Yellow Hammer MBA, please understand that these are different times in aviation. We as pilots really need to cover our own asses these days. If the aircraft was too hot or the pilot was likely to believe it would have become too hot, then he did the corrrect thing. Understand that managers push push...

Well said Cat.

We can only say one thing with absolute certainty.

Doc would have put the gear down

And then probably would have had sex with your wife/GF.

Cat, you would be a great reporter for FOX news. Try not to take what I am saying out of context. Would you agree there are different levels of pilots flying in the commercial sector? Another point worth making is some of the guys I have met who now fly jets across the country did in fact dig ditche...

Some good stuff here. As for Cat, DD and Doc, all three of you are clearly successful pilots, you have all "made it" in this industry and that in itself is something to be proud of. What I think gets past successful people like you sometimes is that there are a wide range of people in this industry,...

Just want to reiterate the last line of the above post is sarcasm. I do not know the pilots in question but I would personally find it hard to believe they are both fools.

DD I think we both know what a good pilot is. Somebody above gave a couple of great examples. I have flown the Navajo enough to know that landing with the gear up is a very very very hard thing to do. The fact that it happens is shocking, but it does, and I will argue that all people who leave the g...

Wholeheartedly agree with the above. Working in the environment we do sometimes has a strange effect on people. We can easily become creatures of habit. I have seen on numerous occasions and been guilty of myself getting caught in some unique situations (Not including leaving the gear up, so don’t s...

Understood Cat, so as soon as you retract that statement about being led by the hand of ATC and flying a computer instead of being a "real pilot" like you we can get back on common ground. DD, I have met some guys in this industry that on the way up have the attitude you are referring to. Let's just...

CAT, really, do you really think I am condoning wrecking airplanes. All I am saying is that what is done is done, I am glad nobody is hurt. These jobs are the proving grounds for pilots in this industry. I bet, if you personally knew the pilots involved in any of these recent accidents you would not...

Doc Look, im not trying to start a fight here, above is meant for a bit of a laugh. I think you misunderstand me, I am not condoning nor am I saying we should accept these accidents as they are. However, I do have a problem with you getting so high and mighty about it. You don’t know this crew, neit...

Nice DD, I have flown 703 now 705 and can say that I strive to be one of the most profesional individuals I can. Get off your Fing high horse and understand that mistakes are going to happen, it is inevitable. Gears have been left up, and they will continue to be left up. It isnt right but it will h...

DOC, OFD, CAT, yes, the important thing is that everybody is ok. It is metal, no it isn’t right that the gear got left up, but what do you expect! Accident’s happen. I just have to really wonder where this idea comes from that pilots are some superior beings who should be the "cream of the crop". Th...

Just glad the people are ok, that is really all that matters.

OFD- It is clear you are and island, you need no man, nor do you need any government to help you out. Those who do require help or fall on hard times, or perhaps expect certain things out of elected representatives are weak and have no place on your island. Judge a society by how it treats its most ...

+1, pay our doctors better, reduce hospital wait times, these are the things that are important.

Premium price for a superior product ie: direct flight. Makes sense to me.

tiggermmouth, you misunderstand taxes, where they go, ane what they are for. you are operating on assumptions that income tax pays for these things you listed. thats not correct. freemen dont oppose all taxes.those roads you talk about, they are not yours. they belong to the queen. and when i buy g...

The truth here Freeman is that a small segment of society will expend huge amounts of effort exploiting loopholes and omissions in the written language to avoid paying for a cup of coffee. That's you. You're not enlightened, you're a drain on society. Very funny, and so true, I think the unfortunat...

Edit

Thanks again guys, Hedley, based on the helpful link you provided 337's are considered approved in USA and perhaps not so in Canada, basically these need to be substantiated by either one of the two forms or a logbook entry? In terms of the highlighted portion in your cut and paste please explain. I...

Thanks Guys, Great info, Can I recieve information regarding the 337's If I purchase the information provided by the FAA registry N-Number Inquiry (about $10) also, will this give me info regarding any liens. I know you will probably tell me to contact the FAA but anything to minimize interaction wi...

Cessna 150, I have done as much as I can to assertain the log books are up to date and have read the TC form. The AC is located in Florida, I almost want to fly an AME down and go through all the paperwork and cover every base that can be covered down there before purhcasing the AC and flying it hom...

Hello,
