Thanks for the good information. I to am a runner. I’m in my late 40’s. The ECG basically said “consider acute stemi”, and “elevated ST segment”, and some other things. So basically said I was having a heart attack. Weird thing, it looks exactly like my last one that came back normal. The...

I had my medical exam early this month and my ECG came back abnormal with multiple messages. My AME told me it was ok, and when compared to my one from last year which was normal, looked almost identical. I’m a skinny guy, and he said it often will be overly sensitive due to a thin chest wall...

Update, the Eastern and AA eagle bolt are sold.

Yes sir, as long as I can use a printable image if you can provide that. Send me a PM of the image and I’ll see what I can do.

Hello all. I make these airline plaques with vintage airline logos. Hand carved with a router and hand painted with enamel paint. The dark wood is Peruvian walnut, AA is zebra wood, NW/ other AA are Oak. All measure about 10-12” long and approx 8” high, and about 3/4” thick (solid). They are...

Ok thanks. I did a little more research and have a general idea of what’s involved. Apparently I need to brush up on math related topics, and other than that, it’s just hand eye coordination type exercises. Probably not worth it to pay for the test prep.

Can anyone tell me about the Compass test at K4? Is there any prep software that is similar to what they use that you’d recommend?

If you missed crossing an intersection at an assigned altitude by 800 feet (realized late to descend), and the controller didn’t say anything, could it still be a problem? We didn’t get called out for a deviation or anything at the time, nor did the controller even mention it. I was curious...

Ok, that is along the lines of what I was thinking. Yes, our aircraft transition automatically at 31,600 as well. Though pretty much nobody I fly with slows down until reaching the first “hard” speed restriction at PHAYE. I’ve never had a controller say anything when slowing to 270 only...

There seems to be a lot of confusion on what needs to be done to comply with this speed restriction for STARs coming into CLT. Word is, ATC is violating pilots for keeping their speed up until reaching the first fix speed restriction, in this case, PHAYE at 270. Maybe someone can shed light on...

I made the jump from LE to airlines. It was a no brainer for me, as I was burned out in LE. But I did stay in and paid as I went until I had my CFI. Then I took a full time job flight instructing until I had my hours. If there’s an aviation unit, and you still have a passion for LE, I would...

We had just taken off out of Milwaukee.

We were flying south, with a cell to the east that was definitely a no-no, and we were cleared to an intersection that would bring us to the south east into stuff that appeared attached to the stronger cell. Long story short, we were looking at tops in 250 range, as opposed to the one in the...

When asking for weather deviations, have any of you ever had a controller simply state “unable”? We thought about responding “unable” back to him when he directed us towards some uncomfortable Wx. We got our heads rocked flying through the particular Wx, though we knew it was not a situation...

We don’t have code words to indicate direction on evacuation. And this scenario is at the point when all previous checklists are complete, just evacuation.

Let’s say you have a left engine fire indication on the takeoff roll and you reject the takeoff. You don’t know at this point whether it is a true fire. As a precaution, you decide to initiate evacuation. Would you first call the FA’s on intercom to give instructions to evacuate and not to...

I wanted to add that it’ll be a marathon, not a sprint. It took me almost 10 years to get to the airlines. But I was having to juggle a full time job and a family. If money is no object, you can do it much quicker, but if you’re like most people, you will need to pace yourself as time and...

If you have the WSI weather app, the Vertical Profile forecast works pretty well on predicting best altitudes to use for segments on flight. I’ve found it to be pretty accurate. And yes, I agree, there’s been some rough air this winter.

I think I know the answer to this question but I wanted to make sure. The way I understand it, the RA is located in the Center belly region under the fuselage and is calibrated to measure zero based off the height of the landing gear. So, when I hear “10”, that indicates the gear are 10 feet...

I don’t know which airline you work for, but we had to have a first class medical upon arrival to class. As an FO we are permitted to fly under 2nd class, but I assume they wanted to make sure we were capable of holding a first class medical before starting school. I would check with your HR...

Pasta salad is easy and you can throw all sorts of veggies in to make it healthy.

Anyone else have stomach issues when on the road? It seems like the first few days of a trip I either feel nauseous when I wake up or things aren’t right “down below” (if you get my drift). It seems to settle as I near the last few days of the trip. So I don’t know if it’s just nerves or if I...

Got to pay your FCC $75 tax.

If someone wants to make an offer on this, let me know. I’ll be throwing it on eBay in a few days if not.

I forgot to add, free shipping.

Asking 180.00, I’ve owned since new, about 7 years old. Ear seals still in good condition, but could use a cleaning. Everything is in good working condition. Thanks.

I’ve heard of these dispatchers who actually give updates on WX via ACARS, but I’m yet to actually have one send us an update! It sure would be nice. They are overworked though, I know. I flew with an ex Comair Captain the other day who said the dispatchers at Comair would give regular...

I assumed there was probably the issue with some liability on the part of the contoller. Usually, if I have concerns I will query the controller about the situation and ask if they agree with a heading that will deviate safely. I guess I will continue this strategy. Thanks for the insight.

Why is it that some controllers seem to be eager to assist with decision making in regards to thunderstorm avoidance while others brush it off like “its your problem, you deal with it”? It’s always refreshing when you’re coming into the terminal environment and you’re painting crap all over the...

Looks like one of the probes didn’t make contact with his skin which would prevent muscular incapacitation. The rest of the uses of the taser were “drive stuns” which don’t cause incapacity but is for pain compliance only. Anybody who is really pissed off won’t even feel it usually.

Here's a copy of the original: § 23.149 Minimum control speed. (a) VMC is the calibrated airspeed at which, when the critical engine is suddenly made inoperative, it is possible to maintain control of the airplane with that engine still inoperative, and thereafter maintain straight flight at...

Does anyone have any insider knowledge of what the FAA is doing with part 23? 23.149 (Minimum Control Airspeed) has disappeared. When it comes to explaining to students the parameters that manufacturer's use to determine Vmc, I'm not sure what section to refer to. In 23.2135 it now just...

Thank you for the info. The way I understand it, you pick your top 2 choices of bases and you will get awarded one of them. So if I lived in the Greenville SC area I could technically pick CLT and TYS and still be able to drive either. Is this a realistic expectation and what are your...

Could you guys please clear up something for me? I'm looking at PSA, I'm 40 years old, with a wife and a 6 year old. They only way I'm going to make a jump to the airlines is if I can avoid commuting. I really need to get my family down to where her parents live so that she has some sort of...

Thanks for the replies. The phraseology that was used was not exactly standard for the initial taxi instruction, and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Sounds like we did everything correctly, but I would rather ask for clarification then do something and get slapped for it...

I was a little confused about something from the other day when flying into CLT. (In a C172, so I'm not sure if this affected anything). When I called for taxi from Wilson Air, I was advised "Taxiway Delta, advise when holding short number one". I took this as taxi to and hold short of runway...

At what point in time of the landing can you guys still make the decision to go-around? Is it possible to touchdown, but realize you've got too much speed or landed too long, and get back off no problem? I'm obviously thinking in terms of a C172, but I was just curious what the typical...

I sent them a message, and they said that you basically had to be able to make a 2 hour callout, and that they weren't necessarily going to be taking a ruler to anything.

Does anybody know if the residential distance is straight line, or by roadways?
