oh my god. it's like lowing and jaekus switched spots in this thread.
im gonna tell my pilots tomorrow to go fly thru thunderstorms since its ok.
oh and whats funny is if your radar is not working you cannot even fly near forecasted convective activity let alone actual activity. meh ill just tell them to ignore that also.

I don't think that's a sensible idea, 11B.
now now children
i wonder if the pilots set the autopilot and went to sleep like their American brothers did a few years ago (North West i believe). I do not believe the Airbus has automatic weather avoidance but as has been said it does have radar to help them fly around/over the storms. (My brother is captain on A320s so i will ask him). However you can't avoid storms if you are asleep.

The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'
i doubt they were sleeping since it was not that long into the flight. and no there is no auto wx avoidanceStubbee wrote:

actually when it gets really bad the computer runs and hides
marine have you ever flown those big planes?
nope. no more than those 50 passenger regional jets. however my job requires me by law to fly in the flight deck every year for a certain amount of time.13/f/taiwan wrote:

i really want to fly those big planes. does it require much training?
dont troll me
go ask Ioan

Depends, if you only want to learn how to take off but not land its not too much.13/f/taiwan wrote:

Ask for that program when you sign up.
Fuck Israel
dont bother, it would appear by his silence and absence that jake did some googling and found out he is dead wrong.Stubbee wrote:

That, or he is off looking up the "definition" of thunderstorm, for his next insult.

you know i actually know the guy who turned that guy in...our simulator is in the same building.Dilbert_X wrote:

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
nah i'm not trolling. it's on my super bucket list(things i want to do but probably won't be able to afford).
look up a local simulator a lot of times you can buy time in one. Level D simulators are so realistic they can be logged as actual flight time.13/f/taiwan wrote:

I was a run up and taxi instructor at my old job, got a lot of sim time and yes if the pilots ate the fish, I could land it

its expensive for sure....and the industry is so fucked up its pretty much not worth it. but, if its something you want to do then just do it. ive worked one job outside of aviation and it sucked. i mean the job was fine but i was miserable not being in aviation.13/f/taiwan wrote:

edit: i just paid off all the credit cards i used to live on while in flight school.....and that was 11 years ago

cant believe how much a private pilot license is now. I spent 3200.00 for mine in '93. Now it is close to 10 grand11 Bravo wrote:

i could've gotten mine for around $1500 + books and random materials, until health problems arose. BOCES ftw

General Rules
For any flight that is even potentially near actual or possible thunderstorm activity, pilots should observe the following rules:
Avoid all thunderstorms.
Never go closer than five miles to any visible storm cloud with overhanging areas, and strongly consider increasing that distance to 20 miles or more. You can encounter hail and violent turbulence anywhere within 20 miles of very strong thunderstorms.
Do not attempt flight beneath thunderstorms, even when visibility is good, because of the destructive potential of shear turbulence in these areas.
At the first sign of turbulence, reduce airspeed immediately to the manufacturer's recommended airspeed for turbulent air penetration for a specific gross weight (i.e., maneuvering speed, or Va).
If there is an inadvertent penetration of the thunderstorm, maintain a straight and level altitude on a heading that will take you through the storm area in the minimum time.
Never let compulsion take the place of good judgment.
you did not fly into "several thunderstorms"
anyway, just thought I would add some salt to the wound.
truly sorry to hear that... Flying is a great joy, I really need to find time and money to get back into it.Poseidon wrote:

I am just a private pilot, so I never went up when storms were around. However the worst that did happen to me ( other than getting lost on my long cross country) was taking off in haze. I was fine until my return leg into the sun. Was like turning on high beams in fog.. I was definitely below VFR minimums for 3 mile vis. and could really only see the ground just in front and below me, had to do flight following until I could see the airport( a local non controlled field)11 Bravo wrote:

Scared me pretty good
well that was the good thing about training in florida.
hey look...disneyworld...wow...
look up...oh fuck where did this shit come from.
makes you understand and respect that shit very early in your career.

What sorts of planes do you fly 11B?
