Your Career Progression ... in flight deck images

[KSCessnaDriver]

2011-2013; I flew blimps. The cockpit (gondola) probably isn't as exciting as you may have thought.

Crap, I don't remember SN12 being such a clean ship. I only flew it like 20 hours in training back in 2011. SN18 was super clean, until it decided to fly unmanned.

Here's mine.

2011-2013 Airships

2013-present
PA-31

That's the best I can do for a PA-31 like what I fly. Take out all the fancy avionics. Old school single channel radios. Only the finest for the boxes

SN12 was much cleaner than SN05, which is where I spent most of my career. In fact, I only have about 170 hours in the A-60+. The rest was all Rotax.

I have less than 90 in an A-60+. Took my ride in one with 20 hours or so

Electric flaps??? Its an abomination. .

They worked great in the 'toga. Used the air conditioning as a speed brake...

I distinctly remember the Limbach engines in the + models were terrible with carb icing. A snow cone machine would be jealous of how much ice those things produced.

I had one out over Long Island that even with the carb heat on, it was so full of ice, I thought it was going to die.

While I was a CFI, I also did part 91 flying in Saratogas and King Airs (2001-2003): This was a Saratoga I delivered to the Oshkosh 2003 Airshow: Nearly identical to the King Air 90 that I flew...also flew a 1980 200 model: Pinnacle Airlines, CRJ-200 (2003-2007): Now begins Delta: MD-88 (2007) 757/767 (2007-2010): 737NG (2010-2011): And now the A319/320 (2011-present):

Four years at a regional...

That must have been nice...

Can we talk for a second about why your 208 has retractable landing gear?

Not sure if applicable, but many companies with a varied fleet put the switches in the planes with straight legs to keep it in the flow...

 

[ricecakecm]

Flight instructed and built time in a variety of piston singles and twins.

First turbine job

Moved up to King Air 90s and 350s

First jet

Then to the Phenoms

Now I fly a desk and I love my job.

Then a furlough resulted in this: (i should clarify that the AMF cockpits do NOT look this clean haha)

Recalled back to the EMB (different picture for variety?)

And finally: (left seat)

Pretty eclectic career path and certainly not what I planned on, but I'm hoping it ends up putting me in the place I'd like to end up. Time will tell, and it's sure been a good ride in the meantime!
