    Aerobatics in a Warrior

    What surprises me is that people seem to underestimate how dangerous / strong the aerodynamic loads can be when you exceed the flight envelope... this isn’t the equivalent of student pilot rough landings... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Commercial Pilot Career?

    With all due respect to everyone here, asking any private pilot about airline careers could be worse than nothing! I’m sure this group is a mix of pros and non. This isn’t a flying question this is an industry and career question. And being a pilot doesn’t teach you much about the industry...

    Commercial Pilot Career?

    The biggest issue is if he hasn’t explored all the ways to get both his ratings and degree. No aviation degree is required so he could go to Harvard or the local community college. For the best pilot jobs a bachelors is generally all but required in the US... but below the majors less so and...

    Commercial Pilot Career?

    And there is no need to spend 80k at a big chain part 141 flight school to have a pilot career. Have him spend way less and get his private at a small local flight school and see how he does. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Frankly an under reaction, if anyone ever endangered me and my kids like that... but also why I’m not letting others fly my plane generally... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ATC - When you issue - turn right heading 270 on climbout

    ATC - When you issue - turn right heading 270 on climbout

    I just always turn as soon as practical after reaching 400 for diverse departure. I do it in the single, and it’s SOP at both airlines I worked for... not sure the downside, ask if in doubt what they want... I suppose it’s more of an issue on a vfr day at a towered airport. But usually they will...

    Does ATC know if you are IR'ed?

    I suppose you missed the part where they don’t know who you are. ATC isn’t FAA enforcement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Does ATC know if you are IR'ed?

    Does ATC know if you are IR'ed?

    It’s only when it’s a pop up. In the northeast if a GA airplane they seem to ask 80% of the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Does ATC know if you are IR'ed?

    They regularly get a verbal confirmation for a pop up clearance, “please confirm you are IFR capable and equipped” or similar. Cracked me up once when flying for a well known 135 commuter airline and got that question. That operation flew IFR constantly and 135 scheduled service requires pic to...

    Does ATC know if you are IR'ed?

    They may ask you. But no they have no idea who the pilot is, so they can’t know and can’t know if you lie. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Zero-Zero Below and Out of Options - IFR Past Minimums

    In a Seminole or Cougar or Duchess perhaps, but bigger “light” twins most certainly can fly a missed single engine with proper technique... good thing to practice... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
