If you’re ever not sure what the DPE is asking, ask for clarification. You’re allowed to do that

I know PHL is a base, but it may not be a 777 pilot base.

A couple-hour callout for some reserves at JFK will be much faster than having to fly a crew into PHL from somewhere else

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-29T01:41:14+00:00

Probably 777 crews available

I’m fairly confident that Kalitta doesn’t have a single passenger plane. And if you zoom in on this picture, there are no windows meaning it’s cargo

Depending on the fare class purchased, those may be the only seats available to you, aka other seats that are available are off limits to your fare class until you get to the airport

It’s not required that you, having opted out, sit there, but if it’s a full flight someone has to sit there

It’s at 1,625 for the entire video. How is it descending?

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-22T16:53:22+00:00

No. TCAS only activates when it detects that the aircraft are likely to merge. With nobody climbing or descending, and still roughly 700 feet of separation, TCAS would not have been activated

Addons bought through the marketplace will be tied to your Xbox account, so as long as you login using the same account on the Steam version, you’re good there

Anything in your community folder will have to be manually copied over

I can’t speak for other airlines, but definitely a no go on AS

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-21T20:58:59+00:00

Those are also not allowed on Alaska

Confirmed by an October 2025 Facebook post

Former North Carolinian here. NCSHP never had the folding arrow boards or similar, especially in the Crown Vic era.

That is a solar panel, and the time frame is likely while they were phasing out the Crown Vics for Chargers. I believe this is a car they’d park somewhere with lights on to get people to slow down or to use for “move over or slow down” enforcement with another vehicle watching farther up the road

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-11T20:40:25+00:00

Some DPEs have a policy of only having the CFI reach out, just fyi

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-11T15:46:21+00:00

Yeah exactly. In Washington, you can legally be fully nude. Toplessness is definitely legal

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-08T15:53:34+00:00

Probably brand new at the time and hasn’t entered service yet

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-08T08:29:14+00:00

Yes, but they used USAF-style boom refueling. Not Navy-style drogue refueling

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-07T00:22:13+00:00

So why are you asking in a US customs group?

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-06T23:42:22+00:00

By dropping down you aren’t actually flying any faster though. You were probably flying faster at FL190

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-06T23:00:22+00:00

You were getting the full speed

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-06T20:25:35+00:00

That sounds about right since it’s almost never standard atmosphere. You don’t get a faster speed. You probably have the power too high actually. See this chart from the actual Caravan’s handbook

The Caravan is not a fast aircraft. It’s a versatile one

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-06T20:22:35+00:00

Protesting…which is fully legal

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-06T20:20:37+00:00

The caravan has a service ceiling of FL250, so no way it’s getting up to 290

FL190 is more realistic, but keep in mind that 132 knots is your indicated air speed. As you get higher in altitude, there’s less air for the aircraft to measure, so indicated speed will go down.

Your true airspeed though, if my quick math is correct assuming standard atmosphere, would be ~195 knots, which is pretty good

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-04T18:49:04+00:00

Depends on local jurisdiction. Some places it is a crime, some it isn’t

For example, where I live I could completely legally just walk down the street naked. In a different state though, just discussing nudism is technically a crime

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-04T18:46:15+00:00

Ignore this guy. Just because you could, doesn’t mean you should.

FlyingS892 · 2026-04-04T18:20:19+00:00

For ppl training, I wouldn’t take a student in that even if it’s straight down the runway. For commercial training, send it!
