Hey guys,

Also a contract question. Just had to go on STD for a medical. Should be back soon. What's the deal with currency? I couldn't find it in the PWA. How long before I have to go through training? I just turned into a pumpkin on takeoffs and landings.

Thanks!

Buzz,

Good luck - those STDs can be pesky!

See above..

3 take offs and landings, including cat II/III in 90 days. That's currency. If you don't maintain currency, you will need a checride, like recurrent, when you come back. Sounds like that's what you'll need. In your fleet page, pull up the training tab and look under normal requal, that will be your syllabus.

The cat 2/3 stuff is actually a 6 month currency item, but for training purposes the sim guys treat it as a 3 month item for two reasons, to make sure you get it and for FOs it counts as a landing since you are PM and required for the maneuver.

I know a Special forces medic who can take care of the STD and your flight surgeon will never know. Yeah, yeah, I know it's not an STD wink, and alcohol wasn't involved in Ferds post either....riiight.

buzz, sorry to hear about your std.

Hopefully it's the kind of STD penicillin will knock out. More importantly Mrs. Buzz doesn't find out.

Dude, thats a bummer!
Hope you're back soon, sans STD ;-)

After six months gone from flying airplanes (displaced to the MD88) I had to do a special requal, 2-day affair, to get back up to speed on the 73N.
Day 1 is insane, especially if you aren't paired up, Day 2 is much better, just a MV and LOA...

If you're out more than 12 months (and less than 36 months) its a normal requal, 5-7 days depending on being paired up or alone...

Cheers
George

George is prolly right about the syllabus you should be looking at, I didn't look it up. Anyway, it's the 2 day, like recurrent.

It goes without saying but newbs feel free to jump in and ask away!

This thread is pretty general, but the TOTD day thread is where you out the cheap skates that don't buy you beer!
