So I have been thinking about getting a new rating and doing some additional training of my own on the side. Normally I don't delve into other areas but I recently heard an Aero-cast (podcast) by Bob Miller of Bob Miller Flight Training. He was discussing how the idea of a 40 hour Private Pilot is not a valid concept in this day and age, and I agree. Every flight training school I have ever

I was reading the FAA Safety Briefing and it was talking about weather. From departure, enroute, and arrival weather to even diversion weather. There is a huge mark especially on GA pilots for flying into and around IMC when they should have just turned around. This can be abundantly clear sometimes, and sometimes even for freight drivers it’s hard to understand why the flight didn’t land

In this time of national morning and remembrance. Please as a pilot community and as a citizen of the United States of America remember that the freedoms that we have were won with the blood and sweat of those before us. I will never forget where I was, what I was doing, and who I talked to that day. Will you?NEVER FORGET!

Recently at my company pilots have found the same ways to an age old question. How did you fail your recurrent checkride? I have talked to a couple of people and it seems that pilots are now fail basic navigation. When I say basic I mean navigating to or from a VOR (click here). This is basic navigation when it comes to instrument training. In fact if a student doesn't understand VOR

Thanks to the large area of high pressuring moving from Canada into the US over the past couple of days I thought it would be appropriate to talk about an informal guide to icing.A pilot must, when in or around forecast, anticipated, or reported icing, respect the icing. If you do not respect it, it will come back to bite you hard!Make sure that you have the proper icing protection. If that is

Well, it's been awhile. Actually I have been doing fairly well. I have been working a bunch. Usual 70+ hours per week and while I have been working my normal hours and in fact took my first real vacation. Guess what I did....nothing. In fact most of the time I was off I spent relaxing at home. It was extremely nice. Especially after over a year and a half of getting up before the sun and

Recently I have noticed a comment that I have seen in previous places. I search a few forums so that I keep abreast of what is going on in the industry. This same user name has popped up before in a certain part of the forum.

Recently my company updated their HAZMAT training so now I have to spend one day this weekend completing the training so that Monday when I come back to work I will be able to carry more Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT). I don't know which yet because I have yet to complete the training. No rest for the weak, push on for higher and better things.I have recently been reading a lot about the accident

Recently, I have been noticing that when I am on just about all forms of communication I see more and more of my aviation training coming through. I will be on the phone with some random business and I will start talking in shorter sentences. I am not saying that what I am doing is right but I think I need to get out more and spend more time away from flying. Oh well, just a short clip today.

Alright, since I have finally thawed out from some of the snow that has fallen and there is still at least 6 inches of snow on the ground at home it's time to talk about flying through the white stuff.Usually I would start talking about how much I love flying IFR and that is true but there are some times when flying through all this stuff is just plane (pun intended) wrong...On the day the snow

Since I haven't posted in quite awhile I was going to discuss the winter weather that I have deal with this winter so far but it just doesn't seem appropriate today. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of Flight 3407. If you wish you can listen to the last transmissions from Colgan at LiveATC.net. Login to the message forums and you can hear the transmissions from the doomed flight.

So, it has been over a week but much has happened in the world of aviation. First off, the "Miracle on the Hudson" where an Airbus A320 glided to the Hudson River after a MASSIVE bird strike upon departure out of LGA scheduled to CLT. What an amazing pilot. I am truly in awe of a pilot that can take a situation such as this and save so many lives while maintaining the professionalism that not

I haven't posted recently due to the fact that it has been cold and I have been pretty tired. When you wake up at 0330 hrs. everyday and go into work it tends to be a long day. Thankfully I sit in a spot where the local FBO has provided me with a small room with TV so that I can relax and even take a nap. Yes, I am getting paid to take a nap down here. I try to get a few hours of sleep so

This time for year for a freight pilot is not too terribly different from any other time of year. The reason being is that freight never stops. When I say it never stops that is because someone will always need to get freight from one spot to the next. I enjoy freight because the boxes don't complain about how they are being treated, how they are getting bounced around, and how they feel upset

Usually you will not see me post over the weekend because I am not usually working. But today I passed another FAR Part 135 recurrent checkride. Now realize that I passed my last checkride in July and FAR Part 135 states that I can do anywere from December through Feburary to complete my recurrent checkride. It was nice to get it done early, even though it lasted almost 2 hours of flying time.

