Re: Anyone had LASIK/PRK done recently?

I'm not sure if it is the surgeon's duty to advise TC that you had the surgery. I know when I had my surgery done, on the form it asked if I was a pilot and I can't remember if it asked for my license # too.

Re: Anyone had LASIK/PRK done recently?

I had Lasik done last year. It was great. My vision was at -4.00 both eyes and after the procedure i'm seeing well better than 20/20. The procedure itself was less than 5 min in the operating room. It was painless and I was able to see right after the procedure. I even took the subway home, by mysel...

Re: Satellite phones

Actually we've tried switching antenea many times. Its just not one phone, it seems to be company wide. We use the Iridium phones to call in our next ETA, for flight following purposes, and we never seem to get any signals. However, I do agree that the Iridiums are much more reliable than the Global...

Re: Satellite phones

We use the Iridiums and they aren't reliable at all. Every single time I need to make a call, its either I don't have a signal or the other phone I'm calling doesn't have a signal. Very dissappointing.

I think the gear down circuits is a common practice at YKZ. I see it all the time there. Maybe to save on maintenance costs or maybe to prevent gear up landings while doing circuits? Who knows but I don't agree with it.

I'm guessing there may have been some airspace restriction in that area due to Montebello Summit. Possibly someone not checking the notams or was a little lost.
