    ATP Checkride

    Maybe you have a different FAR/AIM than the rest of us but it seems to me that 61.159(d) is more than self explanatory!!!

    CFI Check Ride

    I agree with the above post... I went into my CFI ride with 3 bags loaded with every manual, book, and advisory circular I could think of...Don't forget the PTS either, & after august 1st make sure they are the new ones!

    ATP Checkride

    Yup...Perfectly legal... I can't remember the exact reference offhand, but its located in part 61...You take the ride and there is a limitation put on your certificate. When you hit 1500 you get the limitation removed.

    TSA Security Nazis At Work

    Those stupid retards for TSA are even more pathetic than ITS or Argenbrite ever was!!!!! Especially at T-5 at ORD...But what do you expect when the federal government is running the operation? Not a single person at the checkpoint has an IQ higher than room temperature!!!

    For the CFII's....

    Always Identify & Leave it on as loud as you possibly can... A U.S. Military transport plane was shot down over the Soviet Airspace ( Cold war, years ago ) because it crossed into the russian's airspace...It was tracking an NDB it thought was located in Turkey and was trying to fly around the...

    Alternator vs. Generator

    Alternators are lighter and put out their rated power even at lower rpm's or power settings, but they need a little "juice" form the battery to work...The ration is negligent though, for sake of argument say an alternator can put out 60 amps, t would only require maybe 1/2 an amp to work...(This...

    Security hassles

    All you have to do is get to know some of the "rampers" or anyone else with access to the ramp of the airport. They can get you in and out with no problem, and they never search your bags or the cars that you ride in... How else do you think flight attendants somehow manage to obtain the...

    Bush rethinks opposition to armed pilots

    I say arm 'em... And after some asshole gets his head blown off on a flight, there will be a lot less people thinking about rushing the cockpit door!!!

    Lighters and matches on flights??

    The IATA manual for dangerous goods allows lighters and matches to be carried, but they have to be carried by the passenger and they have to be on that person during the whole flight...It can't be checked, and it can't be in a carry on either - That may influence why they still allow it on the...

    Israeli consul denied seat on U.S. flt.

    HERE'S THE QUOTE- "Hey Dep676 & Acestick, If the Captain refused to fly Hispanics, African Americans, or Catholics, would you still support him? The captain had no logical reasoning when he made this decision. It is much more than just hurting the feelings of a few foreigners. This is...

    Israeli consul denied seat on U.S. flt.

    2 things come to mind... 1.) CRM = Captain Runs Machine 2.) If the foreigners don't like it here, then they can get the f&*% out...Nobody's forcin' them to stay!!!

    Too good to be true?

    Lawyers fly desks and listen to stories that deal with flight attendants... Pilots walk past the desks to go fly the planes and tell the stories about flight attendants!!!

    Anti-gunners....chew on this

    We give the pilots access to the flight controls, and now we lock them in there so if they WANTED to bring down the plane they could, and nobody would stop them even if they tried. We also have crash axes in the cockpit, yet we still take away their nail files. People don't realize that their...

    high altitude sign off

    Just in case your looking to save some cash... Its all pretty similiar, O2 mask on, emergency descent to 10,000 or lower... But it can be done in a simulator for a lot cheaper than you would pay in a pressurized airplane...

    FAA, Shift to One Type of Instrument App

    Good point... What the hell are we all supposed to do??? Either buy 5 172's, or buy one fully qualified FMS system!!! Boy, the FAA is really working round the clock on this one!

    Banner Tow Pilots arrested as TERRORISM!

    If this had occurred prior to September 11th, nobody would have so much as given these planes a second look... It's just the blowback from everybody screaming homeland security and then going after the wrong people

    Large Category 2 Aircraft

    Never heard of category's in numbers... But I've heard of category A & category B aircraft - Those deal with transport rotorcraft certification...

    Fmc??

    Flight Management Computer... Basically, it does everything for you... You can enter routes and store them in it for future use, it is usually interfaced with the autothrottles and the autopilot to constantly make corrections during flight. What it does it it takes all the data from the POH...
