I can't believe A3F took ELP stalls out as a MIF item 5 years ago in the syllabus! What are solo students going to do when they stall doing a HAPL! The SSR demo isn't enough! Let's be honest, solo students were never expected to recover a forced landing and were restricted to where they could attempt it. This just took the reliability of the PT-6A and cut out the smoke and mirror. Sure it would be great to teach ELPs still, but production is a goal and that ASD can be reallocated to other items. With the increased ASD SPs are still getting very similar total hours but the focus has changed.

"Should" but not a reality. Gear up/auto pilot on with a decouple short final is a hell of an atrophy.

Oh boy, this argument again.

I know in 2013 hours waivers were being denied for the T-6. However, who knows in this climate, who knows.

Emergency landing pattern is what T-6s call SFOs. Then there are two types from that - Precautionary Emergency Landing (PEL) where you can use the motor and Simulated Forced Landing (SFL) either land or go around

1. It's a HUD repeater. 2. No idea, could a whole range of things from additional armor to where the nuclear rockets are stored.

Check sarcasm detector.

Toughest job in the AF, teaching people to fly in RCPs and talk while doing it.

Why would a MSG dude work more hours than he has to? Reasons like "patriotism" or "core values" ring hollow when he could be spending time with his family.

Cessna did have a replacement. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_526_CitationJet It lost to the T-6 in the JPATS competition. Potentially apocryphal rumor I heard was the Navy demanded a turboprop.

There is no requirement to self-incriminate.

"Maj. Gen. Andrew Toth, a fighter pilot who has flown hundreds of combat hours over Iraq, took command of the Air Force Personnel Center on Aug. 9." Hopefully this results in more transparency and less smoke and mirrors shoe clerkery. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2018/08/13/experienced-fighter-pilot-iraq-veteran-takes-command-at-afpc/

You mean HAF is doing a "review" after the AFI mandatory review/coordination A1 had to do in order to publish the new version? Aka: We've investigated ourselves and have found no evidence of wrong doing. Lip service because while this "review" goes on it's the letter of the law.

To HAF from the peons To HAF from the proletariat ”Where’s the money, Lebowski?”

As long as there's no TLN, AFPC probably won't know. Now the question is will commanders alert AFPC so they aren't operating in the gray.

Looking at PSDM, this alpha test seems to be a shiny penny small group try out, at least that's how all the rack and stack appeared to me.

FYI the CAF tracked studs did quasi-IFF in the T-6.

Because crew duties in the -1 says the PNF is there to get the ATIS and talk on the radios.

CAF heavy planes drop to T-38s. Some people are unlucky, some didn't do well enough.

Or you cheat on your wife to marry an millionaire heiress.

No because UPT you actually fly manned aircraft and are a real manned pilot.

Other than the lack of ELPs I think the new T-6 syllabus is better for T-38 bound SPs.

Better have a signed contract with some enforcement mechanism for that!

He may be an ART and have been in civilian status the majority of the time.