I was reading the blogs by The Aviation Mentor and Get the Flick. Two fine articles about how ATC interacts with pilots in the National Airspace System. I knew that I would not be able to respond to The Aviation Mentor in enough space similar to his blog so here I write.If I had the unlimited paycheck to buy whatever was needed for the ATC controllers as of late I would do these things.All

So for the fist time since July I will be flying over the weekend on purpose. I get to reposition that aircraft that had the alternator break on it and now will be heading out with another pilot just to make sure that I can get the airplane back. It's a weird feeling to know that I will be flying over this weekend. I know people that fly just about every weekend and I used to do the same thing

Many times I get asked the question of which airline to I work for once I let them know that I am a pilot. Just as often as I tell them I am a pilot, I let them know that I work for a small cargo company that flies in the Midwest and Southern US. The problem is that many people believe that the only professional pilots that are living are the ones flying for companies such at American Airlines,

The worst crosswind landing I have experienced was last year. I was flying into KSGF when I heard the weather report of KSGF Wind 190 at 28 gusts 35 knots. Now, if you checked out the webpage you noticed that Springfield has two runways, 2-20 and 14-32. The problem was that runway 2-20 was OTS because they were building the new terminal on the southside of the airport. So there goes runway 20

I use an electronic logbook program so as to make my life easier when I fill out some FAA and company forms(FAA 8710-1). I was looking at the hours by year and found out that I can export an image for all to see.As you can see I have been flying for over 10 years. Feels kind of funny being that I am under 30.

I truly enjoy flying in the winter. Why? Because the aircraft performs like it's on steroids and some of the best winds aloft are during the winter. In fact I had a tailwind of about 40 knots this morning flying. That translated into a ground speed (GS) of about 210 knots. That's the nice part. When I looked at the Outside Air Temp (OAT) gauge it read -12°C (or about 10°F). The heater in

Every now and again a plane brakes. I know I know, people don't understand how frequently they may brake but this time the pilot was reporting smoke in the cockpit and a lost of the primary alternator. I say primary because we carry two just in case, it's a regulation to carry two of them. The second one does not need to be as beefy as the first one but it has to be able to support some kind

So today I showed up for work and I knew that I would be flying a C210 again. That is not the problem. Where I depart my company spaces out our departures by about 30 minutes. So the first departure is about 4:00 AM, then 4:30 AM, 5:00 AM, then myself at 6:00 AM followed by one last morning departure at 6:30 AM.So the first two flights get off fine. I showed up to work 15 minutes late because of

So today for the third time in as many recent weeks I am flying a C210. It's not that the C210 is a bad airplane it's just that I am going to take 30 more minutes than usual to get home. That's what a 30 knot headwind will do. In fact, I am only going to go up to 4,000 because it decreases the amount of time by five minutes. I am just enjoying looking at the ground, whether it's dark or not

Last time we left, we had just discussed the five different sections of the IAP chart. Now that we have that out of the way I am going to talk about setting up the aircraft for the IAP. Again I am going to refer to the IAP ILS or LOC RWY 17 (KPNS). If you notice in the Pilot Briefing section of the chart you will find the frequency for the electronic navigation to the runway.

For the second time, in as many days, I have had to execute an ILS approach to minimums. Today it was even bad enough that I actually had to hold, or fly a racetrack patterns, until the visibility came back up! I was flying a race track similar to this.Basically I am flying in a specific amount of airspace and there are aircraft above, and sometimes below me that are in the same place that I am

AS ALWAYS DO NOT USE ANY CHARTS FOR NAVIGATION! So today I was flying into my only other airport besides my departure airport and I knew before I departed that I could have a chance to either divert or hold for a very long time. When I say very long time I mean, I have four hours worth of gas when I depart and it only takes about 1.5 hours to get to my destination. This means that I have about

So what is TKS? TKS stands for, well, I am working on that. TKS is an anti and de-icing system. It pushes a glycol based product out of specially drilled wing leading edges. If you want to really see what the system is go to one of these websites. www.flightice.com or www.weepingwings.com My company had the install done by Flight Ice, Inc.TKS is a great system. Period. I flew a C210 during

