    Questions if you are bored

    As a followup to the slipping entry to spin posted above, this is what I was able to deduce. In a slipping entry, the high wing will have the aileron down increasing it's angle of attack, thereby aggravating the stall. Similarly, the rudder use in a slip will cause the airplane to yaw into the...

    Instruction in Rental

    You need to be up front with the folks you are renting the plane from. FBO insurance often covers instruction only with the FBO's instructors. That said, there's no harm in asking around. So drop by the place with the airplanes for rental and ask them if it would be ok. Heck, you could wind...

    How to get a regional job?

    I just received this e-mail. What do you think? Anyone know which "Regional Partner" they're talking about? Will I be left behind and putting my career on hold if I don't seize the opportunity they're talking about? Don't be left behind. One of our Regional Partners is looking to hire First...

    47 Grads of Gulfstream hired by Pinnacle

    Gulfstream.. wow. I just looked and found out if I pay $24k, together with my current 1400 hours and ratings, I could finally be flying right seat in a 1900 :) Do they offer discounts? Like maybe if I could just fly for free or something...

    47 Grads of Gulfstream hired by Pinnacle

    Re: Bobby Uh oh. First you're debating with Bobby about PFT and now you're saying regionals prefer hiring younger inexperienced impressionable pilots. You might want to read some of his other posts first.. muaahaah

    Frustrated

    You can certainly be a professional pilot without the four-year degree. I know people who don't have the degree and are flying for a living. Heck, Richard Bach (author) doesn't have a college degree. There are plenty of flying jobs out there for folks without a degree. However, if your goal...

    An overview of corp. pilot requirements

    If you're going into aviation for the money, then you're going into it for the wrong reason. You'd be better off as an Engineer. I left engineering despite the high pay, because I love flying. I would rather spend my time in the sky than waste another second in an office staring at a computer...

    Calming down the nerves?

    <snip...> And maybe other little things that pile on a little pressure like what if there's a plane just a little bit ahead of you on the circuit and how do you space? What I hope when I solo is that the airport won't be busy. The busier, the harder because when its busier, you have to not only...

    Low TT with Turbine time?

    Keep in mind Keep in mind that last year, many regionals were hiring folks with 700tt to put right seat in 1900's. Obviously this isn't necessarily the case today. Once again, it's more important who knows you. For example, I know a guy who got hired 4 months ago at 250tt to fly right seat...

    Flaps and Vmc

    Vmc vs Vmca Folks here are using Vmc and Vmca as if they are synonomous. In my understanding, these are radically different terms. Vmc = Lowest airspeed at which you can maintain directional control with the critical engine inoperative. Multiengine only. Vmca = Minimum controllable...

    Changing Careers

    I'd suggest getting your instructor tickets, then start teaching part-time in the evening and weekends. Keep your full-time job to pay the bills. You will be able to support yourself while building flight time. In my opinion, instructing is a very valuable experience. This isn't easy, but is...

    which plane to learn in?

    Stephen, Good questions and I have a really simple answer here. Find a good instructor. By "good" I mean one that you are comfortable with and teaches in a way that makes sense to you. You want an instructor who is on your side, because there are going to be some great and challenging times...

    2 jump pilot jobs available

    "Jumpers are trusting their life to you and feel more comfortable with higher time pilots for obvious reasons." Heh, that must be why they are ALL wearing PARACHUTES! ;)

    now what?

    OK, so here I am instructing and building time at 800/80, planning on sending my resume in as soon as I hit 1000. What are my chances of getting interviewed in 3 months? Is there anything I can do to tip the odds in my favor? I'd love to work for Skywest.
