You should like the Dornier 328!!!!!!!!!
That´s the best turbo prop ever build!!
I fly it, and I like it!!!!
Benjamin!
First there are ICAO codes and SITA codes! In the States they are almost the same! Like SFO id the SITA code for San Francisco and KSFO is the ICAO code! In Europe it´s different and more difficult, like everything in Europe! For example the ICAO code for Amsterdam Schipol is EHAM, and the SITA code...
Jump to postHi! I´m also a smoker! I smoke in the airplane, when we are on the ground, for a turn around! Sometimes I also smoke in the cockpit during flight! We just switch the reciculation fan off! I like it! So go aheaf and keep smoking! ( rach di nieda!!) Viele Grüße, Benjamin! (Arbeite auch bald in Wien)
Jump to postHave a nice time, if you visit Austria, be sure to visit me! And: Fly with my airline I work for!
Benjamin!
Like Ryu2 said, when flying on the equator or a line of longitude, there is no change in your heading, because in both cases the great circle (orthodrome) is the same as the loxodrome.The difference between the course of the beginning and the end course on a orthodrome is called convergency or conve...
Jump to postAfter 400 feet you can switch it on! You take off in a heading, T/O mode! Then the Vnav mode can either control speed or given altitudes in the FMS! For example. when in a descend to a specific point, lets call it ARTIP (that´s a IAF into Schipol AMS, Where you have to be at FL100 or below). You wri...
Jump to postDoes anybody know, where I can find Accidents or Inccidents reports?
Thank you for any help!
Benjamin!
good statement lainhol! It´s true, that you can get a job in Europe with as less as 300 hours TT, but the recruitment is very, very, very hard!!!!! Because there are so many people with CPL/IFR!! The airline can chose the very "best"! I took all my flight training in California and after that I took...
Jump to postDo you know where the term mach comes from?
Well it´s named after the Austrian physican Ernst Mach. who first made experiments with the speed of sound!
Benjamin! (from Austria!)
The Lear 31a I flew had a maximum service ceiling of 51000 feet, so depending on pressure it is a maximum of FL510! We took it only once up to FL510, but that´s not that much fun! You really should have a good reason of flying that high! Usually we flew it at FL470/460. But now I miss it flying all ...
Jump to postI was flying a Learjet 31a before! It´s true, what JET said. That´s one of the best things you can see! The sky above you is really dark.
Benjamin!
HI! For Austria there is a good reason for the registration! In german you don´t say Austria! It´s called Österreich. So I live in Österreich! So now, since in other languages there are no Ö,Ä, or Ü, you can also write instead of Ä AE for Ü UE and for Ö OE! See for Austria or in Österreich there´s a...

Jump to postCan you talk german, Oldman?
It´s a little mixed up. Here´s the correct version:
Ich nehme an, daß Sie ein wenig verwirrt sind, mein Freund!
Instead of daß you can write also dass!
Penso che, sei un po stupido, il mio amigo!
That´s the italian version! But my italian is not that good!
you are right! On our emergency drill we have in that case you set the altitude on the altitude selector to 10000 feet and you bring the conditionlevers full forward to maximum!! That means the aircraft is getting really loud, but it can descend at a very high rate, because the propellers are produc...
Jump to postOn most aircrafts you can turn the noseweel with the rudder pedals a little! on the Dornier 328 it´s 10 degrees to either side. The Learjet 31a I flew had no tiller, but his nosewheel steering was powered by hydraulic power, and it was almost impossible to taxi the aircraft smoth! When you bring up ...
Jump to postHi Jetpilot! Sorry, when I was a little angry about you, but I just had a bad day! All in all, I think that you are a nice guy, and your posts are really funny to read! Sorry I couldn´t take it up with you, but in english it´s not that easy to find the right words. What is everybody else thinking ab...
Jump to postHi!
In my company they are turned on as soon as you enter an active runway. They atay usully on the whole flight. We switch them off in clouds though, because it could irritade other airplane and its blinding yourself.
Benjamin!
Hi! I think I´ve seen that airplane when I flew to Hamburg HAM. The one I saw was from Iran Air!
You want to know what the pilot looks for? Well, that depends on what you are doing or on how you do it. If you fly with autopilot off or with it on or if you fly an CATII app,. Usually you get radar vectors to the ILS. So you are on the Heading Mode on the flight director. If you get the final inte...
Jump to postAerokid, you mixed something up! You don´t fly the ILS with an RMI! The RMI has 2 needles 1 for ADF 1 for VOR and its almost the same as an normal ADF inicator just it has the VOR needle wich acts the same like the ADF needle just points to the station and the whole heading part is turning like on t...
Jump to postI´m from Austria! Any help for you?
If yes, let me know!
Benjamin!
The early jets flew from navaid to navaid, and if the flew on an "selfmade" track they had to plot their position! Here in Europe, at least in Austria and Germany, you still have to learn plotting when you take your ATPL. On long range flights they had an IRS. Today we don´t have an IRS but an INS! ...
Jump to postLike JETPILOT said, we just reduce power as much that we have the desired airspeed and rate of descend!
In my airplane the Dornier 328 you reduce power on initial descend only to about 45% tourque.
In a Jet it´s different though!
Benjamin!
Correct, that was a Gulfstream! <br><center><a href="/open.file?id=131199" target="_blank"><font color="#EEEEEE" size="1" face="ARIAL, Helvetica, Geneva">Click for large version<br><IMG SRC="/photos/small/d/dec26-11.gif" ALT="Click here for full size photo!" border="0" width="200" height="130"></a><...

But I´m happy, that it works now again!
For what do you want to class a stopway as a clearway?
That wouldn´t make sense! You always want to have a stopway!
Well, there have been 3 posts almost at the same time!
I was the last!
Well, actually the De-icing liquid doesnt melt the ice! That´s the hot water! So first or at the same time, depends, you spray hot water on the airplane and then the liquid mostly Hoest 1704 type1 comse on! The liquid is over the whole surface now! And it stays there and prevents other ice to cover ...

Jump to postWell, Mcomess that´s not all corect, you said there. On High altitude charts there are no MEA printed down.

Jump to postYeah, The Dornier Jet but also the Turbo prop rocks!! I fly on both the 328 prop and jet! It´s a common type rating. So you have to make the simulator check not on both airplanes. You change every check, wich is every 6 months! Go to Europe! There are some of the Dornier Jets! Sincerly, Benjamin!
