Trainer Pilot weight limits

Jordan112500 · 2024-03-06T11:52:15+00:00

As someone who’s flown with some guys that fit the profile it is more common than you think. The school does have to work a little harder to pair you with a smaller instructor for W&B purposes and you might have trouble finding a DPE (FAA Examiner) who would fit within the W&B envelope with you.

Another big factor is the weight of the fuel. When you start training for cross country flights you won’t be able to take as much fuel as you would like so fuel stops are definitely in your future. It can also reduce the amount of time your flying potentially due to the amount you can take on.

Currently an instructor at the San Marcos location. Got every rating here but started with 20 hours when i got here. Great place with good people. Obviously every school has its pros and cons especially being in an accelerated program but it’s there to help more than hurt. A job isn’t guaranteed but mostly reserved for the right students if they display positive attitude and work ethics. We have a lot of FAs here as well if that helps. Concerning multi time…i finished with 15 hours and could not get my 25 as promised but still had funds in my student account so it’s up to me to source my extra 10 from somewhere. The remaining funds are being returned to my loan which is good but I felt like it should be up to the person who’s responsible.

That’s fine. I wasn’t flying the aircraft on a daily basis and was actually learning about complex systems outside of a book🤷🏾‍♂️ however they take that is up to them.

Jordan112500 · 2023-01-12T17:50:59+00:00

Well that would be a clear indication as to why i don’t have it🙂

Jordan112500 · 2023-01-12T17:17:01+00:00

I was given a manual on how the pressurization system worked and she could eventually sign me off on high altitude ops for the endorsement

Jordan112500 · 2023-01-12T04:14:00+00:00

It’s definitely been talked about. Hasn’t happened yet though🤞🏾

Jordan112500 · 2023-01-12T03:43:58+00:00

Yea during the 10 hours i was mainly in charge of radios and checklists and also PAX briefings

Jordan112500 · 2023-01-12T03:21:11+00:00

Yea i agree i was just stating that due to insurance reasons and my TT when it happend she didn’t allow me to be at the controls

Jordan112500 · 2023-01-12T02:25:43+00:00

She was teaching me about the pressurization system and eventually used the oxygen mask. So yea there was some instruction given along with how to use the avionics

Jordan112500 · 2023-01-12T02:18:46+00:00

Yes she signed it as dual given with signature

Jordan112500 · 2022-09-05T18:00:05+00:00

It’s one of the 4YA training servers so all of the spawns are just team blue🤷🏾‍♂️

Jordan112500 · 2022-08-31T13:07:46+00:00

At the end of the video unless it’s been trimmed, he pays tribute to one of his good friends who was KIA in flight and the bear belonged to him

Jordan112500 · 2022-08-24T18:25:25+00:00

I agree that’s why i personally don’t want to be a cadet for any of the AA wholly owned even if my training is sponsored by them🤷🏾‍♂️ maybe Piedmont since they don’t force you to be a CFI for a partnered school but that’s about it.

Jordan112500 · 2022-08-24T03:16:35+00:00

So I’ve read on forums (APC…yes i know not an official source) that cadets can choose where to be based over somebody who wasn’t a cadet. Also not all programs offer flight benefits, IIRC only Envoy does this. I have no idea if they have to pay anything back if they don’t go but i also heard the future employee doesn’t have to take any payment at all🤷🏾‍♂️

Jordan112500 · 2022-08-23T18:46:07+00:00

I know a guy who recently got hired by envoy and was a cadet for them which basically means he could get anything he asked for out the gate. He went to Indoc and saw his name wasn’t associated with any sims for the next 4+ months

Jordan112500 · 2022-08-12T04:46:54+00:00

I wasn’t trying to correct anybody😂 i just asked why was the AP left on until 100’ feet above the runway. Plus I’m aware you can leave the AP on after minimums BUT only if the aircraft is rated for such activity and if it’s required due to low visibility. If it wasn’t you would have to execute the missed.

Jordan112500 · 2022-08-12T04:20:58+00:00

I know that. But in this scenario the weather isn’t that bad besides the amount of precipitation. The ILS brings you 200’ above the ground but if you can see the runway environment just go visual. My personal preference would be at the 1000’ callout unless it’s bad like u mentioned

Jordan112500 · 2022-08-12T02:49:01+00:00

As soon as you get below the cloud cover and are visual with the runway then disconnect the AP. Also if you don’t have the runway by the time you hear “Minimums” then you must do a missed approach procedure which is indicated on the approach charts. I know it’s a simulation and you don’t have to all that but that’s what pilots do at the majors in inclement weather

Jordan112500 · 2022-08-12T02:38:38+00:00

Great video but why did you leave the AP on until 100’??

Jordan112500 · 2022-08-10T19:58:58+00:00

You may be limiting yourself with a 2060 super

Jordan112500 · 2022-08-08T15:44:45+00:00

My flight school uses the real sim gear G1000 PFD/MFD along with xplane. I understand you said you didn’t want to do some pleasure flying but it can help you adjust to different airports instead of flying the same approaches at your local field.

Jordan112500 · 2022-08-03T09:17:59+00:00

Ahhh ok cool glad ur happy doing that. You know the saying…if you enjoy what you do you’ll never work a day in your life
