    There is also a significant swath of the population that didn't/doesn't realize they can actually become a pilot. Those are the people that these programs are trying to reach.

    Boeing cargo plane makes emergency 'belly' landing

    I want to know why the pilots went out the window vs the main door. Both seemed to be about the same height above the ground, and the door would be way less awkward. Or wait 5 min for the firefighters to put a ladder up to the door.

    Do airlines or employers care what kind of logbook I have?

    I had about the same percentage of error on mine. I tried to find the issue(s) but never did. Nothing was mentioned in my interview, so I guess it wasn't a big deal.

    Can you think of a better way to present them at an interview?

    Do airlines or employers care what kind of logbook I have?

    As long as it can be printed and presented in an acceptable manner, plus is a standard format, it should be fine.

    The missing light - and now you know the rest of the story

    "Jerry Wagner" has replaced the "Leroy Jenkins" nomenclature in my vocabulary.

    Sure, no prob. It's called marketing towards a demographic to increase their customer base. Anyway, I'm not going to change your mind about this, so I will defer to the same answer I give my wife we are at an impasse, and that is "yes dear".

    You do realize that Aviate is a flight school, right? Like, a money making proposition? And trying to increase your customer base is good for business?

    I see. So trying to attract more people to start flying that are in underrepresented demographics is bad?

    How do you determine who is the most qualified to be a capable pilot when someone has zero flying experience?

    The missing light - and now you know the rest of the story

    I think that was established when he tried to run over a cop car in his DC-3.

    WTF, over? (Video of a bad landing and go around)

    I had the same thought.

    Challenger Jet down in Truckee CA 7/26/21

    From what I understand, the person in the left seat was employed by the owner of the aircraft and was new to the airplane, the person in the right seat was an experienced contractor with a lot of experience in the airplane.

    Any rules against what you put as your flight ID?

    I know of a corporate flight department that started using a call sign without any permissions. They got a nastygram from the FSDO within a few weeks.

    What's up? (or down)?

    Funny, two different threads about this yet nary a peep from management

    How does a GTN and GNS combination work?

    Yes, if you program an airway into the GTN, the route and waypoints will crossfill into the GNS. The one thing I found the GNS cannot handle is if you load a visual approach into the GTN. Not a big deal.
