He'd be cooler if it was a TBM made by GM.  Though I guess those do have a tendency to go missing in South Florida....

As far as I've seen Steveo is a good pilot with solid skills, neat flights and no pilot deviations so he's alright in my book.

a patagonian cavy posted:https://fearoflanding.com/accidents/accident-reports/hes-a-terror-in-a-twin/ This reads a lot like that B-52 that lawn darted in the mid-1990s where the dude wanted people to fly with him and other officers strictly forbade anyone in their Wings to do so, only the pilot in ^that^ report is ten times dumber. The B-52 guy was just a tear-rear end. quote:When it arrived at the self-serve fuel station, it knocked over a ladder with one of its propellers.  e- Damnit, meant to edit the previous post, not double-post.

When someone called him out on it in the comments his reply was "YOU ARE CORRECT, it was 6000 at WULFE not CISBI now that I take a second look it does show 7700 at CISBI, our mistake, THANKS FOR RIDING ALONG !" What puzzles me is that even if they crossed CISBI at 8000' it's 8.1 miles to the FAF at 6000' which is less than a 3 degree glideslope. They should have had no problem not only getting down, but having room to slow down so they didn't overspeed the flaps. CBJSprague24 posted:He seems cool enough, I was just curious.

It's been about a decade, probably a little longer, and from what I can remember the Saab never flew much in MIA. It was mostly an ATR base.

If you're not a good pilot and you let yourself get behind the plane it can be really hard to lose altitude and airspeed in a light twin (or anything faster) so I can totally see Wagner struggling with what should be an easy approach. By far the biggest adjustment for me when I started flying the twin was being more conscious of energy management. You can't just half-rear end it the same way you can with a 172. He's perennially behind the airplane, so it makes sense he'd cock that up.

I dunno. I don’t think any plane with propellers is hard to slow down or go down. loving 300’ is the standard instrument student altitude error anyway, easily correctable.

PC12 slows down and gets down pretty easily. Practice emergency descents are hilarious. e: the PC12 is incredibly easy to fly, far far easier than a light twin, it’s just that Jerry is an idiot

Who wants more Jerry fuckwittedness? Let’s do stalls in a light twin over a populated area at 1500agl, oh also uncoordinated as gently caress because why not. Let’s not recover properly and go into a secondary stall. Also let’s put on display a complete lack of knowledge and understanding of why the plane is able to fly below “stall speed” in a light twin with only one person onboard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP5lgb8EnUU God I love him so much.

he doesn't use the words "blast pad" once in that video. does he even know what "the chevrons" are called or why they're there? it's like his entire flying skillset is cargo-culted. oh, you can do this, i saw a citation do it once, and i heard you can do a maneuver like this so here it is, and this is a thing pilots say at this time so i'll say it too -- but zero comprehension of why anything is done (or not done!) and no ability to analyze his own behavior. christ e: aaaa i can't take it. i read the comments on one of his videos where he makes an offhand comment that he likes to roll to the last taxiway to "save the brakes." a commenter says "i notice you taxi with your engines at 1000rpm, you can control the plane better and use less braking if you keep the throttle down near idle, 850rpm or so." he replies "my engines don't run well below 1000" and uhhhhhhhhhhhh isn't part of the runup checklist pulling your engines to idle to make sure they don't run rough or die???? and he's flying around like that?? aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 08:26 on Nov 15, 2019 |

He must’ve worked for IBC. They’re the only Saab operator out of Miami that I know of. The Saabs replaced ancient Metroliners in maybe 2012 or so.

I am doing market research. The university (USA) I work for is offering a degree completion program. If you have FAA certificates, we are planning on offering college credit that will get you an Aviation themed university degree. The degree requires other gened and aviation (online) courses but up to 30 hours will transfer based on FAA certificates (private, instrument, commercial, CFI, MEI, ATP, etc) I need some volunteers who don't have a bachelors degree, but do have some pilot certificates and possible a few gen eds to give me their opinions on our proposed degree plan. Basically, I need some real world examples to try and help me figure out if we're offering something that might match market demand. Please PM me for more info.

  Got my MEI today! My program with ATP is done!This was after my checkride got pushed back 5 times, so I guess I got babby’s first schedule fuckery in the aviation world. Going to indoc on December 2nd, officially instructing at KSAC the week after. Super excited and relieved! In other news, Jerry continues to be an asshat.

Rickety Cricket posted:These Jerry W posts just get better and better I showed him to my flight instructor today after we got back. Went from "that's a really bad approach...I mean maybe he had the runway in sight at minimums, but like, a quarter second before at most" to "I mean, that's definitely not the sight picture you should expect when you pop out, clearly he flew the whole thing wrong" then after a few more clips, "He's in a sixty-degree bank a hundred feet above the ground!!?? On final??" to "Oh my God I mean obstacles look closer than they are but that's the bay bridge and he's banked...I don't know what that is! Eighty degrees??" to "Yeah, he's a cowboy who can't do anything wrong and won't listen to anyone. He's going to be one of the guys where after he crashes, the investigators ask everyone in the room "were you surprised that he crashed?" and everything says no. What an rear end in a top hat" And in the midst of it all the guy at the desk popped in and was like "ooooo, are we talking about Jerry?" so lol yeah he's a well known terror.

Regional class date is coming up and once I get settled into that job I'll be pursuing the degree. I haven't begun to look into anything like this yet so I'm not sure how enticing 'up to 30' hours sounds.

Let me rephrase. Up to 30 credit hours will be given for FAA certificates. You can transfer as much as possible from previous institutions for the university degree. So I think how we imagine it goes like this. People with CFI from a part 61 school or 141 school never got their bachelors. But they’ve taken a couple years worth of undergrad courses. They come to us, we enroll them in upper level aviation courses and when they’re finished with the amount they need, we issue credit for their certificates and give them a bachelors. It won’t count for restricted ATP minimums, but it would help for those looking for a degree completion program. Another way of looking at it: 120 hours needed for a Bachelors 30 credits (up to) to be given based on certificates 21 ish upper level aviation courses to take (and some taken elsewhere would be eligible for transfer) Remaining would be GenEd stuff.

Finish your ratings, and wear long sleeves. If your tattoos aren't covered up by long sleeves/pants enjoy the excruciating pain of laser tattoo removal. Comedy option: Get a job interview and show up looking like this. Captain Apollo posted:It won’t count for restricted ATP minimums, but it would help for those looking for a degree completion program. Let me be blunt: This is stupid, not Jerry levels of stupid but it's up there. Why would someone who already has their certificates want to get a degree in aviation that doesn't qualify for a restricted ATP?

What’s the name of the university? I have a few years towards a bachelors in chemistry, a CFI-II-MEI-ATP-A&P and will maybe be looking for a four year in something in the future but won’t start until my schedule improves one way or another.

I think the premise originally cane about because many of our own CFIs weren’t finishing their degrees because of the good job market. Now those same students with more than half of their degree finished are wishing they had finished their bachelors degree. They don’t need the hours, because they already have them. I believe this is a way for them (and others) to be able to accomplish that goal.

Mao Zedong Thot posted:how do I get a flying job with a bs, half a ppl, and visible tattoos? 😭😭😭 Where I work, the policy is that pilots can't have visible tattoos (oddly enough, it's okay for flight attendants), but there's no issue if you cover them with long sleeves or a band-aid. There's a part of the policy that says you can't wear a compression sleeve or something to cover up tattoos, but that section is routinely ignored.
