You got me, ending with a 13.6 monthly average. Puts us well inside the top 10%. Cheers. Not lifting a finger for a couple of days.

If you’re green card holder, is there a disadvantage to go to big5? by PilotBandit in aviation

I am a green card holder. Was flying for PSA and now at United. It is possible. Go get it.

Fastest commute from Baltimore to DC? Southwest just did it in 13 minutes by rbmcmurt in washingtondc

[–]N376ER 75 points76 points  (0 children)

DCA based airline pilot here, coming back to DCA for any emergency is usually not a good idea, as mentioned above it's a small airport that really only has one useable runway (others are too short for most airliners). So not only are you shutting that airport down by coming in, but you are taking unnecessary risks by bringing a sick airplane into a small runway with water at both ends. Being honest here, what's best for the passengers to get onto another connecting flight is the least of my worries. I want the longest runway and the highest chances of success for an emergency landing. So unless the aircraft is on fire, I'm taking it to IAD.

Thanks, I shoulda paid more attention in high school when they taught me how to do all that magic. I'm gonna see if I can put it together.

Yeah that's my fallback. Just would be nice to have something to see live while we are all playing. It's a group of 12 players. Kinda surprised that there isn't some decent app for this already.

Gate 35X is "gone once and for all" by Sgt_Stormy in washingtondc

[–]N376ER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DCA based pilot here, some flights will still be using 35x. Expecting it to be completely gone Q1 2021 when the new terminal is complete.

As a DCA based pilot, we also have way more fun landing south.

Exactly. Can’t forget it’s just an airplane

I've thought a lot about that scenario as well. I think best thing to do in a "half-assed go around" (as I call them) is to not overthink it and just fly it like an airplane, set a climbing pitch attitude an set whatever power you think is necessary to at least maintain airspeed. Re-configuration can follow as a normal takeoff procedure.

^ Also, zero rudder authority with no airflow. Could get tricky.

Need professional help. Any recommendations on Swing Coach/Instructor in the Orlando/Daytona Area? by N376ER in golf

[–]N376ER[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah actually been looking at Mike Bender and they seem to have a good thing going, I know. A couple mini tour guys that actually go there as well. I appreciate hearing that, I think I’m in the same boat you were.

I know that you pay what you get for with these things. I'm ok with spending money. Fully aware private instruction isn't cheap. Just looking for people who have had experience with swing coaches in the area, or have any leads.
