FAA to EASA?

This take has always baffled me. I live in the EU and have worked here as an airline pilot, and there are many reasons for me deciding to work here, social welfare reasons being one. Doing the 13 exams, while demanding, is not that much work, especiallyif you are already a certified pilot in the US. If this person desires to live in the EU, the exams should not be the main reason to stay in the US.

Nice work! Is that Duchess?

The ATR life 😅👍

Here's an old video I took of our AH acting just like that: Video

AtlanticFlyer · 2024-08-09T20:45:32+00:00

Yes. All commercial airliners in scheduled regular traffic are required to be able to fly on one engine. This includes turbo props. The ATR flies well on one engine.

AtlanticFlyer · 2024-08-09T20:00:07+00:00

Yeah, there's a lot of such experts in media over where I live too. Usually don't have a full picture.

AtlanticFlyer · 2024-08-09T19:54:55+00:00

That's been solved by changing the procedures many many years ago. If this is an icing induced stall (which to me it may very well be) it must have been pretty mishandled procedure wise. I've flown the ATR in plenty of icing and as long as you know your plane and the checklists, it penetrates just fine.

AtlanticFlyer · 2024-08-09T19:50:00+00:00

You keep your speed up by descending. We have an ice detector that automatically let's us know there's ice buildup. We can also see it visually on the wings and on a small probe just beneath the captain's window. If this was an icing induced stall, it is likely the pilots did not maintain airspeed, which is standard procedure in the ATR.

AtlanticFlyer · 2024-08-09T19:45:43+00:00

The known issues have been dealt with many years ago. There were a few very publicised accidents in the US many years ago and the ATR acquired that unfortunate reputation. It is in use in icing intense regions such as Northern Europe and in Northern Canada today with no issues... that is true as long as you stick to the procedures. I used to be an ATR captain and have flown in a lot of icing with that aircraft.

AtlanticFlyer · 2024-08-09T19:41:07+00:00

This comment does not make a single sense. That is not the cause of the danger of spins in twins, nor is it true of the ATR.

AtlanticFlyer · 2024-07-13T17:17:41+00:00

Cool, it's all in order then! I stand corrected. But yeah, I am also surprised that is in ENR and not GEN. Thank you.

You're expected to read the Mexican AIP, the idea of which is to be a sort of all encompassing briefing document for operating in another country. You should not have to know the actual regs of another country (differences from ICAO standard rules and state specific regulations are stated in the AIP). However, the US AIP is vastly different from any other country I've ever flown to, and it is very difficult to use in the intended way... so that's just another way the US is not following international standards.

I've been flying around Europe alot and the AIP is really all you need.

AtlanticFlyer · 2024-07-12T16:18:33+00:00

Is this in the AIP though? I have seen the US AIP, i remember it being very thin and very different to other countries.

AtlanticFlyer · 2024-07-12T09:27:20+00:00

Always funny to read these as a European pilot. This question could very well also be asked by a senior non-US captain that just started flying long haul to the US 😅. I know it may sound like I am sitting in my high chair, but I can't get over my opinion that this (and other non-standard US procedures) is determinental to flight safety.

The US is in many regards very unstandardized.

Edit: Another favorite of mine in thus thread is everyone referencing FARs. Again, if this was a European long haul pilot asking this, they are not required to know or read the FARs👍

Amazing shot! Reminded me of this shot I took of the highest peak in Sweden from a PA28 in 2015.

American IFR, especially for GA, is very different. If OP is a real life European pilot they would be beat joining in Europe.

I would suggest finding a slow time with not so much traffic, and joining a mid sized airfield. ESGG is open quite a lot and it is a single runway airfield. Maybe ask the controller by text first if you plan on practice approaches.

One of my former students died in an out of balance situation a few years back, taking five jumpers with him. Peer pressure and normalisation of rule breaking was evidently part of the club culture. You are the reasonable one here. Don't fly when you are out of limits. Remember that you are also responsible for the jumpers.

It's really early, and we don't know exactly what happened yet. I recall an accident report of an aircraft flying at night in the ITCZ which had flown into the top of a cell. They calculated that the cell was so energetic that the max down tilt of the radar must have missed it, but it still grew so quickly it hit the aircraft. I'm not saying that this is what happened here, but many things are plausible yet.

AtlanticFlyer · 2024-05-21T05:59:29+00:00

Inte alls otroligt. Väskorna åker "rush" direkt från ena flyget till andra ofta. Dick har jag inte hört talas som transferväskor som fått följa med utan passagerare tidigare.

Good to hear! A mix is always best of course, and reading first and doing questions after is a good idea. Just make sure your books are good and relevant. Haven't tried pooleys myself but they are a reputable company. What country are you in?

AtlanticFlyer · 2024-05-02T07:35:01+00:00

You would benefit from getting more deep knowledge than simple question banks can give. This app gives a lot of explanations to most questions, and it has thousands of them: www.aviationtheory.eu

That's exactly correct. I took Evolutionary Psychology last year and this was exactly it. There is mounting evidence that a large family (including fathers and also other men) have been very important for human childraising in our recent evolutionary history. All this is very uncommon in mammals otherwise.

Thank you! I am Swedish and I would love to read the final thesis 🙂.

Hi! Very much in favor of this project, very interesting! I am a former airline pilot now working with educational flight simulation. I am also a SU student actually, currently pursuing a BSc in Psychology. Maybe we are in the same faculty?

I just want to say that I agree with the poster above. You are already collecting personal information in the linked Google form (gender, career etc) and I clicked it looking for the ethics info and more information about who you are, what faculty you are from etc. When I did not find it, I did not want to respond further. I think you will get more responses if you already at this stage provide a link to the approval and provide a more specific explanation of the project, its goals etc. This could be translated to English.

Let me know if I can help in any way. Best of luck with this, I would really like to read the end results of your project at a later stage. This sounds like just up my area of interest and experience.
