Cat, if you can't remember or appreciate the fact guys push the limits of their skill level every day at the early stages, just to get by, you've been out for too long. Either that or your contempt for Aviation has blinded you to the way things really are. Yes it's their own fault for being there...but it's the poor training, lack of experience, the shitty conditions and pay provided by operators. Most don't know any better ! Sometimes a pilot will bite off more than their skill level will allow them to chew...but they don't know it until it's too late.Cat Driver wrote:

...If you deliberately risk your life in a Navajo who's decision was that?
Yeh, that type of flying is definately tougher than ILS to ILS on paved runways, but the risks are only as unsafe as you choose to make them.doing circling approaches at night in shitty weather, icing, black hole, unapproved strips, poorly lighted runways ..... the list goes on ......

Sometimes I think it's a shame when I get feelin' better when I'm feelin no pain.

How do you come to the conclusion that I have a contempt for aviation?. Either that or your contempt for Aviation has blinded you to the way things really are.
If I held aviation in contempt why have I stayed in it for the past 54 years?

Of course I remember, how could I forget. Out for to long? I just retired last year.
but it's the poor training,
Who do you blame for that?
Lacking in experience is a difficult one to fix, except by getting experience......and for the sake of safety a new pilot should not be asked to do anything that would be beyond their ability......but then we are back to the fact that they were poorly trained and therefore of little real value to the operator until they are better trained.lack of experience,
Maybe there needs to be better oversite of operators?the shitty conditions and pay provided by operators.
Very true, and it has been like that ever since I can remember, so who do we look to to correct this situation?Most don't know any better ! Sometimes a pilot will bite off more than their skill level will allow them to chew...but they don't know it until it's too late.
The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Why do you want me to ask a question then answer it Localizer?You're the one with 54 yrs in aviation ..................... care to answer your own question?
Cheers,

If you really can't figure the answer out maybe aviation is not the area where you should work.
Or you could call your regional TC safety officer who may know the answer.

Are those stats published anywhere?MURRAY wrote:Bede:
That said, JZA's RJ's still lead the pack in terms of missed/blown/disregarded clearances. A small amount, true, but significantly more than any other carrier group. Remedy the apathy, and fix the world's most dangerous flight numbering system and you might just turn it around.
You mention "screwing up". From an ATC perspective, we've got a pretty good idea of when you're screwing up (i.e. you don't hear shit, you don't do what you're told, etc. etc.). How could you tell when a guy like "ROG" is doing a good job? What is a good ATC job from your vantage point? And be careful...
Murray , I could give you testimonials from a lot of pilots that you guys are the most inefficient ATC around. We love it when we have to set up for a different runway every time we are handed off. Maybe if you guys could get that straight there might less confusion in the cockpit. Also if I remember correctly did not you or one of your co-workers have a stuck mike this winter and look like a total jackass with a female Jazz pilot.
I am sure is has something to do with a lot of movement in the industry. There is a lot of learning going on. And until such time when learning has peaked and routine becomes routine, there always will be screw-ups, missed calls etc.
...Seems they are going to remove the axe and the control column from the cockpits for security reasons.
All this from a person who has flown how many approaches??CID wrote:Yah. That's 5000 posts whining about TC and 2000 attacking me. The rest are quite informative.7295 posts.... Jezuz!
That's not what I was addressing. The issue here is that having an ILS doesn't make things safer. It allows aircraft to land with lower minima. Runways that don't have an ILS have higher minima so the level of safety is maintained.Yeh, if you have an emergency and have to return to land at the departure airport you will have an ILS avaliable.
Can you grasp that idea CID?
Can you grasp THAT idea Cat Driver? Were all those water landings you made dangerous because there was no ILS?
Unfortunately that misconception is shared by others.Yeh, that type of flying is definately tougher than ILS to ILS on paved runways, but the risks are only as unsafe as you choose to make them.
If you are doing a visual approach with no nav aids, its not tougher or less safe than an ILS. If you're doing a non-precision approach to a decision height of 400 feet, it's not tougher or less safe than doing an ILS to 100 feet.
Oh yeah, I forgot you aren't a pilot are you CID.. Therefore how do you become an expert on what it takes to be a pilot??
twotter, I don't know you, you don't know me or how many approaches I've flown.All this from a person who has flown how many approaches??

I do know that you usually offer very little to discussions. You've proven to be quite irrelevant.
Tell you what. Show me where my statements are inaccurate then we'll have a discussion. In the mean time crawl back under your rock. Or is it a house made of straw?
Cheers
So, how many approaches have you flown?
This is very relevant to the discussion as you are telling everyone about how airplanes work and how approaches work..
Let us all know how many you have done to minimums... I'd be the first to congratulate you if you have done any...
Cheers

CID,
I guess you are showing your true aviation abilities here.. All you can do is piss and moan without any real knowledge or experience.
I agree with Niss on this one.. You have now shown everyone your true being.. You have nothing other than words.. Go away little one..

We're not quite done twotter. You have still failed to answer the simplest of questions. What was wrong with my original statements? Attack them instead of making it personal all the time.
My guess is that you can't find anything wrong with what I've stated so you just sling mud as usual to deflect your inability to have a polite discussion.
flyinphil,
Your post was as informative and relevant as ever. At least you're consistent. Keep up the good work!

Your original post was a load of crap and not worth comment. I stand by my request that you show your actual aviation experience as your comments show none.CID wrote:We're not quite done twotter.

I'm thinking not.. As usual you poser, you have not been able to prove any connection with the aviation industry. You have been shown to be nothing but a blowhard by many people and thereafter just go on with your bafflegab until they give up. This time you have been nailed with a direct question to prove that you actually have something to do with this industry and have chosen to attempt to divert the subject.
Guess what buddy, you are busted..
Enough is enough, a lot of us here have had enough of your crap and you are now exposed as a poser..

You may know how an ILS receiver works and for that, I don't doubt your ability. How to fly them and the safety differences between a stabilized precision approach and a non-precision approach are clearly out of your field. Stick to what you know. It lends to credibility.
