@pilot_DeX @ByERussell @WashProbs It’s not the arrival, it is the departure with an engine failure at V1 where the clear gradient matters.

@upandafter @MCCCANM Looks to me like a Wasson Micah. Nice strap!

@HouseChambers @MCCCANM Well, he DID do a NORDO approach and landing into DCA in his Gulfstream II after a near-total electrical failure…

@aniemyer @MCCCANM @johnkonrad And an observer, right? 😎

No pilot that is employed as a pilot by a certificate holder conducting flag operations may do any other commercial flying if that commercial flying plus his flying in air transportation will exceed any flight time limitation in this part

@MCCCANM I know this was not a retiring Captain, but could you imagine, 35 years at an airline, never dinged an inch of metal, and on your retirement “salute”…😳

@BartGonnissen @Glenn_Diesen I’m an aviation guy…Great to be following you to get the unvarnished facts re maritime issues! 👏

@MCCCANM @Fudmottin Spirit didn’t own any of their jets. The leasing companies did. @SteveNomadic would have a better handle on where the jets may be going, but going most of them will be! Anywhere in the world. Sure, engines off of some too!

@MCCCANM I was based at a hangar for a while that also had a based King Air 200. The company had gone through a merger, and the two pilots that were “thrown together” spoke to each other only in the cockpit. Otherwise, they did not get along AT ALL. 😳

@ncbrit8 @MCCCANM EDCT is an Expect Departure Clearance Time. It’s the time you can expect to be cleared for takeoff, usually due to an ATC program. Without an EDCT (pronounced “edict”) we can be cleared to taxi all the way to the runway and receive our takeoff clearance when WE are ready.

@TTJonz @MCCCANM Expect Departure Clearance Time.

@OnDisasters @InfantryPilot @Keg767 @ChemtrailerWino @not_airspeed Indeed! If, after 30 seconds, they’d have set cruise power and LET GO of the sidestick, everyone on that plane would have lived. So sad.

[Steve 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 @stjets]

@OnDisasters @InfantryPilot @Keg767 @ChemtrailerWino @not_airspeed And the pitot heaters did not “fail”. They couldn’t melt the amount of ice that accumulated fast enough. The pitot system was clear of ice and functioning as designed 30-45 seconds after the initial blockage. After that point, it was all the crew actions and system design. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@Sdhorr77 @deekayzomb @holisticgrenade @Thetruth1460891 All human history…HaHa! The average human didn’t live beyond 35 years of age! You wanna go back to that? 🤦🏻‍♂️

@N_athan10 @gantry_the1991 @JMRaasch They never mid-air refuel with the President onboard.

[Steve 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 @stjets]

@RJW78NL @JackieT31726215 @N_athan10 @gantry_the1991 @JMRaasch Never.

[Steve 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 @stjets]

@JackieT31726215 @N_athan10 @gantry_the1991 @JMRaasch This model 747 does.

@PilotLiberator @DougGollan He wouldn’t HAVE to fire you if you DIDN’T stop for fuel…😳😏
