Re: Proposed Flight Crew Fatigue Regs

Re: Entering controlled IFR from uncontrolled airport
Touchy subject, If you were departing an airport contolled, technically you'd need the vfr release (not enforced outside of the MF). You got the inbetween airspace figured out, so you could depart vfr, and even enter controlled vmc. It depends on where you are going, and how you are going to get the...

Re: Composite VFR/IFR flightplan woes
Not a problem, just not sure how specific you want to get. When you call into the FIC state "itinerary" as apposed to "flight plan". Read up on what the differences are (not a big deal for this specific situation). File the IFR Itinerary, point-to-point-to-point. Just as you normally would with an "...

Re: Composite VFR/IFR flightplan woes
Hey photofly, You're using the composite improperly, I won't get into the primary usage but, what you want to do for that specific situation is use an IFR Itinerary with two or more legs via waypoints; full stops are not necessary to define "a leg". File the flight as it will be flown, but on initia...

Re: Thunder Air job
Nothing there that I don't agree with. The distinction that should be made though, is that the whole concept of "how things should be" in the industry, and "how they actually are" is the difference between fantasy and reality. I don't disagree with having differing opinions about how to affect chang...

You need a new thread to discuss the single speed engine and it's quirks. You're on the right track though Ki-ll. Here is a few generalisations to rebuff 90% of the statements. A failed engine is one where the fire is out, that's it. It is now referred to, as a hunk of metal. That spinning hunk of m...
