The Telex 5x5 comes with a head band with a generic ear insert for one ear. The moulded one from Costco fits nicely in...

Because it leaves you with only brake accumulator pressure and no nose wheel steering. Also it's not necessary for anything but showing off and proving to yourself how great you are. If you get stopped short and have to restart to go the rest of the way you make yourself and your airline look like ...

Just want to make sure I understand this in a nutshell. So I am leaving say FL300 at mach .75, sake of arguement the ASI is showing 220, when given at transition speed of say 270, I'd maintain the decent at .75 until my ASI reaches 270, once I reach 270 I maintain that.

A retired 747 captain told me he used to tell people he was a High speed, off road, heavy equipment operator.

I was just curious if you guys have a standard landing configuration. Obviously field length and weather will change these but I was curious what you guys land the -800 with? Flaps 30 autobrake 2? On the -800 do you turn off the trim air before shutdown and turn it on after start up? If you don't h...
