The 217 isn’t gone. It is just one pub with the 202 because it is a digital pub. Stall recovery should be a per airframe procedure. Sadly, most AF simulators can’t accurately reproduce a stall. It is a pretty big upgrade for civilian sims from what I’ve heard.

Atlas 767 (Amazon livery) Down
For clarity: AF stall/upset training is largely unchanged and only good for small aircraft like our trainers. Maybe our fighters, I don’t know I don’t fly them. FAA AC 120-109 and AC 120-111 are the changes to which I was referring. If you’ve gone through an enhanced stall/upset recovery syllabus it is eye opening. Executive summary: “max relax roll” and minimizing altitude loss in most large aircraft is not the best way to recover.

Stall/upset training has recently changed for the better. We are way behind on it in the AF for big jets. We teach great stall recovery for small trainers though!

The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
I haven’t read the whole thread but the use of OCPs is to sell the narrative that the Democrat-controlled cities are “war zones.” Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Do you think your MWS affects career opportunities/progression?
MAJCOM matters more than MWS. If you wind up in AMC you can plan on at least a 10% lower chance of promotion to O-5 than any other MAJCOM. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I thought there was a phase out date in the uniform reg but the last time I looked it was only the ABU phase out. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

While it isn’t a waiver the RTFS process for post-COVID is not good or easy.
