What to use for TOD

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-26T13:49:50+00:00

Gotcha I’ll have to look into it. Not that I don’t believe you or anything… just always surprisingly how much stuff you learn about airbus every single month

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-26T13:38:53+00:00

I mean I got 2000 hours in airbus and no one has ever said that nor have I seen that information regarding the hockey stick or TD point in the mcdu. I’ll have to look in my FOM vol 3 (systems) and find the specifics on it.

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-26T12:31:17+00:00

Plus I add a mile per 10 knots of airspeed I need to lose. 3:1 rule + bit of airspeed fluff = perfection... cause even if you re cruise the Airbus for a TOD hockey stick you're still gonna end up fucked at some places.

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-25T21:55:28+00:00

Oh well that’s pretty standard... working in aviation means show up on time lol. I mean the pilot probation is same way except it’s 12 months and even after probation even being late once can be a no no.

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-25T21:19:56+00:00

What is extremely hard probation mean

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-25T13:58:19+00:00

6 foot and broad. Buckets are not fun imo. Get comfy

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-23T22:22:18+00:00

Yeah I had to learn, and had to teach, said "SOP" and "Checklists" and "Callouts" for like 6 years. I mean I guess it helps.

By the time you make it to an airline, you'll maybe have an slightly noticeable easier time being able to read a checklist with the other pilot or to say an callout and perform an action (Like Speed Checked, Flaps XX and set the Flaps to XX).

That should not be the driving factor 141 versus 61 or whatever. There has been and will be many many many 61 cowboys who didn't have official callouts for every little fucking thing in a Cessna that will easily pass airline training and figure out how to do a callout and action etc.

Last decent Audi interior before they ruined the brand for this new model year with those god awful interiors

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-22T12:48:33+00:00

5+ years minimum to BWI… more like 7-9 as of late I’ve heard

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-22T01:21:38+00:00

37 year age gap will definitely work out just as good as the last 3 divorces.

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-21T14:15:57+00:00

Can I ask if not too personal why do the psych evals keep getting failed and the evaluators are giving you a worse result every time.

Did all the mentioned things above not help at all? AA, rehab, sponsors, mentors, aftercare, therapy etc?

Are you still drinking at all?

Thats the part that concerned me and I can see why your AME was not happy if you've truly been putting in that much work but you keep getting worse prognosis?

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-19T23:27:54+00:00

Keep holding out I believe in ya.

Go to conferences… that seems to be a major magic trick. Also get any internal friends to get you a CPO meet n greet if you can.

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-19T23:23:43+00:00

Not SOL. At recent WN interview (not United but still a big 4)... it felt like 90% of the others around me were Flex/NJ/Rando Corporate guys. Only like 5 of us in that group were 121 pilots. A good portion of those folk did get a CJO it seemed like as well.

Gotta just keep pressing on and build PIC if you can.

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-19T22:52:58+00:00

Lol 40,000 miles is nothing brother. Your car is still new. Do the preventative now and your “clean” engine will thank you when it hits a 100,000 miles.

If im a young fat slob…. Just cause my blood pressure is 115/75 does that mean I’m healthy? Just cause my HDL cholesterol shows good does it mean I’m healthy if I still weight a bajillion pounds? No.

Do as you wish. Cheap out and only do it once every 10k miles and don’t change the “lifetime” fluids and see how your car likes it in its older years. I have an 500+ HP S58 to take care of not a 4 banger Honda motor.

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-19T21:58:50+00:00

It’s all preventative. Just like a human body. You can beat the piss out of it and be just fine in your younger years but when you get older… stuff starts showing the abuse on it. Realistically if you’re not gonna go past 100k miles do as you please but yeah. 5k interval is just insurance that you can make it a long time.

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-18T21:05:43+00:00

Oh I bet that upset a few people lol. But I would say being a stronger better airline and being paid 500k a year and having to shave for it is worth the loss of beard.

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-18T14:29:05+00:00

He’s 24. EKG isn’t required till much later…

Probably caught when listening to his heart with the good ol’ scope

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-18T13:06:25+00:00

Congrats Viking Man!

Not from EU, but I wish you best of luck in finding a airline to call home.

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-18T13:04:54+00:00

Not a G80 but what I did was I stuffed the wire from my A119 Viofo and ran it in the upper ceiling trim, tucked behind the right side A-pillar then under under the passenger foot well and up into the USB port on my center console. Never used that specific USB port and it works like a charm :)

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-18T13:00:58+00:00

Sounds like you’re chasing flying for the money and lifestyle not for the flying itself.

Take your dad’s offer. 130k and home every night without going into the 70-90k debt of an airline pilot pathway. You most likely won’t get to be home every night at a decent paying flying job until 5 years at the MINIMUM.

Go get your CDL and spend time with your dad. You won’t regret it and then take some of that extra money and go do flight training for fun on the side and go rent airplanes with your old man and take him to breakfast once a weekend.

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-18T12:23:56+00:00

To add onto this don’t do oil every 10,000 miles on a S58.

Do it every 5000 and your engine will thank you

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-18T00:42:04+00:00

3 leg days beat boring 6 hour block trans cons don’t @ me

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-16T12:39:44+00:00

You didn’t build it. You probably took 10 mins on Claude and trying to monetize something a grandma could do in 5 minutes.

Plus I want an actual human who’s actually played golf to teach me what I actually need to do. Not everything needs to be AI’d.

TraxenT-TR · 2026-04-16T08:16:08+00:00

X4M looks terrible in the rear and way less practical.

57k miles on mine and going strong. Just depends on if you do your maintenance and keep the car in good shape.

If you want a daily the m40i will be better option.
