e- Meant to post this before, but congrats/good luck to those who just soloed or are about to. Little different with that extra room to your right, isn't it? I've flown glass a handful of times in a DA40. That stuff (plus an autopilot, really) is mindblowing compared to the six-pack. Meliv posted:How realistic is it to get into the pilot career path? I'm 23 and working an IT job which I find extremely unfulfilling and I've been looking at moving out of the industry. I've always had a healthy interest in planes since a young age but never really considered the options for being a pilot assuming that you're either flying fighter jets or commercial airlines, neither which options seemed interesting or attainable. ProFootballGuy is in a similar situation as you seem to be. Typical progression is Private, Instrument, Commercial (Private on steroids with new maneuvers), Multi, which will probably take 250-300 hours. Then it's CFI/CFII/MEI followed by building lots of time before you hit the FAA's magic number of 1500 hours to have a shot at an airline job. If you're near a community college with an aviation program, consider an Associate's in an aviation-related program, because they'll shave 250 hours off the required time. My suggestion would be take a discovery flight or two and see what you think. If you get your PPL, it can be a hobby at worst. In terms of schools, don't be afraid to ask around/read reviews online as to the quality of instructors, program, and airplanes. There's no sense in pouring lots of money into a program where they have two 172s and the DME readout on one is unreadable. (Or, in a more extreme case, the radio stack falls out of the panel on takeoff, as happened to a friend.) CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Sep 26, 2013 |

Rickety Cricket posted:Here's a summary http://www.stopthewhipsaw.com/PSA_TA.html So, if I'm reading this right, PSA can now fly CRJ-900s/E175s, but at the same/similar pay rate as to what their pilots are flying the CRJ and handful of CR7s they have now? US/AA's way of doing what DL is with their RJs in shuffling the deck to park the 50-seaters in favor of 90-seaters? Curious about this as an outsider because, had I gone the flying route (which is highly unlikely at this point), PSA was going to be a target of mine.

One of my former instructors and her husband live on a piece of land in the country converted into a grass strip, complete with gun range and off-road buggy (they call them go-karts) track made from plowing down some of the tall grass. The house sits next door to a hangar designed to resemble those found in WWII, which stores their vintage plane and has a maintenance shop on the first floor and bar/aviation geek heaven mancave upstairs. They have an annual fly-in for the husband's birthday which, when I went last year, didn't involve any sort of flying contest, but the guy flying the RC plane and dogfighting with a crow more than made up for it. More people should experience a battery-operated airplane taking on ACM with a bird.

The government wants the FAA to allow people to use electronic devices at all phases of flight, with Claire McCaskill threatening legislation to make it happen if the FAA doesn't do it themselves. They're aware of incidents where devices have caused interference, but write them off as "just anecdotes". I would ask if the government is moronic enough to ignore NASA forms talking about HSIs getting screwy at 9,000, only to fix themselves once somebody turned off their toy...but then again, this is the government that set in the 1,500 hour law and just screwed 800,000 employees in a party line pissing match over the budget, so I wouldn't put it past some congressman/woman who got butthurt over having to stop playing Angry Birds to do so.

The DA40 sucks if you're short. I'm 5'4" and had to have a cushion made to push me far enough forward to where I could fly the plane comfortably. And do you know how hard it is to find such a cushion?  Fortunately, there was a guy at a medical supply store in my town who offered up a free, extra piece of spongy cushion, which I had a cheap cover put on and away I went. KodiakRS posted:Coincidentally 24 hours later on the exact same arrival about 10NM earlier we almost had another loss of separation with traffic that was hanging out in an arrival corridor just outside class B without talking to ATC. Which brings up a point: Just because you CAN be somewhere without talking to anyone doesn't mean you shouldn't be talking to them anyway. Which is why I'm always on with approach while doing cross-country flying, even through Class E. Reassuring to have another set of eyes in case I miss something which could result in something stupid happening, even if the only time I hear from them is on a handoff.

