Man that’s a relief. There’s a guy at the training facility that will absolutely claim something is wrong with it before screwing up my entire application every time.

I like Garmin Pilot personally and it is available for the iPad. It's annoying that it only syncs with Garmin avionics though. Foreflight will link up to a Stratus or whatever and give you ADS-B traffic on the display, while Garmin Pilot only does that with their own ecosystem.

I assume that'll depend on getting approval from their FSDO/POI to change the course, but I don't know if the FAA issued any kind of blanket statement saying that'll be temporarily allowed like they did for medical expirations.

There was a mid-air collision over Coeur d'Alene Lake in Northern Idaho. I grew up going to that lake a lot in the Summer and would watch those float plane tours take off and land all day long. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/jul/05/kootenai-sheriff-coast-guard-responding-to-downed-/ https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/jul/06/third-victim-recovered-from-plane-crash-over-lake-/ quote:The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office confirmed two people died in a plane collision over Lake Coeur d’Alene on Sunday afternoon, and as many as eight people may have been onboard the two aircraft.

Rolo posted:Can you look at boobs on an aera when you’re done flying? No but you can't on a company iPad either. Well you can but you're going to get called into the office when you watch so much porn that you exceed the company data limit by %500. Then the union rep who is legally required to defend you against the company is "accidentally" going to let slip what happened. Eventually your story will be re-told on dead comedy forums. This is all completely hypothetical of course. Captain Apollo posted:Any word if part 141 universities are going to be able to continue teaching via online course delivery for their ground schools in the fall? Any university worth their salt is going to have a congressperson/representative on retainer who would probably be happy to lean on the local FSDO if they don't allow it.

Captain Apollo posted:Ohhhhhhhh no. Yeah basically gently caress that. Being a 121 pilot I was ignorant of this until the RAA put out a statement saying while it has good intent, it’s going to let future employers peek at your past employer-only files. Not really great that you could get passed over for hiring because you goofed something during recurrency or said something rude to the chief pilot.

PT6A posted:Wow, Colgan Air is the diarrhea-filled rear end that just won't stop making GBS threads US aviation, isn't it? This is the Atlas crash. Colgan started PRIA, but Atlas accidentally found a loophole in that system (or part of it that simply wasn't working yet), so this is an attempt to fix that issue. If I remember right, the FO had some training failures that were reported under PRIA, but he had at least one where he'd technically resigned before getting to an actual training event, and possibly one where he simply didn't list the employer on his application, so no PRIA request was ever sent to them. azflyboy fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Jul 10, 2020 |

That’s not a good comparison, and this opens the doors for all sorts of pettiness from companies to stunt pilots chances to find better work. I’m cringing just thinking about how some of my previous sociopath Part 91/135 bosses would use the new rules as a tool for intimidation or revenge, if “disciplinary action” will be part of PRIA records.

Imagine if you had to chose between safety of the flight or having your next employer see you written up for “policy violations.” I’ve worked for enough complete jerks to know some people will stop at nothing to destroy a persons career if they cross them.

I already know of one “If you don’t fly the airplane back get a taxi cause you’ll be fired” crash. I worked with the same people and I am sure that if the new rules had been under effect they would have hosed me over along with half of the people who went through there.

e.pilot posted:and the pilot shortage is for all intents and purposes over, so good loving luck saying no when there’s a stack of resumes behind you I think most airlines will start hiring again in late 2022*. Most airlines are staff for the peak summer travel season and are currently overstaffed for their projected summer 2021 numbers. I'm guessing we see furloughs or hiring freezes until we know what 2022 looks like. After that the big 3 here in the states have record retirement numbers that last until the end of the decade. The massive movement of the past three years probably isn't coming back but it doesn't look like we're in for another lost decade. *Assuming we don't get another world war, civil war, pandemic, economic collapse, terrorist attack, oil crisis, or alien invasion.
