The most dangerous situation with flaps is an asymmetric deployment. You are usually low and slow when you put them down and if they come out uneven it could be deadly. Id suggest that all control surfaces and engine controls should be checked on the ground before you start the engine where a probl...

Well, 2 can play that game. The FAA specifically states that I need to show evidence of PIC time but nowhere does it state how much PIC time. Therefore, theoretically I can pay ~30$ for 6 minutes of PIC on the same multi I did my training on and legally meet the requirements. Dramatics aside I'm goi...

Yep, I suckered myself out of PIC time. That's on me. My question is still valid however, in order to rectify the situation.

No photo, not anymore. I was PIC during my PPL flight test, but they changed the CARS (recently within a year) to say that the examiner is PIC during a flight test.

The Ville-Marie circuit is a fun and useful way to learn how to enter and deal with controlled airspaces, as well as following ATC instructions and improving situational awareness. Plus it makes for some romantic as hell moments *ahem*. If you are really lucky and you want to depart the circuit west...

Hi guys, I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but I am currently in the process of being relocated to the U.S. and have some clarification questions regarding the FAA Advisory Circular 61-135A that I'm hoping someone here has had experience with. Question 1: I hold an almost finished CPL-A (s...

It should be automatic jail time for attempted manslaughter.

The CSeries comes with a free lapdance by Alain Bellemare.

No I got that, I was only speaking of the required flight experience.

The instructor I asked at my school said I also needed 75% of the CPL instrument hours to take the flight test, so 15, but I see nothing about that in the CARS or anywhere on TC's website

Thanks to both of you. P.s. SSU I'm having way too much fun to rush anything.

Yep, correct on both.

My question was simply to clarify the requirements with regards to the flight test.

Honestly, my reasoning was the longer I wait to do it, the more review flights I'm going to need to do to get the procedural stuff up to scruff. I passed the written in October 2014, so I don't want to dick around too long and let that expire. I think I have all the dual requirement anyways, any add...

Hi folks! I have a quick question regarding the CPL flight test. The only description of experience requirement to take the test I've found is: "evidence of having completed no less than 75% total flying experience required for the CPL licence;" Does that simply mean having 150 hours total, or does ...

E-z-p-z, we outsource most of our code checking to Indian low cost centers anyways.

Sorry guys, my lowly engineering degree is causing me to overthink this.

Boeing has some wicked sorcerers working for them.

Whatever that other education/trade is, make sure it isn't engineering at a university. +1 on what pianokeys said. Become an electrician or plumber, or similar trade. With those occupations you can do side work. With engineering, not so much. What's wrong with engineering. High-tech low-pay all the...

I thumb my nose at the peasants who don't have 60 large lying around.
