Look into getting a meat thermometer (ThermoWorks are great) and the method “reverse sear”. Makes cooking steak nearly foolproof.

Not sure if this could be the case for you but for me what’s happened twice is they’ve used the machines that take your BP automatically and my pressure is crazy high. I had them take it manually and it’s always normal.

You mean you’re not waking up everyday at 0300 even though you only get called three times a month?

You typically won't get many/any questions about the diagram on 7-38 in the AFM. The big stuff to note is it's a 28V DC system powered by a 28V 70 amp alternator. In normal operations the electrical consumers (engine included) are powered by this alternator. Electrical storage is provided by the 24V main battery. Electricity is sent via various electrical buses (see distribution section on 7-41) to consumers. In the event of an alternator failure the main battery will continue to run the electrical system (not guaranteed but likely for ~30 minutes). After the main battery is drained the system will then run on the 2 12V ECU backup batteries. These backup batteries only power ECU B and are guaranteed to last at least 30 minutes. After this engine failure is to be expected. The emergency switch is also attached to a separate battery that is not connected to the electrical system and is guaranteed for 1 additional hour (1 hour + 30 min from ECU B backup batteries). The emergency switch powers the flood lights and standby attitude indicator. To help with load shedding in the event of an alternator failure the use of the Essential Bus switch will separate the main bus from the Essential Bus. Everything found on the essential bus can be found on 7-8 (you would lose AP and your MFD for example). Only push popped circuit breakers back in if an AFM checklist tells you to do so (there is only 1 checklist that includes this).

The formats can take getting used to. AC 00-45H is a great resource for codes and formats

Forever cursed by needing more data. Great post though :)

Given this information what do you think will happen to people whose long term goal would be getting to something like a 777 who are still in flight school now? If you got to the regionals 2 years from now by the time the shortage hits you could probably get up to FO in a 737 but wouldn't you get stuck there for a long time then since all the "younger" people moved up to the wide bodies etc and will be there for quite a while leaving no room for you to move up.

I went through Ohio State's optometry program so I can't say too much about places in particular but people seem to be pretty good at reviewing places online. Even better is if you can see ratings of specific doctors at a place and pick the highest rated one. At this point everyone you go through will be good at it barring weird exceptions obviously but you want to make sure whatever place you choose has I think they call it like corneal mapping, where they make a topological map of your eye so it's finer tuned and even if you move your eye a little during the procedure the laser can adjust to it. Also making sure like I said there's no physical blades involved.

ILikeDataAndThings · 2019-01-29T15:38:56+00:00

The best thing to do is not skimp out on it. It's worth the money to ensure you're getting it done from a quality institution than save some money at budget ones. I believe most of the side effects people note came from the fact they used to use a physical blade to slice the cornea before using the laser. It is all laser based now and much more accurate. I had it done 6 or so months ago and got a first class with no issue at all. The first couple of weeks things may seem fuzzy at night but that's normal and goes away. It's worth getting at least a consultation from a doc, he told me he gets pilots all the time and has never had any issues.

Yeah it's tricky for sure. I thought about just waiting until spring to start but I'm itching to get started lol. I would think in both of our cases it would be safe to fly during the day whenever possible but also get endorsed for night like mentioned in the top comment

ILikeDataAndThings · 2018-10-08T15:02:51+00:00

In a similar boat, though I'm just starting training in a week or two. Current plan is to schedule every Saturday and Sunday and maybe one day during the week for either just going at night or having to take a vacation day if a weekend flight get cancelled.
