I know of one such graduate who still had problems landing a single
after completing the course. I can only speculate with some
trepidation how he'll cope with landing an A320 or 737.


I know a guy who makes beautiful landings in airliners, yet drops my
Sundowner on the threshold like a brick. He flies his limits ever month
in the jets, and does maybe three landings a year in Spam cans.

So I ask, so what? G

A friend of mine went from F/O in a 747 to Captain in the MD-11 and
flies his Navajo fairly often. I asked him how he manages to avoid
carrier landings in the 'ho seeing as it sits so much lower to the
ground. His answer was "I fly alone if I haven't been in the Navajo
for a while."

What do you mean by a carrier landing?

Get your instructor to show you.... oh wait a minute, you aren't
learning to fly...

Or he could watch "Top Gun." Though it might make him airsick.

Maybe he should put it up on floats!

LOL... Don't know if he'd go for that, I doubt a float STC exists for
the PA-31
