| I am now line qualified and ready to sit reserve ![]() IOE was fun and a good learning experience. Got to land on a 5000' runway at night. Got to shoot an ILS down to minimums. I popped my class 'A' cherry. I even made a "ladies and gentleman, welcome to Dallas/ Ft Worth..." announcement over the ramp frequency <duh>. See you guys on the line!!!!

I'll be sitting ready on Friday. If you're going to be there, drop me a line this week via PM and we'll swap digits.

You're not a real pilot until you've announced to all the passengers that you're cleared for takeoff, though. Have fun with ready--don't be afraid to leave a little early. | |

The toughest thing for my class was the first few days in the sim. Your doing all the profiles, flows, visual and ILS approaches, and the stall series on day one.

| LOL...all these responses are funny. Makes me want to be extra careful not to make my calls on the wrong frequency. I remember when doing the aborted takeoff in the sim, I told the tower "Be Seated", and the passengers "Jetlink 2155 declaring an emergency, remaining on the runway, roll the trucks" ![]() Anyway, congratulations, Subpilot!

| I don't know how it works in a non military air field, but I know for us on the C-5 when ever we are running on APU's we are supposed to give ground a call and let them know. Well as a student I was doing the apu startup checklist, and I kept calling tower to request permission to start apu's. My instructor was laughing so hard he could not correct me ![]() Tower finally came back with something witty. And have given more than one pax brief over the whole planes PA ![]() |

| I flew just under 20 hours. I now have 6 days off and I am trying to pick up open time and SABRE is kicking my butt. I think I have finally figured it out but I am not 100% sure.

So its in our checklist to make a radio call any time you start up APUs. To make sure your radios are working, incase they spontaneously catch on fire. Don't want the world to blow up ![]() | |
