    CFI record keeping... (for CFI's)

    I keep a record of everything we did every flight with notes on anything good or bad. I made my own 8 1/2 X 11 two-sided record sheet. This sheet also includes any endorsements given. Keeps me organized and legal. I've never been to court as a CFI, but I'm ready.

    do you long XC pilots ever get used to it?

    Long cross country in a GA aircraft is limited to it's size/comfort and my bladder. My record XC is 16.6 hour flight (Mumbai, India to NYC), but four pilots (plus autopilots), restrooms, sleep bunks (7 hr nap), a couple meals = easy money! :D

    NDB approaches

    No published overlays, we just do them for a published non-prcesion approach. Not allowed to disable the GPS either (in my plane). Plus, those GPS/RNAV/RNAV RNP approaches are on the annual checkride.

    NDB approaches

    At work, we don't fly NDB approaches in the traditional way anymore. If we use them, it's with a GPS overlay approach with a constant descent to a DDA. (derived decision altitude; or DA +50'). While the old way was kinda fun, it was almost worthless as an approach. I called them "very...

    Pilot Watches

    Casio G Shock with world time (every time zone). $30ish. Got it while flying the 777. Too many time zones!

    Headset options

    I have over 15,000 hours and the one thing I learned about headsets is that you don't have to spend money. Buy a new Sigtronics S-20 for $144. They will work just fine. I have a pair too.

    New "Flight" movie with Denzel Washington

    I haven't seen it. As an airline pilot, I'm not in a hurry to see another drunk, womanizer pilot movie. I prefer "The Pilot" starring Cliff Robertson. I just had a lady thank us after the flight for not being drunk. I had to bite my tongue and not say anything. I really wanted to say...

    How often do you do it?

    Can't afford much anymore. Maybe 10 hours per year. Just got a raise, but I have about 8 more years of my kid's college to pay for. :mad2:

    Paxrep on United

    Because they would have to pay the pilots livable wages. It's cheaper to outsource.

    Paxrep on United

    You can thank the passenger bill of rights for this. Airlines can cancel for free or pay fines for delays. I guess passengers would rather not get there to avoid being late. Express flights will cancel first to keep the mainline aircraft on time(ish) during weather or other delays. For example...
