Its all good, curving round the Canarsie approach in a 727, greeting the break of day in a Champ at 500 agl, cruising the stratosphere at Fl 450 in the XLS,or flying a demo off a grass strip in the C47, its all flying, God bless it, it is all good !

It is great to watch a 747 or A340 do the VOR 13L, my girlfriends crash pad is right under the turn and it's awesome to watch.
Hmm, this might call for another thread "Favorite Approaches"

I haven't flown GA for 12 years. I'm checking out in a C172 next week. I'm sure it will be a shock to my system. I've been flying long-haul widebody, and now I'll be flying something the size of one of my tires. 
I do miss it. I have about 4,000 hours GA flying. I might try soaring too.

Not to be Johnny Raincloud, but @ many airlines that is against company policy. Most will not allow their pilots to have another paying job, so you should check your FOM or consult your Chief Pilot.

Shouldn't have a problem, if you're sitting reserve and never even getting close to the 1000 hr year limit (or any of the other limits). Still best to check with your company.

Ah, the VOR 13L! I love that one, one of my favorites! Ranks up there with the River Visual 19 and Mt Vernon Visual 1/Circle 33 (5204ft), both at DCA.
