    Retiring as a line pilot

    Have any of our board retirees retired as a line pilot having never held anything other than captain? No check airman, training captain, volunteer spots with the union, safety standings, or anything else, just plain and simple "captain"? If so, what else have you done with your life while off...

    You be the F/O (CFIT ?)

    I recently encountered this interesting interview question, so, what would you do? Scenario: You're on your first trip out of IOE around Puebla, Mexico (thare be hills here!). Your captain is very senior, been there, done that type. It's daylight, but hazy, about 5 miles visibility, can't see...

    Interview Question: What can you do for us?

    Ok, you're the next super-wonder pilot that can recognize a multiengine airplane two times out of three and may even have flown a multi a few times before. This puts you into interview mode with a bunch of different regional airlines for the assistant peon position of first officer. So what do...

    FO Check Airman

    What are the requirements for becoming a check airman at the current 'big four' (Xjet, Eagle, Skywest, AWAC)? How about moving into the training department, training captain, line instructor, sim instructor, etc.? Can an FO be a check airman? I know of one that was at TSA, he was previous part...

    121 PIC or SIC?

    For a CFI friend with 3000+ hours looking to change chairs before the music stops, which is better, 121 PIC or SIC? The catch is PIC turboprop (mighty Beech 1900) or SIC in a nice shiny jet. The goal is FedEx or Emery. He wants to instruct in something bigger I guess. . .and, he's not a...

    Which GPS?

    Which portable GPS units are y'all using for your driving, flying, boating, hiking, and generally living away from FI? I've just completed two non-aviation handheld GPS checklists (Garmin 76 & 60)and am scouring the market for the next few checklists to do.

    Type Designator/Osprey Questions

    Greetings, Does the type designator change for a fighter used solely in flight test research? IOW, will an F/A-18 always be an F/A, or will it change to R-18? This assumes there is some logic to the designation program. I was listening to a presentation on the Osprey program and got curious...

    Rumor or truth? Adam Berg, DPE at KVNY died December 4, 2006 of cancer (or just plain old age). True or not, my condolences to the families.

    More Flight Student Background Checks

    Greetings all, http://albany.bizjournals.com/albany/stories/2006/09/11/daily1.html First it was Michigan, then New Jersey, and now New York want ALL flight students to undergo their state's own special background checks. The law, freshly signed by the NY State Governor, is, as always...

    IFR Departure While Circling

    Greetings, This one from the "huh?" files: Setup: IFR non-precision approach into "D" airport in the mountains, break out at the MDA to see the runway, but not in a position to land. Start circling with tower approval. Ragged ceiling means a missed is very likely. As we're about to enter a...

    VFR Pilots following IFR approaches

    Greetings, Anyone have thoughts on VFR pilots following IFR approach procedures in visual conditions? This can be to towered or non-towered airports, making appropriate radio calls on the frequency, seeing & avoiding, and generally being on their best behavior. Thanks! Jedi Nein

    ATP Certificate for fun?

    Well, maybe not fun, but is there any major drawbacks to earning an ATP if you don't intend to grace the doors of an airline, especially 121 operations? Are ATP holders held to a higher standard than CFIs in FAA enforcement actions? Does Starbucks charge more for their coffee if they know you...

    Future of Flightinfo?

    While most of us are still reeling from the loss of Mark, I do wonder about the future of Flightinfo. Does the family need assistance with server space, programming, and so on to keep Flightinfo alive?

    Student Pilot Violates Solo Endorsement

    Greetings, What are the instructor's responsibilities and actions for when a student violates the limitations of the solo endorsement? This could be flying past the 90 days, finishing a solo cross country at night without the night endorsement, landing at an airport not listed in the...

    BBQ/Good Eatin' in DLH?

    Keeping in the spirit of the board, it's my turn to spend a week in Duluth. Any tips on a BBQ spot that knows how to do it right? How about fly-in spots for lunch in the area, say within 100 NM? Thanks! Jedi Nein

    709 or Surrender Cert?

    Greetings, I'm trying to become more familiar with the 709 process 1. If a pilot surrenders whatever certificate or rating in question, does that stop enforcement actions? 2. If a pilot successfully passes the 709 ride, does this stop the enforcement process, or is it just one stop in the...

    Any Frasca Sim Techs Around Here?

    Greetings, Anyone out there care to share tips, knowledge, and ideas on beating an old Frasca 142 Sim into submission? It's either the pitch trim motor or flat spots somewhere causing problems. Thanks! Jedi Nein
