ATPL licence

[esp803]

Don't forget to keep full forward on the yoke during the downwind slide, it's just like when you have a tail wind taxiing a wheeled airplane.

Hey Laser, you gotta be 18 to hold an ATPL anyway...no getting around that, so don't worry about the hours until you can at least have a beer in Quebec.

what's the most effective technique to get a float plane off the step after landing and the best way to land (a float plane) on a gusty windy day.

Oh Ya -- increase the time requirement for an ATP and also include a type rating over 12500 lb before one can qualify and further ATP to sit right seat for anything over 100,000 lb.

In what way is Airbus already half there?


Can you be a bit more specific?

As in they already have tray tables in the cockpit, and no yolks.  So by my math, that is half way to

Why have pilots in the big jets at all? Those could be revenue seats. Kind of an elite area like first class. Take the yokes out. Replace them with trays voila.

Now you just need to take the pilots out, and you're all the way there.  Maybe just have the FA brief the elite passengers to push the "takeoff" button when everyone was ready to go, and then hit the "landing" button when they get to their destination.  That covers it all, right?

Now that is an oxymoron statement - I thought the object of today's standards is doing less for a lot more money. Don't forget, people on a forum are usually either passionate about aviation or at the other end trolls. Most of the other career pilots out their could give a fuck - it's about time off and pay cheque. So bring on the push buttons and bunks and alarm clocks but don't touch my fucking pay cheque and give me 24 GDO's a month  -- lmfaooooooo

TC recently went the other way ... right seat time used
to count for half, so 2500TT was what was needed for
an ATPL for a Cinderella story - now 1500TT.

FAA just did that, effective last summer.

Exactly what the FAA now requires for part 121.
This is more relevant to regionals than mainline.
Some of the biggest jungle jets might be over
100,000 lbs at takeoff.

Exactly Colonel -- they woke up down there and passed a bunch of regs that made a lot of sense. Going from where they were just 5 or 6 years ago and actually requiring F/O's to be actually type rated, dealing with FDT's and licensing has been an amazing amout of legislation in a very short time. Canada should grow a set.
