Expresset Checkride :(
 

Ok everybody I passed my checkride :) Wasn't my best flying, but good enough :) My sim partner busted on his single engine ILS :(

Saw the frowny face and feared the worst:D Congrats on yours, sucks about your buddy. I take it hes gonna retrain and go again?

Hey, congratulations on passing the check ride! Is your partner all finished or will he get another shot?

thanks fellas, he has to do some retraining then take the ride agian ;)

No biggy. They usually just make you do to the parts you messed up on.

What happened to CRM and helping each other out with some creative calls like, "HEADING", "POWER," "POSITIVE RATE..."

That is too bad be/she busted. It is no fun to be in that situation. I always feel bad as a crew member in those situations like there might have been something else I could have/should have done to save whatever it was.

GOod work Saab...so you were based in ABE not too long ago? I know quite a few people there right now...

I fly out of there too...

you don't happen to fly out of hanger 7 (ACE) do ya?

what did he to do to bust the single engine ils? was it the missed approach? normally you can use the autopilot for a single engine ils, correct?

Hahaha...ACE...HECK NO!!! But I do fly out of Hangar 7 quite often.

lol sorry didnt mean to insult, are you an instructor out there or what kind of flying do you do?

Not in the ERJ, unfortunately. Congrats SAAB! IOE should be pretty fun, since you've done the airline thing before. I had a blast on mine. See you out there. :)

nah no coupled single engine ILS, He brok out was slightly left of RWY then did some unstable manuevering to get back then pounded it on the RWY "according to the DE anyway" a few other altitude deviations on his MAP I thought he did well, but I wasnt giving the ride so.....................

P.S. Hanger 7 is awesome especially when you get a coutsey van to gregories, good burgers :)

SAAB - Hanger 7 rocks! Lots of buds who work there - in MX and Ramp Rats.

LivinTheDream - I mostly fly with people who have their own planes...twins mostly. Do instrument/multi stuff with them. I have also done a little bit of work with a guy that keeps his plane in Hangar 10.

Nothin' too fancy...that's for sure :p

Now once you make it through IOE you can feel free to flame about on the forum while enjoying some quality reserve life in Newark NJ one of the nicest places on earth.

Congrats! I must say that with the :( , I was a bit worried. Weird, I don't even know you.

Congrats on passing, best of luck in the future.
