Forget semantics. Stay away from "What percent of T-38 guys have a private/instrument/commercial/aerobatic/balloon ticket and were valedictorians of their high school?" There's one way to guarantee T-38s and the plane you want...finish first in your class. UPT is designed to teach you how to be a pilot assuming zero previous experience. Any edge anyone has quickly disappears after you start learning how to fly in the military. Sometimes advanced ratings can be a hinderance in that you may have developed bad habits patterns in the civilians world. Work hard and don't worry about it. HD

No, I mean J. It changes per unit. A-code is the only one that doesn't. HD

Sometimes on missions with two ACs, you'll A-code one and J-code the other. This allows the other guy to be in command when necessary. PIC time isn't really logged on the 781. Primary and secondary only deal with who's flying the plane. Here's some info from 11-401: 3.4.1.2. For pilots, primary time is time actively controlling the aircraft excluding hands-on-time flown while instructing and evaluating (log such time under instructor or evaluator). It is not predicated on which set of controls is being used (multi-place aircraft), or on the duty position indicated on the flight authorization. Pilots receiving instruction while controlling the aircraft will log primary time. 3.4.2. Secondary Flight Time : Flight time logged by a crew member who is performing inflight duties related to the crewmember’s specialty, but who is not controlling the function of that specialty. Except as listed below, the total secondary time logged in each specialty may not exceed the total flight time. When in excess to the crew complement, a remark will be placed in the remarks of the AFTO Form 781 depicting the secondary duties performed by additional aircrew. That's why most people just split it. It's your job to figure out your PIC time for an airline application. Basically, just keep track of your total flight time where you were in command. Keep an FAA logbook to track it. Fly what you can, log what you need. HD [ 06. October 2006, 09:17: Message edited by: HerkDerka ]

I can just hear their battle cry now: "Leeroooooy Jeeeeeeeenkins!" HD

The tradeoff being you get points for yours. HD

Standard barney ops? HD

I'm confused, you where talking about the RAF Budda kneeling down and taking a blackhawk in the ass right? HD [ 01. October 2006, 00:26: Message edited by: HerkDerka ]

Ch 19 will give you a little info on equipment, but it's mostly procedures. Appendix A of FAR part 91 also has a min aicraft equipment listing. Try looking around the FARs a little but. HD [ 20. September 2006, 20:17: Message edited by: HerkDerka ]

Don't forget Chinchilla Breeder. HD

I don't exactly see using the throttles as an SA problem. That's just the basics of flying an airplane. Or you could hand fly it. I still can't believe it when I hear the words "tac descent" and "autopilot" in the same sentence. HD

Be careful, Karate Kid is supposed to hit the theaters in Enid next month. HD

Mmmmmmm....Ambien challenge. HD

It's funny to look at McPeak with his mustache and navy zipper. Irony sucks. HD

Good point. It all stems from two things: 1) The Vietnam generation has long since retired 2) Making shoe clerks generals HD

I couldn't have said it better. HD

Welcome to the suck. HD

Oh man. Thanks Hydro. The Turdinator and the Dookie Monster will never stop being funny. HD

You can take leave at Corpus. The Navy doesn't freak out over students taking leave like AETC does. HD

I wouldn't be surprised at all if she went AWOL. The whole story smacks of it. HD

I wouldn't exactly call that a loss. He'll have to wait a few more days to passionately stroke those *****in' mutton chops she's got going on. HD

The lesson learned here: Don't write letters, talk on the phone, send emails, or post drunk. HD

Ummm yeah. That doesn't exactly work in UPT towns. Sleepy, here's the short list: -Retarded dolphin rehabilitation -Blimp mechanic -ICBM pilot -Offshore oil driller -Key grip for indie films -Free clinic podiatrist -Single "A" baseball umpire HD

Awesome statement. HD

Not to mention how she easily found the address she was supposed to go to in a foreign land. HD
