Was this before or after he was POTUS? There just can't be that much satisfaction in peeing all over an airplane lav after defecating all over an entire nation.

After.

I guess he got used to getting away with anything he wanted to. And from the looks of things, that hasn't changed much.

The jackass that came on the plane in a European city yesterday puking his guts out and the paramedics that cleared him to fly (after we called them). He sat right across from our rest seats. He was still puking well into the flight. Sometime during my rest break, he decides he's done using the bag and just pukes on the floors (and apparently all over the Lead FA's shoes). I wake up from a deep sleep to see the sawdust material getting sprinkled. I tried to roll over and continue with my nap, but the smell got too pungent. Needless to say, my rest break was cut short and I retreated to the cockpit before I, myself, got sick.

Nice work. I nearly sprayed my beverage, but this swa fa pours too light to waste it.

So how long is the final?

Spent a day playing dad to a couple sick kiddos, just got back to this.

I'm very serious, but I'm also sure you don't and haven't flown an E190. Note I said 180 to 5, not the marker; most markers are 6-7 miles out which gives me 900-1200 feet to get configured and meet my stabilized approach criteria, which require both configuration and VAPP plus 10 by 1000 feet. 5 miles gives me 2 miles/600 feet to accomplish that, which just isn't going to happen in an E190 from 180 to 130-140 or so. There's a few jet-specific reasons for this versus what's probably normal on a Boeing. I agree that 180 to 5 in a 320 usually works fine, for example...

So what I do is say "unable", and tell the controller what I can do. 160-170 works great depending on tail/headwinds, anti-ice operation etc.

Yes indeed. High performance airfoil and a very weird control feel to any of you that have ever flown one. I am not surprised by the outcome. :(

[Sarcasm]: I'm sure an AOA sensor would have saved the day! :rolleyes: [/SARCASM]
Actually I think the Avidyne has a AOA display.


Do a bit of reading and research if you have not already. It is absolutely true, marketed in very similar manner to relatively inexperienced pilots with similar results. I considered buying one - Cirruses are very affordable for some professional demographics, almost analogous to the Bonanzas back in the day. Fatal accident rate is significantly higher than Cessna or lower wing-loading birds, and has a very high loss of control + stall/spin accident rate.

Compare to the targeted Cirrus ads of today.

When I say short approach, you can expect inside of 10.

That's probably not too bad an idea given how long some aviators make their traffic patterns... I'll bet they are more concerned with the Cessna lingering on the runway and deciding to taxi 4000 feet to his preferred exit than the actual spacing.

I've had many go-arounds because Mr. Student Pilot or Captain Cessna gets pokey on the rollout, annoying at a charlie or delta because I often could easily make it, almost could think of it as a LAHSO if a light plane, but when tower calls go around, I go around...

Maybe we've found the identity of the "yellow pee pee monster"
