Re: THE WORLD'S FIRST JET PILOT

Mr Wings. I was reminded of how horrible a situation our soldiers were put into because of a truly evil leader and a nation so enamoured and willing to blindly follow him.

Re: Straight-in Approaches

GPS units typically won't automatically set their CDI scale down to ±0.3NM Very true, however you can manually set them to 0.3nm. If you are doing an RNAV overlay of a VOR or NDB approach, why would you bother monitoring the navaid? You are still doing the NDB approach, using the GPS (RAIM Availabl...

In my opinion I think the fundamental problem with initiating a guild or association is that the majority of pilots feel/think that there is a competion between each other. Compete to get that first ramp/instructing job. Compete to get on the line/bag run first and so on. The problem in making a sta...

Another ATPL question.

I know that the SARON/SAMRA written exams are valid for two years by default. If you are an active flight crew on a transport category aircraft over 12500 do the same rules apply? Or does this keep them active (for lack of a better term.).

Get that right seat in a twin. Chances are the company has a few singles kicking around. Fly them. You learn the area with a knowledgeable person next to you, feel more confident when you're cut loose in the wilderness. Talking about Northern flying of course.
