How does pilot get HALF a type rating?

It is not!

No, he was looking for an argument, abuse is down the hall (I know
only about 10% here will get that joke).

One possibility...........FAR 61.157...All training accomplished in a
Category D Simulator.
An excerpt:
(9) An applicant issued a pilot certificate with the limitation specified
in paragraph (g)(8) of this section--
(i) May not act as pilot in command of the aircraft for which an
additional
rating was obtained under the provisions of this section until the
limitation is removed from the certificate; and
(ii) May have the limitation removed by accomplishing 25 hours of
supervised operating experience as pilot in command under the supervision
of a qualified and current pilot in command, in the seat normally occupied
by the pilot in command, in an airplane of the same type for which the
limitation applies.

Thank YOU, Robt. Every other CLOWN here can go to hell!!!

I've seen winds approaching 100 knots over the North Atlantic. Is that
not significant?

That depends, it would be if I was flying there--even as a passenger.

Sitting here, in front of my computer, it's not significant at all.

I have experienced winds aloft approaching 85 knots over Northern Arkansas.

You kidding right?

At cruise levels you routinely see winds of 50, 100, or more knots.
Cruise at 450 kts and factor a head wind of 100 kts and you'll see it
makes a big difference on range.

For t/o winds and temperature are always taken into account, again
can make a big difference on load you can carry.

You and Tman might want to cut your losses on this one. You are
arguing with a moron that insists aircraft brakes are to hold the
aircraft during run-up only, and were never intended for stopping the
aircraft.



never heard you say that.. Not surprised however.

no I'm not kidding. I'm referring to Pilatus PC9's in training
roles.


Yes, so? th eOP was talking about an airliner

Bertie

no. he was relating a comment made by a pilot which he thought was a
flick off. I dont think it was.


Nope,

....havent we all got something better to do?


Not at the moment!

That all? Seen over 200,

And often.

Not as long as you're here, fjukktard.

What is the NORMAL cruise RPM these days? Core, fan ????? Or where do
you set the bug?

In F-80 we used 100% from take off until retarded for landing.

Word then came down to only use 98% in cruise as that would give
longer engine life and save USAF money.

If you know his name you can look it up at registry.faa.gov. Perhaps
he had a 757 type rating when the 767 came out? Perhaps he has a type
rating limited to VFR or SIC?
I've also found that many captains really dislike answering questions
from GA pilots and have built it BS answers (epecially if this was
United, most of their pilots are jerks). I asked a pilot in Denver (on
a 100F day) if the density altitude was intersting that day. He said
"I don't worry about that stuff I have go to either way; just as long
as the wheels don't hit anything". Clealry he was just patting me on
the head and telling me to go away.

I dont think you were getting the shift at all.
In commercial service the guy is flying to a timetable with an
aircraft with lots of reserve power.
as he says he doesnt worry about that stuff because he has to fly it
anyway.

I used to worry about weather.
I've found that my aircraft tankers along enough fuel to be able to do
a 300 mile leg into a 15 knot headwind and still have an hour spare at
the other end. honestly as long as the air isnt opaque I'm going to
fly the leg anyway.

in our military's flying the cruise speed is over 250knots. I know
that they do not factor wind speed in their calcs because it is
insignificant.

most of high end aviation is spared the concerns of the private guy
because of the substantially higher performance of their aircraft.

Nope, sorry, all incorrect.
For one thing, wind can be very significant.
A headwind of 150 knots can put a big ent in your MPG
For anoher, we do not tanker a lot of fuel.
Destination, diversion and legal hold, period, unlss the weather is
filthy at the other end.
As for takeoff performance, it depends on the sector lenght, but the big
round things on the wings are made big to ensure one thing, payload.
The reserve power is good if you are nowhere near limiting performance ,
but if you are heavy or the runway is short, high or hot or a
combination, the performance becomes critical.
