Desi posted:So, for the OP, "Desi - CYOW/CYQT, ATPL, FI, FII, MEI, Mitsubishi MU2" Have a great buddy whose dad owned an MU2. He always tells me how awesome an airplane it is and how much he likes it. Years later he told me it was the MU2 that killed his dad. Something about the how the engine pulled itself to idle, on an approach, because of a faulty ITT sensor. Even with all of his experience it dragged him into the ground.

Once a quiet neighborhood next to the airport this whole time and his site is now 7 years old so it hasn't been quiet for awhile.

I find a certain hilarity in these disjointed, repetitive, Timecube-like websites. But you can't expect people not to get pissed off about the noise, if they're not fans of the activity. And if it drives potential noise complainers away from moving into to the new development, then that's a good thing for everybody.

There is a guy near MCAS New River that calls the base operations every night to complain. I know this because the tenet squadrons have a rotating duty in base operations during night flights. This idiot built his house at the end of a runway of one of the most used helicopter out lying fields (old WW2 style A frame with a bunch of fields for CALs). If you spent ten minutes near where he lives at any time of day you'd be over flown by some kind of helicopter. Now that being said a four-ship of MV-22s at 150 feet over your house at midnight, every night would either drive you insane or collapse your house eventually.

The first word which caught my attention glancing over that page is "incompetant". Why doesn't this guy bitch about the threat of removing cars from the beaches in Volusia County? Also: quote:To All You Gay Epic/ERIK Flyers I bet they are having a gay time flying airplanes. As a straight male, I had gay times flying airplanes from time to time. Touch and goes are fun as hell, especially with a little bit of a crosswind, but not to the point where "I ran out of rudder" is an uttered phrase. I'm looking for a fun female who wants to have gay times with me in an airplane.  quote:Q: What do you see when an Epic/ERIK flight instructor bends over? God drat.  I've probably told this story before, but our training partner had some NIMBY complaints a few years ago about airport operations for an airport which opened in the 1940s. They shut the hell up when the airport director (and maybe the FBO owner, can't remember) said "You REALLY want to get the lawyers involved?"

I used to live right at the 27 approach end of KSAN and then right next to MCAS Miramar. Talk about jet noise (living next to KSAN was cool though, I could grab my scanner, go out on the balcony and watch the planes land from my 12th story apartment). I think most people get used to it after a while. I got to the point where I could sleep with all the windows open well into jet operation times and outside of noise abatement procedures. These people have literally nothing better to do with their time and just want something to complain about.

I wrote this about my experience at CAE. Since it's all FAA approved curriculum material, it's bound to be similar anywhere else you go for it. It's 4 days of classroom and 3 sim sessions. The sims are introduction/familiarization, nothing is checked and it is literally impossible to fail. There is a short and easy written at the end of the classroom section, corrected to 100%. (There has been some confusion in at least 1 guy's 135 clueless employer thinking this is the ATP written, which it is most certainly not!) Everything is presented as an introduction to general airline/jet concepts for someone coming out of Cessnas and Seminoles. Absolutely no preparation is needed, and I would recommend to anyone to put 100% of their study time into ATP written prep (such as Sheppard, ASA, etc.) which is actually long and hard. The classroom work is not prep for the ATP written, other than some naturally occurring coincidences given the subject matter. To be clear, it's the "ATP-CTP" course, and at the end you get a certificate which is a prerequisite to take the ATP written. Yes, the written is scheduled and done completely on your own. CAE can recommend a few testing centers nearby, but has no relationship with them and easier for most people to do it where you live. vessbot fucked around with this message at 04:53 on May 28, 2017 |

I've taken the ATP written and passed it easily, it's just since expired. If that's the hardest part It sounds like I'm golden, considering I interned at flight safety and have like a thousand hours in a sim.

It's a whooole lot easier to ignore noise complaints now that somebody did some basic data analysis and showed that, as an example, 80% of all the complaints to Reagan National were from the same loving guy calling 19x every day.

Alaska announced they're starting service out of Paine Field in 2018, and one of the first comments when the story was posted on their internal website was from an Alaska flight attendant complaining about the increased noise over her house. WTF?

Ain't gonna lie, if I won the lottery, I'd go to the states, get a PPL, get a plane (preferably the noisiest I could manage) and fly a big rear end banner from the back of it saying "eat poo poo NIMBYs" until they had to bring me down with AA fire.

