I had a situation on 787 where neither engine would start. Neither start switch had any effect. The maintenance procedure called for the air cond reset pb to be pushed, but I’ve no idea why or what other function it has related to engine start. Could anybody shed any light ..read more

Hello everyone, I know this may have been asked before and I am aware of the general laws, but is it possible for an American to fly for an European carrier? I understand that they ask for the right to live and work, is it possible to obtain a work permit? And before anyone comes out telling me why don’t you fly in the U.S., some guys like me might have other reasons in our lives that require us to make such a jump, especially for those like me with no experience ..read more

Hi, Hope you're all doing well. I have a couple of questions regarding the ATPL skills test. Me being lazy, I didn't bother applying for the skills test during my last LPC which was a few months ago....but now I need to unfreeze my ATPL and can't wait until next year. What I'm thinking about doing is going to a 3rd party ATO to get the test done. Here are my questions: 1. If for whatever reason I failed the test, would that invalidate my CPL/IR/type rating?

Presumably far higher than say a WW2 bomber crew but still daunting ..read more

Shall we discuss about them? A few years ago they seemed like some fringe weapons, now many consider them like a must-have weapon/system. It seems to me that the current trend is going towards cheaper, mass-produced, almost disposable drones steering away from multi-million $ systems. Thoughts, opinions ..read more

Hi all, I'm led to believe that the NEOs have a slightly different flare law vs the CEOs due to a ELAC update somewhere along the line. The THS on the A321neo freezes at 100ft and introduces a direct elevator-to-stick relation with some damping, correct? Does this exact same law apply with the A320neo too? Or does the A320neo's flare law also introduce some pitch down motion? Thanks ..read more
