    Best career choice in the long run

    One thing you might also consider, if you want to be home every night, is an Aircraft Dispatcher. As a dispatcher at an FAR 121 air carrier, you share operational control with the captain of the flight, you create the flight plan (fuel, route, alternates, etc), and once they are airborne, you...

    Defend your ticket

    F-15s have AFMs now? When I wore a uniform, they had the Dash One, the Dash One Checklist, the Dash 34 (weapons manual); the Navy and Marine Corps aircraft have NATOPS manuals, but I never saw an AFM in the Pubs shop...

    OSH 2014 -- Who's In?

    Yeah, he was just up here. He owns a Cirrus in Oz, and is going halfsies on a sweet Baron down in Oz. I head down there in November, and I'll be doing a little Cirrus flying down there too, plus some time in a B744 sim as well :)

    ACARS a no-go item?

    Sort of, for now. However, over the North Atlantic tracks, CPDLC, ADS-B, FANS (and thus ACARS) will be required to fly on a NAT Track next year as a part of a reduced lateral separation trial that starts next Feb. After the trial, full FANS equipment (and thus ACARS) will be required to...

    ACARS a no-go item?

    At most US carriers, we can leave overseas without acars to come back home, but we may not leave the US without it.

    Operating within a NOTAM

    If you dont know what the DEN is - you probably arent eligible. It was the open party line setup between the FAA, the Airlines, and NORAD, and 91K type operators after 9.11.01. Its somewhat secret squirrel in that only certain people at any given airline can be on the DEN. If you are NBAA...

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    True, but my wife's family is kinda far flung, and I wanna be able to fly us (plus our daughter) when we go see them. An LSA doesnt really help. I suppose I could fly me and my daughter (6 y/o) in the LSA aircraft, and my wife go commercial or drive, but whats the fun in that... On second...

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    Back in Dec 2002 I started flying at a school at CHD, when I dispatched for a large PHX-based airline. Took the PP Written and passed it. At the time I wanted to pursue flying professionally, took the Medical and discovered a Class I or II is beyond my reach. Can hold an SI Class III, but thats...
