Seriously. You can hear her trying real hard to hang on and not freak out; that's a hell of a lot better than most student pilots would have managed. Glad she was able to stay focused and ended up walking away from that.

She seemed to collect herself after the initial shock that the gear was missing. Good on she, the tower controller, and the instructors for holding it all together.

If you’re a big fat guy with insane snoring habits please stay out of the pilot lounge. Your unhealthy sleep isn’t worth the sleep of 5 others.

Now I have a great example for my students, of why you need to know your emergency procedures and do some properly good landings before I send you solo. I've got a few students who keep asking "how was that landing for being solo-ready?" It doesn't work like that, I want to see consistency, good technique, and good decision making. Yeah, it's not likely anything will happen on your first solo circuit, but, hey, people win the lottery too!

I know a guy who got hired there with zero internals a few months ago. I also know a guy with multiple internals who has a much more robust resume who can't even get an interview. So who knows what the secret formula is.

Speaking of crash pads, the current chief flight instructor at our partner school is a former regional F/O who was EWR-based and lived out of a crash pad...in Philadelphia. I figured Newark was expensive, but never thought about the fact someone would have to live 90 miles away and drive each way at the start or end of a trip.

Dont know if there is a better thread for that, but I just did my first (tandem) parachute jump and Holy. loving. poo poo. That was the most intense thing I've done in my life. I had fight or flight adrenaline througy the roof for a solid two hours after, it was a weird feeling. I'm sort of coming down now

SFU study busts myth about facial hair on pilots Only up to 25k. I don't see any US carriers or the FAA moving on this.

SFU Study posted:“We changed our policy on facial hair following this study,” he says, “to permit it to a maximum length of 12.5 mm and neatly trimmed.” That's a...very specific hair length.

Given that it's Canada, they undoubtedly started with "half an inch" (either because that's what the SFU study used, or because it was just convenient) and then went "oh poo poo, we have to make this metric" and rounded it to 12.5mm because 12.7 would be even more suspicious. See also: Canadian letter paper being 99.7% the size of US letter paper because it's 8.5x11" rounded to the nearest millimeter, Canadian fuel economy numbers being all wrong because they're allowed to say "miles per gallon" (instead of l/100km) but it has to be the British imperial gallon, everyone knowing their height in feet and inches even though all the ID cards have it in centimeters, etc Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Sep 16, 2018 |

A lot of people I know in the BC interior just use Fahrenheit. Also I think 4L jugs are just gallon jugs filled a little higher.

Although in general I like SI units, people who report wind speeds in km/h should be caned. The only people who give a poo poo about wind speed -- pilots and sailors -- use nautical miles and knots, why bother with any other unit?

Beyond that, I (and I imagine every other instructor ever) could make a similar video about instructing. There's the bad pay, the weather days where you basically just sit on your rear end not making money, dealing with the entitled rich jackasses who can't conceive of not being skilled at something or not being able to force mother nature into compliance, dealing with the hopeless cases who are 120 hours into a PPL but can't manage a normal takeoff to flight test standard, dealing with the students who try their rear end off and flew so well with you, but completely loving collapsed on a flight test, etc. If you focus on the bad parts of any job -- in aviation or any other industry -- it will suck poo poo. I don't disagree with anything he says, and that's why I'm not gunning for an airline job, but it's a matter of deciding which set of compromises you're willing to accept. I love the good parts of my job: helping people to follow their dream, meeting a bunch of cool people from different walks of life, sending people on their first solo, watching someone improve from the point where I have to take control to the point that they nail a manoeuvre perfectly, seeing someone go from blaming phantom updrafts for their poor altitude control to managing to react and hold a plane steady in continuous turbulence, and so on. The good parts are very rewarding, but you don't get those every day. Sometimes you've got to put up with the bad days, the bad students, the maintenance problems, and everything else. But there's no wrong way to be a professional pilot. If you find a way that you like, then go ahead and do that.

For what it's worth, I heard from a United recruiter after one of their presentations that internals and outside references are scored the same. And 4 gets you the max points, but again, it makes no difference (points/algorithm wise) if they come from a United person or some other.
