I've heard the same thing recently from someone else with their hand in hiring. They're still refusing to hire 50% of their folks with a interview from Compass/endeavor so they're not that desperate yet. They're still looking for someone with the right personality/look to fit in with he pilot...
What makes the Dash so... not easy? Hearing people talk, its seems likes its an attrition beast in training. I flew P-3s and T-44s, so half of my logbook is Mulit-engine Turboprops, and I'm considering going to a company that flys the Dash so I'm curious why it's considered difficult compared to...
Well aware of where they both are. The story was reported from Kenya... Info about the crash location is right there in the first couple sentences of the article.
Way late to the game, but what specifically are you looking to find out about? What type of deployment is he going to be on? iPad in an otter box type case is way easier to tote around then a laptop. As long as he has wifi available he'll be able to use it to skype/face time where ever he goes...
For the P-3 pics, try contacting VP-8. They sent a plane up on a DFW to Brunswick the day it closed. I'm sure they will be more then happy to hang those pictures on the walls of the passageway in their new home in Jax.
Hate to be an OPSEC Nazi for those who do have any clue to the answers these questions but this is precisely the thing the rest of the world does NOT need to know...
PA44Jockey-as good as your intentions might be, someone reading this could put 2 and 2 together and kill individuals involved...
If you seriously think that the US is intentionally targeting innocent civilians with UAV attacks then you need to do some more homework and check your sources...
Since you think terrorist flying planes into buildings is unacceptable, and UAV attacks (and other actions) disrupt terrorists in...
You appear to have some background in aviation... was it acceptable when aircraft were hijacked and flown into the World Trade center? Would it have been acceptable if the shoe bomber, or the Nigerian were sucessful in blowing up the aircraft they were on in flight? Is it acceptable for things...
If pointy nose land is the same as VP, the VTs still won't be all that great for a career regardless which plane they are flying...
The best part of the Helo Master plan is that with the expansion of the HTs, a lot of spots opened up in the primary VTs... This is the first time in several years...
Each aircrafts NATOPS limitations are different. The P-3 NATOPS has warnings that autopilots should not be used below 200ft and has restrictions for use during approaches but does not place any restrictions on climb out. I don't have a copy of a C-12 NATOPS, but it is entirely possible that it's...
Update: After years of waiting, TRAWING 5 (Whiting Field) has recently received it's first T-6's for Primary flight training. VT-3 (the squadron that trains AF student pilots) is supposed to start transitioning from T-34s to T-6s this spring, with the other squadrons in the wing following over...
If I remember correctly, the squadron in question currently has a double FO front office... Not sure what its Front office/OPS layout ways but it is not (or wasnt until this event brought the issue to light publicly) uncommon for pilot proficiency to be sacrificed as the squadron chases...
His comment really hurt... as bad as the red stripe even. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to find some women of ill repute to wipe away the tears from my eyes with my per diem money.
Very interesting article. That explains why ditching drills are conducted at the altitude they are. I always wondered..
Like I said, I've seen both terms used (interchangebly) to describe the event in products put out by our community. The article in the news used spiral so I went with that.
I've heard both terms used to describe the event.
Looking at what is in the article, they use the term spiral.
Not being able to recover with rudder and aileron probably had something to do with Engines #3 and #4 being left at max power during their trip towards the water.
Its been a while since i read the report, but 7g's sounds high- IIRC it being more in the 5 range. The FE, on his own, did in fact restart the shutdown engine while in the high speed spiral- thats what saved the crew!
