know will be zero percent surprised when they find out what they did. We all know “that guy.”

I don't fly a Gulfstream though! If you can get datalink weather, you can likely send a datalink message. I have always been a big fan of both pilots being locked in on their essential flying duties below 10k because that's when most of pilot deviations likely occur. It's a reason why most operators require a sterile flightdeck 10k and below. But this is just my opinion and howcI operate. I'm not saying that how others operate is wrong.

Just wait until it’s CPDLC or GTFO! :)

Extra features = extra costs. We don’t even have datalink message capability on our Challengers. But we do have sat phones on about 2/3 of our fleet so *shrugs. Making an in range call to the FBO is apart of every single one of our approach checklists which is supposed to be completed at 18k. I will say we don’t talk much about sterile cockpits below 10 in our safety meetings or as part of our safety culture. It kind of just happens organically but isn’t a cardinal sin if violated.

I am just finishing up my seventh year sabbatical so it wasn't me! And I'll have you know I was bottle fed.

Good to hear from you! Have you flown anything neat lately? (no nosewheels)?

I bought a Champ 7EC and a Mooney 201 last year. I also did my rotorcraft add on in an Enstrom 280FX. I go back to work in April and hope to have everything through CFII done in helicopters before MD11 school starts.

All you need now is a Waco! And maybe a Hughes 500 like T.C. on Magnum PI
 
I wonder what the resolution of the situation was.

But in the end, learn when to and when NOT to use VHF

I asked around in the 73 world and no one seems to “know anything”, which def tells me they do 😂

Getting any sort of info on it seems worse than pulling teeth.

My kids are still a little too young for a traditional Waco and I do not want a Cabin. I will eventually get a newer YMF-5. I spent 30 hours in a 500C in October flying in support of Helene recovery. A 500E is on the dream sheet.

500E to purchase? 620N or 600N would be my choice.
