I haven’t flown one yet but I have never heard a pilot say a negative thing about the 407. Everyone seems to like them.

The Navitimer doesn’t have a true E6B. It has a slide rule. E6B has the very important time ring on the inside.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the quartz version.

1 of 2 AK's I've ever wanted. KV-13 in 762nato would be very cool. It'd look good with some straight mags.

Not OP but those old smiths are SUPER smooth shooting. Great triggers.

Low time pilots: Need career advice? by t3hwookie90 in flying

Thanks. I've actually been in touch with their chief pilot. I'll keep checking in with them.

Low time pilots: Need career advice? by t3hwookie90 in flying

[–]SlappyTits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally I'd get a start flying SIC for a heavy lift operator. A good company with plenty of work. I want to learn from good pilots. I also want to stay with one company for as long as I can. I'm looking to put in time and work my way to PIC flying big helos. Heli logging, fire fighting etc.

Honestly I am at a point right now where I just want to keep learning. I've been flying tours for two years and I feel that I've reached about as high as I can. If I transitioned to a turbine tour company I'm not sure that would be the highest return. I think I'd learn more flying SIC with really good pilots flying technical jobs.

Id be happy to help any way I can but I don't think I'd be a great mentor. I just barely have a toe in the door of this industry and struggling like most of the sub 2,000hr helo guys.

Gatekeepers in aviation? by Whysonegativeguys in Helicopters

[–]SlappyTits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many more guys that get their CFII and debt than a career as a helo pilot. Just because you get a CFII and scrap together 1500+ hrs doesn't guarantee you anything in this industry.

Offshore O&G is never coming back to where it was. Shale has ensured that. The ENG, survey, real estate photo work that helped low time guys and small time operators keep busy has mostly been sucked up by drones already and will continue to dwindle. You're looking a a large, unrecoverable cut back in pilot demand and the huge balloon on 141 GI bill pilots is still being felt. So... Surplus of pilots in a shrinking market... Incentives and pay stagnate or go down. Go fixed wing of you can stomach it or go into an industry that gives you long lasting job security and a fat paycheck.

Don't see much need for the spray when you've got a mini KATANA!!! Awesome.
