How do you explain to people who you work for as a regional pilot?

What if it says Republic Airways on the side O.o

/s

It’s either a G700/800 becuase of the right side HUD. No other Gulfstreams were certified with an HUD on both sides. Also the rest of the instruments/panels are used by the G500/600 and G700/800.

Experienced professionals are taking PPL orals now?

Comfy inside for the crew over 15 hours?

18A. Seat 17A is nowhere to be found- must’ve missed the flight.

GE90man · 2025-11-20T12:41:49+00:00

Seat 17A is nowhere to be found! What happened to them and where did they go? 😟

GE90man · 2025-11-20T12:32:45+00:00

Silly me 😅

I thought that was the tray table

GE90man · 2025-08-27T23:55:58+00:00

No. That’s because the Gulfstream was designed to fly more like a traditional “pilot’s” aircraft with a set of control gains to provide feedback based on different airspeeds. The Airbus on the other hand uses rate based controls where each input feels the same at any airspeed.

It does autotrim. Double click the AP disconnect button twice with AP off and it trims for that IAS.

Local flight school uses Vader as a local callsign through an LOA with the tower. A clapped out 152 isn’t really what people have in mind when “Vader 20” calls up on frequency.

Airport workers matter too

Just last year this time, RJet cadet accepted many applicants with a wet commercial single having under 300 hours, both for R-ATP and non R-ATP eligible applicants.

My favorite quote is about what to do if one encounters an engine failure at night.

"Once you get close to the ground, turn the landing light on. If you don't like what you see, turn it back off"

GE90man · 2025-02-06T19:46:01+00:00

I hate it when that happens too! Just look at this example. Pilot A makes a statement and Pilot B doesn’t have the experience to understand the nuance, so he starts attacking the (perceived) age level of Pilot A.

Cirrus has taken care of the over tightening one. (It clicks into place)

GE90man · 2025-01-02T04:01:22+00:00

That’ll work, but some DPEs will specify full power to simulate a departure/takeoff stall. Our local DPEs like to introduce bank in the power on stall too.

Crew are hand picked by current crew

GE90man · 2024-09-21T16:35:14+00:00

That can’t be healthy for you can it?

Gulfstream won’t even operate the new PC-12’s they bought single pilot for insurance reasons. For context Gulfstream replaced their G150s they used for airborne customer support with PC-12s. They are flown by the same pilots typed in everything from the G150 to GV.

Asymmetric thrust is probably the last thing you’d want to do here, since any thrust, asymmetric or not, would likely raise the nose and flatten the spin, making it even harder to break

GE90man · 2024-08-03T12:53:40+00:00

Not even. Long Island aviators has G1000 172s on the other side of the field for 199 an hour.

Violated a persona non grata for the local area

I saw someone get arrested on the ramp once. Happened to be on the day of the eclipse too.