While I may be a freight pilot I also want and desire to fly up in the flight levels. I was outside waiting for my cargo today and saw a jet leaving contrails. I think the contrails should be the best form of flattery in aviation. The reason is due to the fact that contrails tell you but one thing. Besides all the science, this is where I am, this is where I was but I shouldn't pay attention

I know that some of you looked at the title and said, "Great now what?!" But think of this as what a Baron freight pilot would like ATC to tell them during the approach phase of the flight. If I am running late, usually toward the afternoon, I want to get there quickly. I know, everybody and there brother want to make up time. Well, I file most of my IFR flight plans RADAR VECTORS DIRECT.

Currently I not only fly for a Part 135 Freight company but I am a current member of the National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI). Currently many things are amiss with the organization and we need a new Board of Directors! As a member the only benefit is that you get to watch the board elect anybody they so choose and they have and probably will continue. As a full member, I am not a

I was rushing to get further along on part 2 of how to fly an ILS when I realized that I definitely was not taking my time. It may not come out this week but I will get it out as soon as I can but I am going to take the time and get it right. It may not be totally perfect but I need to do a little better with the images and such. I may post something later today about other stuff but the ILS

Editors Note: Had to do the ILS 17 at PNS at a shout out to the the Flying Penguin. Wish I was in FL soaking up the sun.At air airport when the weather get to back for me to see the airport with my eyes some have an Instrument Landing System (ILS). The ILS is a set of antenna that is set to a certain frequency that I can tune the Navigation Radios to and see the electronic approach to the runway

You have to understand from the title and what the weather is like in the Midwest today that one of the few things that I get excited about while flying cargo is shooting approaches. Today, so far I have one ILS and did fairly well. I had a problem with approach a few days back because they kept giving me speed changes from 170 to 150, then 160, then asked if I had the aircraft in front of me

I was flying this morning and had to turn the storbes off because they would have spatially disorientated me. So I am flying and if the strobes aren't blinking "here I am" the rotating beacon. Seen here on the very tip of the tail. Flying at 7,000 feet, hehe, I have only the light of the rotating beacon flashing on the wings. I turn down the instrument lighting, yes the airplane has that

So I did a ZME (ARTCC) tour today. I had the time. I must say, definite props to those who work there. I was amazed at the screen obviously. I always think that they work magic on such clutter. Then again my flight definately does a number running through those lines (sector lines). I wonder if the FAA will ever change the sector lines to be more approiate to GPS direct routing. Probably

Ok, so I have wanted to put together a view of the States within the US that I have visited to this point. My chances of things changing anytime soon are relatively, well that's not true, just downright nil. So here is an image of all those states that I have been as a pilot.Although it doesn't seem like it I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 2300 hours with over 500 multiengine. Cheers!

So normally I will have something that I want to talk about prior to starting a blog but in this case I don't. The reason that I started this today is because I have been reading quite a lot of ATC and other blog sites today. This usually makes me think about how much more I would enjoy flying a turboprop or something that can go more than 200 KIAS, I do enjoy hearing that ATC has bad days too.

I have to say. After flying for about a year, yes that is one full year where I am working somewhere between 12 to 14 hours ON DUTY. I am pretty used to it. I work usually 13.5 hours per day five days a week. Now don't get me wrong. I would love to work a 9 to 5 job, but for what I am doing, I would rather work 14 hour plus duty days and then go home than let me have more time to spend money.

Ok, so if I am a Part 135 freight pilot then you can guess that I have couriers. For the most part couriers are just like the pilot, wants to go to work, get work done, and go home. Then again you have those that don't totally conform to that. One of the biggest type of couriers that do not conform to this are the talkers. I have a courier where is sit everyday and rarely uses his civil right

To begin this blog I wish to let everyone know that I am a Part 135 freight pilot that flies for about 2.5 to 3 hours per day with a duty day near 14 hours. Yes it's long, yes it can get really really boring but...it pays well and I am working for a smaller Part 135 outfit that bases in the southeast United States but I am in the Midwest! I look forward to talking about many things aviation and
