Wow! Buddy keeps this up, and one of these days, the Grim Reaper will catch him. All of his friends will ask "Why?? He was such a good pilot!"

Rock, Alti...go upstairs to say 'Hi" to Mom and Dad...you shouldn't spend so long in the basement.

Ozon, give it up. You're almost as bad as that numpty that was on here a few years back arguing for a flat earth..

OK, a bunch of extraneous posts have been deleted.

Carry on...without the squabbles. We are all on the same team (get home safely each day) here..

Headsets are like partners: some like blondes, others brunettes - in the end, all of the top end headsets are pretty much the same, and it's all personal preference. FFS, !!DONT!! buy the $200 Amazon cheapies! in a year, you'll end up buying the headset that you should have bought now, and you'll ha...

OK, now that we're down to insults, I think that this has been beaten to death and then some..

Just to be clear, this wasn't a case of forgetting to lower the gear!

what's the connection with the Dambusters? After the deluge, 617 Sqdn had a fairly large group of highly trained, and experienced aircrews around, so they were re-purposed into a force that was used on targets that required greater than usual accuracy: shipping canals, railway tunnels, viaducts and...

Doesn't anyone use "Mayday!" any more?

I'm sure that 'Learn, or you're out' is a fairly strong motivator!

Fortunate to still be working when so many are not; upgraded into LHS a month ago..

^ Sure, but what's your bias ? Are you one of those laid-off airline guys desperately looking for a seat anywhere? As always, it comes down to the candidate...but then an employer needs to have some basis for winnowing the pile of resumes.

Who says he didn't make the engine fail and tried to kill you?

No, Dude! God does good things; its Satan, demons, and Democrats that make bad things happen!

And, didn't arm Autofeather.
Time of the accident was 0 dark 30...I'm thinking that fatigue had a bit to do with this...

Does anyone know the Canadian CARs equivalent of FAA Part 135, 91. and 121, please?
