Another FNG

PositionAndHold · January 7th, 2007, 22:19

First of all, great site. Been a long time lurker (about 8 months), I figured I might have a need to put my foot in my mouth every now and then. So I registered.

Little back ground. Been around flying my whole life. Pops was a Flight instructor when I was born. I'm 31, have about 900tt/250me. FO on a part 91 Lear 45 out of SoCal part time, And work in a jail full time (wich sucks). Hoping to be flying full time by this summer, but we will see. Trying to stay in the 91 world if I can. No offense just not really into the whole 121 thing.

Again Awsome site!

You should chat up jonnyB. He manages a Lear35 (I believe) and has mentioned that his FO may be leaving soon if he hasn't left already.

I Learned how to fly at VNY in 1989. Nice and busy.

PositionAndHold · January 9th, 2007, 22:17

thanks for the post ChinookDriver, and everyone esle.

VNY is super busy some times. The TCAS about flips out every time we go in there. For that place alone there should be a 3 mile limit to the TCAS, 6 miles is just to sensitive for busy airspace.

I remember coming in from magic mountain and the atis said 3 miles haze, however, vis was about a mile because of smog. I was told by a controller that they always did this to keep the tower vfr. Fun times!!

Kristie · January 9th, 2007, 23:02
