We have the same "High Mins" under 135.225.

The situation I described is actually under our exemption which allows us to have IFR captains at less than the 1200 hours normally required by 135.243 (c)(2). There are other requirements related to training and supervision as well as significantly higher airport mins that I mentioned.

Default EFB Program

There was a post a while back about testing on an EFB program starting.

Did the EFB program ever get implemented or are you guys still using paper Jepp charts?

Yes, pilots started using the new EFBs about a year ago now. We went with the iPad Mini 4s.

Here's a link to the article for anyone interested: https://w3.ameriflight.com/efbs-land...IoDhIMDcuniJos

Right now we are only using it for the Jepp charts. Once we get approval for Ops Spec A025 we will be able to put all of our publications on it (GOM, SOP, etc.)

Thanks [MENTION=38000]frmrbuffdrvr[/MENTION]! At least you aren't carrying around\updating Jepp chart folders anymore.

What about W&B. Do you have a way to do that on the iPad yet or is that still manual\Paper?

Amen to that.

It is still manual. Our metro program manager has a test app to do metro w&b but anything like that will need to be approved by the FAA before we can use it. And that will likely take a while.

Default Flight Instructor Position

I remember several pilots really wanting to be based at DFW. Pretty popular base for us!
Figured I'd give an update on that base. We currently have these Captain positions open: BE99, BE1900, and SA227 (one opening for each aircraft)
Also, a new thing for us, we have an Air Transport Flight Instructor position open. This would be great for current flight instructors!

Link to the position: Air Transport Flight Instructor - Careers At Ameriflight, LLC

Some details:
• Captain pay + extra $$ while instructing
• FAR 135 IFR Captain mins preferred, less will be considered
• You'd either be in the BE99 or BE1900 training program - whichever you most qualify for
• From there, you can become a Check Airman, advance within Flight Department Manager, or transition to the line

Default EMB-120 Takeoff Trim

I am a virtual airline pilot and just downloaded IMHO one of the best as well as an up to date sim of the Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia by Carenado. Can any of you real pilots of the 120 have a t/o chart for trim settings by weight or is there one universal setting? Thanks for taking the time for someone who likes to do it "by the book" I used to have the real manual from ESSCO that I paid $100 for back when I was not retired but had income to spend on my hobby. It got lost moving to a little retirement mod' home in NC from Chicago. Used to fly the E120's when they flew from SFO to FAT where my sister and her family still live.

Here's a digital AFM I found with a Google search.