I've seen other people volunteer themselves as the advice guy for different aspects of aviation in this thread, so if anybody wants to know about getting an aviation degree online, ask away. I've been doing ERAU-Worldwide for a few years now (Bachelor's, Masters) and love it. If you've ever wanted to grill a steak and eat it complete with your choice of beverage while attending class, it may be up your alley.DNova posted:What? I've never flown a Diamond anything but I'm short enough that I need a cushion at my back to get full rudder authority without sliding down the seat in a Cessna 172. I just use a thick padded chair cushion I stole from my own kitchen. It was probably like $5 at Target or whatever. I've done most of my recent flying in a 172SP and have to borrow the cushion which hangs in the instructor room and is up for grabs to go build time. That one doubles as a flotation device, complete with the "put your arms through the straps and hug the cushion to your chest" feature. In the case of the Diamond, which was at another FBO, I needed something thicker than the aforementioned one and wanted something I could just leave in the car. Mine ended up at least 3-4" thick. I never thought to pillage my own kitchen. e- I probably should explain that I needed something that would not only push me toward the panel and pedals, but also forward up the perma-reclined seat.

The Slaughter posted:Key complaint: Most of the tests don't actually show you what you got wrong, just a %. (and at times, it's because of an error in the grading thing, or you put "2.0 feet" when the answer should have been "2.0 ft", and it's hard to check that stuff when you can't see it). Also, if your teacher grades you massively unfairly on something, they refuse to do anything about it. And right now I've had 3 group projects with 2 worthless students although that's not mutually exclusive to ERAU in any way. That's interesting. All of my tests have been either on Blackboard (Multiple choice questions are either graded immediately or graded and returned, with the correct answer shown, essays may or may not get feedback) or a take-home Word file (slightly longer wait to hear back, but usually corrected). There have been a couple instances where there was something goofy in the test, whether it was an error in the question, no correct answer option provided, or a question which was scored as wrong but, in fact, the right answer. Typically, if somebody addressed it, they either threw it out or gave everybody credit for it. Group projects are terrible. We had three or four people in a group for a blog, two of which proceeding to just stop showing up for class for some reason.

Did I hear on the radio today that there's a push for better stall training in the wake of Colgan 3407? Because, you know...that would've made more sense as an initial response than dipshits like Chuck Schumer saying "LET'S MAKE EVERYBODY HAVE 1,500 HOURS AND IT'LL ALL BE BETTER".  And that footage. The one Cessna spinning straight downward literally looks like a CGI animation from a movie, and I keep having to tell myself "No, that's an airplane".  QuiteEasilyDone posted:Pilot appeared to have been distracted by jump ops, leading to a roll and slight dive crossing down to the right into that natural blindspot below and to the right of the aircraft. Demonstrating poor operational awareness I don't know whether I'd have any inklings of "Now that I know we all made it, I'm killing the gently caress out of you anyway" or if by that point I'd just be thrilled to be alive.

Basic understanding of pilotage/dead reckoning (knowing what the chart means/situational awareness) and how to work the radio would be useful. If you're talking about things to know in the event of an emergency, I'd add in a basic understanding of how to fly the plane, which could amount to "the yoke turns us and makes us go up and down, pedals are NOT the throttle and brake, and engine power is controlled by the black knob sticking out of the firewall".

fordan posted:FAA wants a mandatory sleep apnea test if you're fat. quote:“This policy seems to be based on one incident involving an airline flight. In that case, the crew fell asleep and missed their destination but woke up and landed safely,” said Rob Hackman, AOPA vice president of regulatory affairs. No, buddy, that's not it. Everybody affected, say "THANKS COLGAN!" (I had to have a sleep apnea test in January because I had constant daytime drowsiness that had gotten intolerable. My AME heard this was coming and said it was a witchhunt because, even though they can never prove it, the NTSB/FAA assume the captain in Colgan 3407 had sleep apnea. Because he was fat.) Though really, don't mess around with sleep apnea. It's scary. If anybody's going to have a sleep apnea test done, I can answer questions, because I've had two.

eriktown posted:Confirming you shouldn't mess around with sleep apnea, and frankly I can see the FAA's point in this one. I once rear-ended someone (thankfully at low speed) because I nodded off at the wheel due to severe untreated sleep apnea. I basically had narcolepsy for a couple of years until I finally got health insurance that covered a sleep study and CPAP machine. My AME said you have to do something about it (surgery to correct and/or get a mouthpiece/CPAP) AND get checked out by a certified sleep specialist annually. The specialist signs off if you've been using your device, which allows you to keep your medical. Rolo posted:I'm not a risk for it, but that piqued my interest in it. Why no long pants? Blood flow restriction? No, it's more of a comfort thing. There are four contacts attached to your legs (4 of literally 20 more) for the overnight portion of the study, two on each leg. If you wear long pants to bed (I wore sweatpants my first time), the contacts drag on your pant legs every time you move. It was an added pain in the rear end when it was already hard enough to sleep as it was. Wore shorts the next time and it was all good. Guys might want to consider shaving/trimming their legs before they go, because the contacts come off in the morning, and having those things yanked is not the most fun way to start your day.

