  1. 1500 hour rule is the wrong way to regulate. All those regional jet crashes were much higher time experienced pilots making bad mistakes that a 250 hour pilot should be making. So what does that say about regional flying then? Probably that it drains you of your senses and the only real flying you do barring an irregularity or emergency is a minute into takeoff and a minute to landing while Auto does the rest.


  2. From the academy they go into cruise officer positions, basically they sit in the jump seat on takeoff and landing, and in the captain or fo chair while the airplane sits through a boring cruise where something usually does not go wrong. Although some news of the AF disaster out of Brazil show that maybe that is not such a good idea after all. But you can be very young and technically assigned to a 747 but you will never fly below cruising level. Then after a year or 2 of that, you go down to be a first officer on a smaller airplane like a A320 or 737 to get real flying experience. All it takes is money and connections and you can get into the prestigious academies of Cathay or Singapore, KLM, etc.But it is a long road ahead either way, could be 10 years of hard work before you actually can sit in the right seat of a large airplane from training to job.

    I'm sure he'd have significant difficulty trying to teach himself how to fly. Any good CFI won't let the fact that the student owns the airplane appreciably affect the lesson.Paul
    I really don't think actually being a CFI and flying low time jobs as work experience and time building can be replicated just by jetting around in your own new airplane with a CFI once in a while on your right.The best way to learn how to be a good pilot the right way is to time build until you can get hired by Ameriflight, Air Cargo Carriers, or other small operators. Or if you have the money why not go to ERAU instead of just buying an airplane. And are you really a check airman? I would say putting professional titles in your user name and then trying to not claim to be that type of person is disingenuous as well.

  3. Don`t worry Im not pretending, I would have terrible advise if I said I was a real airline pilot. Anyway Im not to worried right now about not becoming an airline pilot. I have lots of things planned and a "backup plan" if things don`t go the right way. Anyway coincidentally my dad was planning on retirement from his job and said he would buy me a light plane so I could build up hours. So nice of him Im ashamed on what I got him for fathers day :(Well that should go well and I have plans for what flight school I want to go to and what universities to go to
    If you aren't pretending then why did you call yourself captainklm? And your dad buying you an airplane? That's the worst way to learn how to fly

  4. A "niche" mil product like the VRS F/A18E sells for less and it surpasses all other developers in terms of offering excellent FDE, system modeling, VC quality, FPS performance, and true innovation (collimated HUD, NAVFLIR). I'd say the F/A18 is underpriced...
    A fighter jet as popular as an F-18 compared to a boring old cargo jet without any offensive weapons? Not to mention it was so deep systems wise that it appealed to casual simmers to learn how to fly a fighter just like Maverick.

  5. I used to get CTD's all the timeI fixed them by rebuilding my fsx.cfg file, not using bufferpools, not locking my framerates, and not using multisampling in the Nvidia settings.I also got rid of the texturemaxload line, the more stock the fsx cfg file the better


  6. The problem wasn't out of trim for the most part, it was that most joysticks by default don't have a big enough deadzone, and this airplane would refuse to engage the ap and would disengage just if your joystick was not set in the exact center.
