2 Pinnacle Planes off the Runway in 1 day?
Jet Slides Off Iowa Taxiway; No Injuries Reported | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Iowa News, Sports, and Weather | Local News
No injuries when small plane slides off Alpena runway | Detroit Free Press | freep.com Not that this was a cause in either incident, but just a reminder to all of us that we need to try extremely hard to put all the contract, pay cut, crappy management distractions on the back burner when we are flying the jet. |
But if you are flying the prop, distractions are OK!
Just kidding... |

To me it says something about the training at 9E, it doesn't cut it. FAA approved? Yes, but good training? No. The training is geared toward nothing more than getting people through, it isn't set up to train pilots to properly fly the line. With proper training you can take anyone of average intelligence and average hand-eye coordination and make them a competent pilot. It is only going to get worse with all the training going on.
Slipping off a taxiway has nothing to do with what happened at Flight safety or in the classroom. Since when did you just spend a sim session taxiing in icy conditions? It has to do with pilots being distracted. The fact that it happened to two pilots, apparently one a Colgan transition and the other a Mesaba crew proves that it could happen to ANY crew, on ANY airplane, at ANY airport that are not paying enough attention. |

OK forum members. Most of you who have participated in this thread so far have been on APC long enough to know that if something is likely to be a TOS violation that it, and all others posts which contain the deleted material, will also be deleted. If you feel that you MUST comment, your safest bet is to not quote the offending material to preserve your own post.
The thread is real close to being closed if we can't get past the insulting an entire pilot group without unfounded speculation. USMCFLYR |
@jayray...
The irony of commenting on 9E training from a 9L pilot is not lost on me :cool: |
