Re: Boeing 737 doesn't have synthetic vision

EGPWS, while it doesn't have a 3D view of the terrain, it does have a top down view. I can't imagine a situation where someone would have a cfit accident in a modern airplane that would of been saved by a synthetic vision display. Money on that sort of system is better spent elsewhere IMHO. Cheers D5

Re: VIP Laminated Charts

I don't remember how much I paid, but I had my maps laminated myself when I got them. I thought it was worth it to ensure that they would last until the next revision. As for the ink, use a permanent marker. No ink on your hands and it will erase quite easily with any white eraser. That's what I use...

Re: I need help, again.

If time is way more important than money, then I'm sure that London Air Services could do the job, with a few lears, or potentially something bigger if required. If your clients are somewhat flexible on time and want to save a whack of money, then WestJet flies from Vancouver to Palm Springs as well...

Re: HELP! Telex 850ANR Versus Seinnheiser HMEC 46 ANR for B7

So I take it the other posters who flew with the uflymic setup either had a hot mic or sat in the left seat? I wouldn't mind the noise cancelling in just one ear, I just picked up a telex 750 and find that I have a hard time making out ATC transmissions For those of using a 5x5 did you ever have pro...

Re: HELP! Telex 850ANR Versus Seinnheiser HMEC 46 ANR for B7

For those of using the Bose QC2's and uflymic combo, how do they work for sitting on the copilot's of the cockpit. No intercom in the 37 I fly so I need to uncover the left ear. Anyone using it on the right side of the airplane?

Re: Here is a wake up...or back to sleep!!!

From an owners standpoint why would you pay someone to do something they love to do and will do if you just let them? I wouldn't mind taking a stab at that question. Because the owners will get what they pay for. While they might be able to attract some people that are very passionate about their j...

Re: Pay Day Loan Operations

So are you upset that banks aren't subject to the same regualtion? Would you feel better if the limits on banks where removed, and any institution could charge whatever intrest rates they see fit?

If someone is willing to take out a loan for 200% interest, why do you wanna stop em?

I'll answer 100% politely on the radio, but I'm not happy to taking the vector. Why? I understand the need to build spacing, but why not do it a bit further back with a speed restriction? Flying out into the middle of nowhere is just plain ole inefficient.