Typical FAA that this is part of their "fix" for the Buffalo crash. What a joke... I'm so glad I had a grandfathered ATP written and beat the deadline. In other news, I missed upgrade by 3 numbers today. Three. Went to a 5/21 hire and I'm 6/4. Damnit. But, supposedly we're upgrading 16 a month now, sooo.... hopefully won't be too much longer to wait if the music continues.

Denver is the same way, something like 99% of the noise complaints are 2 or 3 people, a majority of which are one dude that calls like 10-15 times a day.

Who the hell is complaining about Denver? The airport was built waaaay out in the middle on nowhere on purpose. Partially to avoid noise complaints.AWSEFT posted:Have a great buddy whose dad owned an MU2. He always tells me how awesome an airplane it is and how much he likes it. Years later he told me it was the MU2 that killed his dad. The MU2 really is the motorcycle of the aviation world isn't it? The people who fly them insist they're great planes and not at all dangerous if you know what you're doing but the accident statistics tell an entirely different story.

Bonus points if you get something like a Harvard that at max rpm can break the sound barrier with the prop tips and become really incredibly loud, like louder than anything with pistons has the right to be.

These people have literally nothing better to do with their time and just want something to complain about. We vacationed in Puerto Rico when I was a kid and stayed across the street from roughly the 1000-footers on Runway 8 at SJU. We were typically awakened by the howl of a Fine Air DC-8 setting takeoff power and/or the PRANG F-16s taking off in the morning. You'd get a little bit of everything there, from DC-3s to 747s and Convair 440s to L-1011s and DC-10s. Saw my first 777 there, too. We had a balcony which allowed us to see the Eagle ATR ramp and a couple of the AA jet gates, as well as part of the runway. What was really fun was when we discovered the fire escape, which allowed us a better view from the roof of the building. I only saw reverse ops a handful of times but seeing a DL 767-300 pop up from behind the trees for the first time was very  .SJU also had the Aeroparque, which was a hangout on the airport property inside Runway 8. The place had a playground for kids and some picnic tables outside and an observation deck and bar on the second floor. Place would be packed on Sundays. Puerto Ricans seemed to love their airplanes.

I've joked to friends and co-workers that what we need are a handful of people who phone up the airport a thousand times a year to complain that the airplanes aren't loud enough.

Oh hey, new thread. Long time lurker, figured I should add my name to the list. Foghorn - KGTU ASEL PPL IR Question: how bad is it getting a ferry permit? I have a PA28-180 whose annual is about to expire and I can't get it to my preferred mechanic (30 minute flight south) before the end of the month. Should I get the ferry permit? Or try a local mechanic instead? I suppose having a local guy is better, but my old mechanic already knows the plane inside and out, rebuilt some of it, and has very easy payment terms. Also, I realize I should have figured this out ahead of time, but life happened.

So I'm doing an engine overhaul on my Cherokee 180. I've got a lycoming 360. Ask me any questions. I am so tempted to also install dual Garmin g5s (AI and HSI) and a 430w and be ads-b compliant (fan USA thing). However, I am also really tempted to just sell it all (after overhaul) and buy my dream airplane, an S or V35 Bonanza.....

We just did this exercise on our club Cherokee 180, and we ended up deciding against the no-longer-in-sale GPS platform. You should do yourself a favor and price out a GTN650, it's amazing how close even a used 430w is in price. (In that the 430w is still worth huge money, almost the retail price of the brand new 650) The price delta between the two for our club plane was about 2k. Also, if you're going to do this, do it NOW. Or at least get in line now. All the shops in northern California are booked out to September right now for this kind of work. The deadline to claim the ADS-B rebate is also September, +90 days to get the work done. Edit: We skipped the G5, but that was just because ~money~, otherwise we would have gone that way too.

Question about airports with pilot-controlled lighting: is there a chance that some airports disable these systems after a certain time of night? On two consecutive flights, at two different airports, I've had trouble activating them. Last night, I know the system was working, because the lights were on as I was approaching the airport, and then turned off, evidently permanently, as I was inspecting the windsock. On both of those flights, when I've returned to my home airport (which uses the exact same type of system once the control tower is closed) the system worked exactly as expected, multiple times (I tested the dimming system, just to make sure I wasn't getting lucky for some reason). It wasn't a distance thing either, because I was literally over the airport's beacon and I could see the runway. It's strange, because I don't think I did anything wrong, I tried multiple times, yet I'm still at a loss as to why two separate airports would give me the same issue on two different days. The only thing I can think of is that it was quite late in both cases (night begins at 10:30PM here right now, so these would've both been after 11PM). I've done night landings at both airports in the past, during the winter when night started much earlier. Is there any other thing I could be overlooking?
