    Is my CFII having me fly the ILS too fast?

    130 kts is only 3 kts slower than our max landing weight VREF of 133KTS in a G550 at 75,300lbs. I'd say that is unsafe and it would have to feel ridiculously uncomfortable with configuration changes wile slowing rapidly at 200 feet. I would like to bet he has 3hr in a Cessna CJ With a local...

    Speed question....

    If I switched controllers I would check in with the ATC assigned speed given and just maintain. Same controller, nope!!

    Pence plane Skids Off New York Runway

    I saw a Gulfstream at KTEB use it a few years ago. We were waiting for a ride out to our airplane when we saw the Gulfstream on approach. We were saying he better go around or get that thing on the ground. Touched down 1/2 way down. Full brakes full TR's left the runway doing around 50kts...

    Pilots, air traffic controllers shifting to text messaging

    Canada and Europe (not all of Europe) do a 50/50 mix. They text the freq over then you have to find it, hit Accept tune the freq then check in on voice. Kinda of a pain. May cut down on chatter but seems longer of a process to me. I do like PDC Departure clearances and CPDLC over the Atlantic...

    Where are the threads on "vacating" - mandatory or not?

    If we recive a PD and 5-10 or 15 minutes go by, as a courtesy to the controller I will call with N89xx leaving FL410. Just to make sure we are all on the same page. If the PD was close to when we wanted to start down anyway we don't. When we do, I'm really just looking out for the controller...

    Jepp Charts hard to read

    Airplane toy

    Have to say that is very cool. Do any of you remember a game I think it was called Bombs away. You looked through a bomb site and had a release The board would spin and you would have to judge when to drop. I loved it. Steel

    250 knot restriction dead?

    We always do our best to hit 250@10. The only time we bust it is when we get a late crossing restrictions below 100. Say 140 to cross XYZ @60 and your closer than normal. So its either bust the speed a bit or miss the ALT. ALT always wins. Steel

    3* Glideslope

    Airliner approach speed is twice if not a bit more than yours. Twice the speed = double the VS down to stay on G/S.
