How much fuel does a Dash-8 even hold???
The media never accurately reports events - especially aviation related ones. It's all about getting a story out there; 99% of the public doesn't really...
That is awesome! Everyone always seems to be more chatty when the boom's a girl, or come up a lot closer to the cockpit window when my co-pilot is one... Hmmmm weird...
Yea it's not a correct explanation. Nowhere is there a procedure to fly a 22*/EXT approach to inside 500' AGL and then configure in the final approach configuration and stabilize on short final. The...
Entirely not true...

It does. The gear horn will come on, and cannot be silenced if the gear is not down and the flaps are extended beyond the approach flaps position (greater than 25*). It's an extremely annoying horn...
From what a bunch of friends working at major airlines (i.e. Delta, United, FedEx, SWA etc...) have said, just about any major airline pretty much requires at a minimum a bachelors degree; whether...
Surprised it hasn't been mentioned here yet since every major news source has something on it...
KC135 crashed right outside Manas, Kyrgyzstan after takeoff earlier today - initial reports are...
The GoPro is sweet.. I just bought one; great quality and so easy to use!
Pfft, anyone could grease it on with those kicking headwinds right down the pipe! :cool:
Like horsemeat much?

It all has to do with obstacle clearance requirements and the different way each approach is TERPSed.
An LNAV approach is TERPSed laterally and carries with it a required obstacle clearance from...
Not many issues getting gas south of 195. I filled up the other day in Mt. Laurel, wasn't even a line, and didn't see many lines for gas until north of 195 on the tpke.
Where you moving to?
Haha... Yep the KC10s at McGuire are part of the 305th AMW; didn't Grissom used to be the 305th ARW - very cool!
Hey now! Don't hate because we're so much more capable!
FIFY
FWIW the 757 seems to have the worst wake turbulence compared to other airliners....
What about the R/T 135s?
Very true, especially out in the South Pacific which makes the Atlantic look like a puddle.
Stand there at your own risk!
Welcome to my office... :cool:
I think the only time I've really thought about crashing is when things are going normally, it's quiet in the flight deck and there's nothing to do except think about anything and everything,...