e- Another thing about Sleep Apnea is that you may not know you have it until it's too late. A 36-year old friend in Florida who was in fairly good shape went to bed one night in their guest bedroom to allow his wife to get a better night's sleep (they had 8-month old twins). She woke up the next morning after sleeping in surprised to see his suit and tie for work still hanging up. When she went to ask him why the hell he hadn't gone to work... They took him off life support four days later. e.pie posted:I'm always amazed by how tiring doing nothing is. Even when I did/do (it's gotten better, but not much) stuff that was active, but not involving being at the controls of a vehicle, I'd get tired. I've been involved in a family-run real estate business since I was a senior in high school.

In my experience, Row44 based systems like Southwest's also seems faster than GoGo usually, although that's purely anecdotal. How does their Directv work?

I forgot to close my flight plan after my solo XC. I'd gone back to get lunch before taking a second lesson that day, drove up to our hangar, and saw smoke from a fire in the distance. The lightbulb came on, and I tore rear end into the FBO as fast as my legs would carry me. I got the "We were just about to send out S&R" line. The last couple VFR XCs I did involved closing flight plans with the FSS on their frequency just before landing. Once radar service was terminated, I switched to FSS long enough to tell them I was closing it before hopping on CTAF. Animal posted:Can you post more details about the crash? Was it Ameriflight?

2013- Diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. Had tonsillectomy to correct it (that's a great way to shed 10 pounds, too), and it worked. Despite that, and after having a heart-to-heart with my favorite CFI (who I knew would tell it like it was and, to my amazement, said "To be honest, I don't blame you" to rethinking a commercial flying career), hung up the headset. It's a disappointing relief and few people know, but it was time and I can live with it. So, I decided to make flying a hobby instead of something I'll pursue as a career. I just have to get to the point where I can enjoy flying for fun again.  (I do have a two-year old cousin who has been talking about planes since he could talk and whose mom has made an association in him between myself and flying. I hope to take him up when he gets a bit older.  )On the other side of the coin, I knocked out three Master's classes and started on my Capstone, and I'm still having too much fun doing papers on aviation geekery. I deliberately sandbagged a couple terms so I could register with a professor who is loving awesome, is willing to give two middle fingers to the school's establishment when needed, and is making life amazingly easy in writing this beast. Took that class with another student who works for an major aviation company in the region in their ops department who's willing to help me look for a job with them and recommend me.

It was emphasized, much like if you watched Rocko's Modern Life and saw the driving school episode with "Don't get the fat guy!", that you don't ever even loving think of busting Wright-Patterson's airspace ever. You could get away with it if you were on with Dayton Approach (if coming from the South, ask for touch and gos on or an ILS to 24L at DAY for a great view of the USAF Museum and the WPAFB flight line), but there are some areas off to the East of the Dayton Metro where you could be in Class E and bust WPAFB's Delta errantly.

Some EAS markets are in danger of losing EAS status because flights are being cancelled. Because they can't find pilots to fly there. Because of the ATP Law and the fact that, when pilots hit the magic number and have the choice of a CRJ, ERJ, or Beech 1900... quote:The airlines serving small markets in Nebraska and Iowa have had a hard time finding enough pilots since new rules took effect last year, so numerous flights have been canceled. http://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2014/01/13/new-rules-make-it-hard-to-find-small-market-pilots/4450437/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKdcjJoXeEY

Seeing a lot of talk on Facebook from friends at Eagle that the feeling at the MIA, ORD, NYC, and DFW bases is they'll be voting down the new agreement whenever a vote comes up. One of them says he's done if it passes because he can't afford another pay cut. When would they be looking at a vote?

On anti-anxiety/depressants, 10mg once daily. How much would this screw with my chances of making the ATC cut? Also, any gauge on typical desirability for facilities in Ohio? I've got some family business interests in Eastern OH, so if I decided to go the ATC route and could get Columbus or Dayton, I'd have it made.
