    Go to University and study Aeronautics/Aeronautical engineering, and actually learn something.

    ok, let me be more specific: What do you think is the most difficult weather to takeoff/land in, but also isn't bad enough to just make you cancel/delay/divert/etc. Obviously you're not even going to try to fly in a tornado or hurricane or some shit. I was thinking more like, heavy snow vs heavy rain, or just clear skies + crosswinds right at the limit for your platform.... you know. The kind of shit you fly through every day, but it's fucking difficult.

    crosswind is the most difficult obv pending on aircraft which have bigger/smaller tollerances

    If you know what a microburst is you would know that its nothing like a tornado(dont know if u are same person) but its THE most dangerous thing.
    Also, flying in Icing conditions(dont read snow) is the worst thing to fly in. Rime + clear ice is not nice

    Thanks :) I do indeed know what a microburst is, and I understand why they're so dangerous. However, What I'm visualizing is, you're still at cruising altitude, say an hour and a half out. You get the most updated weather, and it's not bad enough to divert, but it's looking pretty ugly. You decide to bring it in for an approach rather than go in to holding, but it just turns in to a remarkably challenging approach & landing. In the end, you don't need to go around and you get it on the ground, but once you taxi up to the gate you sink back in to your chair and take a deep breath. The passengers have no clue what the kind of skill it took to enable them to walk obliviously up the jetway, happy to be on time.
    That's the kind of pilot skill that impresses me. I'm not a pilot, but I am somewhat knowledgeable about the subject, and I'm always curious about scenarios like the one I just outlined. How many times have I walked off a plane to my waiting family, having no clue the heroics the flight crew just went through to get me there?

    here in my country, we have 2 jet companies, and basically, everyone goes through the same process of becoming a pilot - this "college" of 3 years parallel with all required licenses, then we immediately apply for a job at one of those companies, if you are lucky you get in immediately, companies both pay your type rating and basically you're flying a320 or md80 by the time you're 22. How old were you when you started flying 330?

    Not OP here. My best guess is, in that scenario with no power, you want to maximize your glide efficiency. I would assume it would vary by the specific glide characteristics of each aircraft. Ball-park guess, I'm thinking either flaps up or no lower than 20%. Seems to me like full flaps would kill too much airspeed.

    On our planes, they stay in the position they are in as long as you only have 1 notch in. If you have 1 notch in reduce speed by 10 knots and continue. If you have more than one notch in and you can't make it to the field you are a bad pilot and should die in the crash.

    flaps would probably give you too much lift, therefore overshooting worse.

    mind you ive never flown a passenger jet, but ATPL theory seems to suggest it would be even worse in one of those.

    indeed. it would be a shame if you made it to the runway, got the jet on the ground, and then caught on fire due to hot brakes, or ran off the runway and still crashed. Seems like the best answer is, 1) it depends 2) probably going to keep flaps up until you have the runway made, or unless you have too much speed and just need to slow down 3) probably going to put them full down before touchdown to shave off as much excess speed as possible.

    FAA Regulations state that you can not fly any aircraft if you have a BAC higher than .04 and that you have not had any alcoholic drink in the last 8 hours before flight. I think you're full of shit.

    ...Okay...so I won't pass the EU test...big whoop.

    My country (USA) launched a bunch of DME's into SPACE which is what we use to navigate via triangulation...

    Also, we wouldn't use DME/DME in the US like that....I'd say use DME/VOR or VOR/VOR to get a position.

    I started training to become a commercial pilot two years ago. I obtained my PPL then the course I planned to join was dropped by the company offering it.

    I hold a PPL, have 150 hours PIC(P1) and no way to afford the training costs anymore.

    Any advice?

    I've not paid any money to the course.

    It was supplied by Cabair in the UK.. I am half way through my ATPL course but when I reach the end of it I'm screwed.

    What they had offered was once I passed the CPL to pay for 75% of my CFI and then IR+ME, if I agreed to instruct for them for two years or 2000 hours.

    There's no way I can afford the CFI course and the £14k needed for the IR+ME.

    That was some shit. Now they are short 2 more people in that tower.

    I think that having his kid on the radio was funny, and suspending the controller and his boss made the workload higher on everyone else, and the skys a bit more dangerous.

    I did, during a solo cross country in uncontrolled airspace (between Kissimmee and Ocala). I came on my checklist and had to throw it out of the window and then do it from memory for landing... I also gained 500 feet of height when I came. :D

    No house anymore, getting divorced and what little equity we did have in it is going to pay off marital debts. My shit really sucks right now. All them richfags who go about blowing money on fuck all could lend me the training costs and make a real big difference in my life, but they're fags and enjoy laughing at people who whine like this. So I'll just stick to flying 10-20 hours in a PA28 every year instead.
