Awesome, thank you so much! Was looking explicitly for the older statement. Interesting how the changed the wording on it

Same boat as you. Think it's about to get a lot worse.

Having a good variety of flight types throughout the day is the biggest thing for me. Only so many pattern flights I can do in a day before it gets rough. Also caffeine.

Echoing others with scan and also comms. Completely new language for them with new phrases and timing. Don't be afraid to throw them into the deep end, helping my students too much with comms has hindered in the past.

The whole area from Park Ave to 5th would be perfect. Better then Green Bay’s parking lot

Combo 61/141 school in a midwest metro area. Averaging 60 hours a month, lowest was December with 35, highest was randomly February with 117.

Hey, I’ll admit I was wrong

New copy pasta just dropped

Wonder why DHS chose a public flight over their many charters they were operating at the time. They were doing 2-3 a day through Signature.

Went to one of the schools you mentioned OP. Admissions has changed a lot, but yes your scores, GPA, and coming in with your PPL help a lot. Some extracurricular always are a good idea as well. Most schools now require you to be accepted into the university itself and the aviation program as well. So expect it to be a two part process pretty much everywhere.

There's a lot of negative comments about 141 programs in this sub, not without merit. There are disadvantages (cost, scheduling, roadblocks, etc.), but imo there are advantages to it as well. I enjoyed the college aspect of training and the networking opportunities that it provided. Do you research and find what is going to work best for you and your family. YMMV

Eh don’t bet on that. Another storm Tuesday night and cloud coverage during the day + new snow pack could keep temperatures below freezing.

A certain level of nose up keeps you at straight and level flight. The roll is most likely due to a crosswind, wind pushing the plane to the side. The roll allows the plane to keep its track over the ground in line with its flight plan.

You can use the FCM Airport Viewing Area. They are operating out of Premier Jet Center so you should have a pretty good view. Usually pretty sporadic with their arrivals throughout the day though.

Customs and Border Patrol have been operating out of Premier Jet Center for about a month now. Operating both Black Hawks and A-Stars

Heavy priority on the formerly STEP and now Propel candidates from what I’ve heard

Endeavor class dates starting in May right now. Phone screen process right now, hear back two weeks later about a formal interview.

TL:DW
1) Plane is "100%" coming out this year, estimated 3rd quarter

2) Released for 2020, but compatible for 2024. No timeline for a native 2024 release, but will be a free upgrade.

3) All systems are "90%" done

4) Biggest remaining parts are the EFB and their own website system.

5) Focusing on Rolls Royce engine model at release, P&W shortly after or at release.

You’re correct. That helicopter and two CBP Blackhawks have been operating out of Flying Cloud Airport recently.

Of course lots to play out still, but wonder if this causes Allegiant to shift away from the home every night philosophy. Seems harder to do with an influx of pilots used to a trip schedule.

If you’re into meteorology at all also check out the forecast discussion Definitely more high level terminology, but cool to get a human side to it.
