How about a memo reminding you to turn off the nose landing lights?

Guys use those as a taxi light instead of the wing recognition lights

There is no FAR or requirement stating you must maintain a 500 fpm climb rate.

I saw guys freaking out over that too, I don't know why. I have 6000 hours in the 200 and yes at altitude you must reduce your rate of climb to maintain speed. That's piloting 101.

Edit, just saw someone else addressed this.

So does anyone actually know why this restriction exists? Was it shaker events or just guys flying slow? It specifically says 'cruise flight' not 'climb' so I'm not sure the slow climb rate is the problem here. Anyone have the scoop?

Never speak in Absolute! It will come back to bite you in the posterior.

Well, there were those AA guys that got themselves super slow in an Airbus going into holding years back......

Just think of how much radiation you'll get down at FL280.

Wow this is great, maybe we can actually start getting some ride reports! We've been so alone down here at 250...

If an RJ was actually kept on a regional route it would/should never see the flight levels.
