If here anyone that have this book? Aviation Solutions -- b1900.com -- Home Page

They have the manual for 1900C and 1900D. Written and edited by 1900D captains, instructors, and check airmen. (Is ideal for those who don't have yet any turbine experience.)

Unless it's banned in the AFM (it's not in the Dash, and I've done it once in an empty plane).
I was double engine out at the time so no flaps (you could close the man ties and then put the flaps down). I also learned that you can bring the props out of feather if need be to get down and if you time it right they work great.

This thread is hillarious. You guys act like you the first ones to ever go through airline training before? Not a bash or ripping, just an observation. Glad you're having fun, press on, press on!!!

A note of caution--Every airline teaches things a little different. Do not think for one second that there is a one size fits all book for any airplane at any airline. The 727 is a classic example of this. Put a hundred pilots in a room, end up with 100 different versions of the same plane and all of them would be correct.

Northeast bases are all day trips. Hope that answers your questions.
I'm really sorry but what did u mean with 3 or 4 trips or all day trips??? Is that about overnights?

A) Day trip is like an 8-5 job
B) 2 day trip = Work 2 straight days, spending 1 night away from home but you are home everyday
C) 3 day trip = Work 3 straight days, spending 2 nights away from home
D) 4 day trip = Work 4 straight days, spending 3 nights away from home

Double flame out within gliding distance to an airport, I see how realistic the training is! That's time well spent in the SIM...

I got it in my most recent trip to the sim too. It was the first time for something like that for me. I spent half the time looking for the ejection handle and then realize that I should close the gen ties and start a turn towards the airport. Made it too . Realistic? Who knows - but those MU-2 drivers from that icing story in the Safety subforum tell a good story!

So, "all day trip" is that u fly or work for 8hr in a day for 5 straight days and then 2 days free?

And in a 4 day trip let say, after you complete your 4 days then how many days off you have?

Seen it in a 757 sim at a major airline. Engine was failed and cleared direct to an on airport VOR....... the rest is history.
