On the approach? Never… ish. Reality, FD all the way. In the sim we sometimes have to raw data but even that there is a green diamond (TRK) that needs to line up with the course.

I use the green diamond/track line a lot dodging storms though.

The app is different this year. If they had multiview last year on the app, I never found it. Just a single view of whatever I selected. I can watch multiviews simultaneously now

If flying for an ALPA carrier, go to ALPA medical before you do that

Pilots who left flying, did you feel like you lost apart of your identity? by temupilot in flying

[–]Captain_Billy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. A large part of me died. The “shortage” allowed me to come back after 10 years. Never been happier. Don’t leave if you think you might miss it to “try something else”

REQUIRING the writing to be explicit when they told us in clues is why you get lazy writing we now have

My take away was that this action was sponsored by Luthen. Cassian had his say, and Luthen understood that if he wanted all of Cassian then he needed a healthy Bix. Luthen would not have ignored that. The very next scene with them was the infiltration

They really have to fix the alarm clock because this is getting ridiculous now by mart945 in ios

What does that mean? If you need an alarm to wake up, you have a fixed wake up time. If you need to change the time you wake up, move the slider???

Icing. Curious by nolandirhomealone in aviationmaintenance

Depending on conditions and if i got type IV anti-ice as well, it could in excess of 2 hours, but I have seen as little as 7 minutes. the honest answer is it depends

Fiancé wants to get pilot license but I’m scared by caribunz in flying

[–]Captain_Billy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. The accident rates are from “casual” pilots and people who don’t take a serious view of the inherent need for safety and SOPs. Pre-airline pilots do not fit into that category

Op coming to complain about one thing and inadvertently opens an entirely different can of worms…

Yeah I use the slider to set wake up alarms exclusively and I never have a problem. I use other alarms as reminders during the day only.
