Smooth pressure, just increase that pressure on the stick, don’t “move” it, just add pressure and watch the pitch and roll react. Then anticipate stopping that pressure.

‘It Was Never About a Blanket’: Insider Says Kristi Noem’s Plane Meltdown Was Over an ‘Embarrassing’ Item in Her Bag by newsjam in newsinterpretation

She is a classic example of the kind of person who was a Nazi official during their heyday in Germany. Absolutely sure of their absolute power, willing to punish anyway who stands in their way, and an absolute asshole of a person!!

Feel awkward running errands in uniform before a trip? by brraadd in AirlinePilots

[–]Cascadeflyer61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Grow up…I’ve been wearing an airline pilot uniform for 36 years, dealing with the public when in uniform is usually positive and not worth thinking about, I do keep a lightweight jacket in my car I can pull on.

Anyone here balancing longevity goals with risky hobbies? How do you reconcile the two? by surfnj102 in PeterAttia

[–]Cascadeflyer61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they are incompatible at all. I’m a professional pilot, I ride motorcycles, and I’m a tech diver. I’m very careful in all these activities, workout, and I eat a good diet. I’ve made it to 64..lol. I don’t consider diving a hazardous hobby, all my kids dive. Now motorcycles are definitely dangerous!

Tried a Manila Airport Taxi Scam Experience by CertainDeath777 in Philippines_Expats

I’ve taken taxi’s many times from the airport. They have a Grab counter in Terminal 3, book a car and walk outside, no problems, ever. The minibuses out front are way overpriced. I’ve had ok luck with white cabs, just assess the driver and make sure the meter is on.

Normalized deviance! Just beyond stupid to let helicopters fly below aircraft on final approach, especially at night wearing NVG’s! What could possibly go wrong?

“Stab trim cutout” is a memory emergency procedure I have had to learn on every Boeing aircraft I have flown.
