Hmmm low timers in an RJ?

This makes me now think if we should alllow high timers to be buzzing around in a 172!
Making our airspaces unsafe up there....theres soo much to handle in that 172...

Watch out for the gliders and the tow planes. They are creative with their patterns. I've been there on days when it was as bad as places like MGJ on the weekends. No TCAS in most 172's.

P.S. Don't forget to put the gear down

Single engine current? I don't believe there is a thing. He can go solo anytime he wants.

i wasn't referring to the legal "single engine current" but more importantly to the real life application: single engine current = i might be rusty but i wont kill you

I think it's more like "I might be legal, but I could still kill all of us."

Two biggest issue are airspeed and flare hight. They always come in screaming fast then want to stall at 20ft. Also watch how you handle the nose. I use to get T38 guys in there that always wanted to kill me.
