I think disregarding company policy is pretty unprofessional. You sound like a few Pinnacle pilots a few years ago who 410d it.
O........kay...... So let's hypothetically say I have no 121 experience...
You're telling someone who isn't in the airline business that it's okay for pilots to decide which rules they want to follow? That sets a horrible example. How about you do your damn job the way it's supposed to be done, and despite what you think, that's the way your company says, end of story.
I might be 22, but at least I know how to conjugate the verb "fly" |
I must be confused but you can fly a constant speed in VS mode (you just gotta tweak it is all....) all the captains I've flown with put it in VS mode to get ballpark 290 pretty quick out of ten so the airplane doesn't do the porpouise crud.
And hey what's wrong with FL410
In the right airplane of course. I never really understood what was so cool about it.... heck I've been to FL430... all it means is less TUC if the airplane explosively decompresses.
--btw before someone claims I'm dangerous (yeah I shaved with a Mach 3 the other day)... FL410 wasn't in a CRJ.... Citation Excels and CJs cruise fine at 43.
