Air Force Looking Into Pilot Training Changes To Curb Accidents
Whatever happened to ADRWHOS? You don't have to really verify the distances anymore with the new 202V3 either. Load, Activate, and follow the magenta line.

The SPO never certified it for LPV or L/VNAV. They just stopped caring as soon as the TCTO was complete.

Air Force Looking Into Pilot Training Changes To Curb Accidents
From what I've heard the H-1 is running into problems right now because the SPO never "certified" the GNS-530 for any RNAV criteria so they're in a kind of limbo where they can do RNAV approaches but don't have an RNAV/RNP cerfication.

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Just read it. Big old nope for me. The AF values rotary wing 11Hs as much as a fuckin' Nav or ABM.

What's worse the T-II mafia, the Mafia, or a Nav?

Raise Taxes, Fire up the Draft.
The issue is that there isn't a lot of infrastructure labor that isn't skilled in some sort of way. We don't need paths cleared through the mountains, we need major civil engineering work.

I got the second Pfizer dose Thursday. Yesterday I was achy but it was nothing that some Motrin didn't ease.

DoD Dine Smart Traveler Rewards
I try my GTC once for lodging and if it doesn't work then I use my personal card. I also found out that adding a loyalty program to DTS may automatically book a hotel or rental car using the personal card on file with the company. It's not on my to tell SATO how to book a reservation so I never bring it up and get the points.

ACSC OLMP?
I second everything here. I was able to knock out 1-2 self paced classes per day when I was teleworking. Far superior to the AU setup where I would finish a class in a couple hours and wait a week for AU to update and allow me to start another class.

So 1980s Fulda Gap Part II. The lack of realistic chance of success for PR in a Western Europe scenario was what kneecapped Rescue until nearly 2000. Even in ALLIED FORCE they sent AFSOC rather than the CAF units because the defensive system consisted of an ALQ and a chaff bucket.- B-21 Raider
FE Warren and Malmstrom are regularly above 5K DA. The KPP point for performance was FEW in the summertime (6K MSL, 35C).- Concept aircraft
The planning cruise speed for the HH-60G is 110 KIAS. There's no way it's getting to 160 with all of the parasite drag hanging off of it without a huge tailwind or being in a dive.- Concept aircraft
Just make it out of wood like the AN-2 and it'll be undetectable on radar /s.- B-21 Raider
Range time isn't the reason they're behind the timeline. I think the plan is to use the Rucker LZs as of now but now you have zero high DA training. There is no way that the Eglin ranges could support another customer and it's 100+ miles each way.- B-21 Raider
1. Yes a lot of politics 2. Kirtland is far better. There really aren’t any training areas or ranges near Maxwell that will further reduce the training quality. The only thing that Maxwell has is a little used runway. This further reduces the number of good assignments for the “Huey” as Yokota is most likely going away as well. - Concept aircraft
