So, you get a discretion on a level 2 exemption for your carrier certificate when you compromise the internal security of the aircraft operating environment by violating the common contract of carriage that the passenger implicitly agrees to with the airline? It's a UK thing?

The level 2 exemption is what allows a licensed and qualified carrier to carry unlicensed multinationals without first conducting verifications against tertiary nation-state databases with Interpol. All part of the .21X thing that came out a few years ago after all the incidents. Obviously, hjp766 is saying that TCX now has a discretion on their level 2 exemption, meaning that they'll need to conduct more thorough procedures and verify their screening standards are correctly querying the universal IATA redress certifications. It's a European thing.

It's a European thing. Both wrong in UK terms... The level 2 exemption extends a 2 sector duty by a max of 1hr (in our case to 14hrs15) with 2 crew and is awarded on a flight by flight case by the CAA.... You have 1 hour discretion to get home (aka go to 15hrs15) but any use of this is a Mandatory Occurrence/Discretion Report to the CAA. More than 25% go to discretion on these and we have to go back to night stops. After the 1hr you land and go to a hotel... no alternatives. In the end we landed after 14hrs and 20 minutes back home.

This is the problem when trying to describe things you work with daily... the total number of manual pages we have to deal with runs to about 10000 (Ops A, B, C & D, Ground Ops Manual, PPP, PSA, FCTM Vol 1 & 2, then all FCNs (comprising General, Flight Deck & Fleet specific)) Now when EASA rules kick in at the end of the year someone can explain all the new versions of those to me!

You may eventually learn. This whole thread and forum in general are FULL of people who know how to take advanced concepts and not turn them into acronym salad or jargon. There was a problem in the early days of the thread with people saying stuff like "I got a Q code from EYR to PQB! WTF." with responses of "Dude, get Z or G into PQB, duh!" Enough people in this thread are untrained and complained about the confusion, so those people making the jargon-filled posts did one of two things: 1) Learned to post better 2) Quit posting Your options are there.

I had to deal with my first medical emergency as an airline pilot yesterday, which ended up being very straightforward thanks to a bizarre set of coincidences. Shortly after we pushed back (just as the captain was releasing the parking brake to taxi), the flight attendants called to tell us that there was a passenger having a pretty bad seizure, and we needed to get medical help ASAP. Since we'd just pushed back from the gate, the captain was able to just make a sharp turn back into the parking spot we'd just left, and the paramedics were on board within probably three minutes of me asking the ramp controller to send them. The leg before, we'd taken a 20 minute delay due to a mix of flow control and a closed runway at another airport, and ATC added another few minutes of vectors and speed restrictions on top of that. Once we got to the gate, the idiots we contract to "assist" passengers with wheelchairs added about another 10 minutes to our delays by deciding not to show up, and we took a final, brief (maybe 30 second) delay when the ground controller asked us to follow an aircraft that took some time to taxi past us. Had we not taken that final delay, the situation would have been only slightly more complicated, since we probably would have had to pull off and shut down on a taxiway to wait for the paramedics, but had we actually been running on time for the flight, the seizure would have hit when we were in the middle of nowhere over Montana, and it would have been at least 20 minutes before we'd have been able to get to an airport that had any kind of medical services available, so it ended up being a situation where Murphy's Law turned out to be helpful.

So, I flew through Heathrow yesterday. Was I flying out at a particularly busy time, or is it just hosed up in general? I think I saw six planes lined up to take off (three in front of us, our plane, and then at least two more behind us). I don't think I've seen anything like that, even at major hubs in North America. The terminal itself was pretty easy to get through, though; I don't know why everyone was warning me about it. It would have been quick and easy if the passengers in front of me were able to read the instructions and get through a security inspection in a reasonable fashion. How the gently caress have you reached international connections in London, while apparently having no clue how airport security works?

I got a Facebook group invite today to support a Bill to "Change FAA Hiring". Figuring it had to do with 1500, I took a look, only to learn that (and I later read bits and pieces in the ATC thread) the FAA threw out CTI-trained applications and launched the "Take a Questionnaire to see if You Can Be A Controller!" survey?  What political genius with an aim of Improving Safety In Our Skies Through Doing The Strangest Thing Possible figured THAT was a good idea? It sounds like they want to be more diverse, but just giving the finger to people who put in all that effort?  Pilots: You need specialized training from approved FAA programs to even THINK of sitting in a regional jet after Colgan! ATC: You needed specialized training from approved FAA programs, but we changed our minds. Sorry! CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 15:33 on May 2, 2015 |

Yep, they made their own approved college programs redundant starting with last year's open ATC hiring announcement. The one this year that just closed was the same. The questionnaire excludes a huge number of applicants before they even get a chance to take the written/practical exam. It has excluded prior FAA Controllers from returning to the agency. It's bad times. And those who paid money to go to ATC College are left with tossing their name into the same hat as anyone else.

lol I'm getting an aviation technology degree with a CTI focus Have zero intention on using the CTI part though, just did that so I could have more freedom/flexibility on which classes I took compared to the professional pilot focus. Good to know it's even more worthless now. :college: edit: also got my tailwheel endorsement today

I think our time on the ground at Heathrow was roughly 1/4 of the flight time. In that case you lucky man it has been quiet when you've been through the above. Heathrow makes it obvious with only one departure runway so the queues are long and distinguished (Barcelona we also allowed 45minutes taxi time for this reason). If you try Frankfurt when 18 is closed because of tailwind you will see gridlock as it is single runway departures. Normal queue is 5/6 aircraft per runway when it is quiet.

Anyone have experience with glider clubs in the Chicago area? I'd be going for my glider rating (currently private ASEL). It seems like most clubs aren't really setup for instruction so it could take quite a while to earn the rating based on instructor availability. I'm also considering taking a week off to do a rating-in-a-week deal somewhere with more lift, then joining a local club to rent. Any thoughts?
