§ 121.652 Landing weather minimums: IFR: All certificate holders. (a) If the pilot in command of an airplane has not served 100 hours as pilot in command in operations under this part in the type of airplane he is operating, the MDA or DA/DH and visibility landing minimums in the certificate...

I would agree but here's a story.... I was flying with a high min's captain, and it was a 3 man crew. We were holding because of weather in Berlin, and the CA was under the impression we could not shoot the approach because our opSpecs said Visibility AND DH for the high min's rule. MYself and...

Our OpSpecs stipulate the following for a high min's captain: The equivalent experience reduction for a Captain who already has 100 hours as Pilot-In-Command in another type of aircraft in air carrier operations is arrived at by reducing the 100 hours by 1 hour for each landing made in the new...

The only place meters is widely used is Russia, all the "stans", you know kazakstahn, uzbekistan, etc.. and China.

All part 121 carriers I know of require a write-up and aircraft inspection if the aircraft encountered SEVERE turbulence.

Severe turbulence requires an aircraft inspection upon landing. You said you couldn't drink your bloody mary? If it was severe turbulence you'd be wearing the bloody mary

Mayday is a necessity if declaring an emergency in intl airspace. The word "emergency" is not recognized in most places outside of the united states. I agree, just declare the emergency with ATC, no need to use mayday.

I think you're correct. At my airline the 757/767 does not have a published x-wind limit. IT has recommendations based on dry, wet, snow covered runway, but no limitations. The ATR had a limit, and the Embraer 145 only had a company imposed limitation.

What part 121 aircraft are you flying that has a demonstrated crosswind component? Throughout my airline career (includes ATR's, Embraers, 737's, MD80s, and currently 767/757), all the aircraft either have a crosswind limitation or no limitation at all. None of them have had a demonstrated...

You're correct, my wording was incorrect, "below" and "to" were mixed up. If you get to 100ft above TDZ elevation with ONLY the approach lights in sight, you can not descend below the 100ft unless the siderow/terminating bars are visible(which then assumes an ALSFI/II approach lighting system is...

That's not exactly true. In order to descend to 100ft above touchdown zone elevation, you must have the red siderow bars or red terminating bars in sight. This is only possible if you are shooting an approach to a runway which has an ALSF I or ALSF II approach lighting system. If the runway only...

-Be sure to practice your DME arcs because most approaches down there use one to transition to the ILS or final approach course -Don't rely on ATC to keep you away from the mountains. As a pilot you're God, and if you want to descend right into a mountain ATC will clear you as requested.

Which school?

gotcha...makes sense now

Your signature says you have 82 hrs, so why take the atp written since it's going to expire in 2 yrs anyway?

Diego Garcia is a great place to get stuck...although swimming in the ocean with the shark infestation could be a problem It is by far the most interesting place I've ever flown to.
