Pretend you are the pilot flying the helicopter which happens to be headed at an airliner

[Robert W]

This pilot is flying a Piper Archer II. A plane I have many hours flying. I qualified in 3 Piper Airplanes. She wants an IFR license that I don't have and it requires training to essentially fly blind. I have 6 hours flying this way too. 6 hours is just a start. My instructor was so good he set me up to fly IFR as a beginner.
Now what to watch for. She is chatty. She talks her way through everything. She also has an instructor who adds to the chat. He is aware she is video taping this of course. Notice how complex it looks. Now let's watch it and try to imagine you are flying the Army Helicopter that hit the passenger jet at Reagan Airport in January. Notice it was also flown by a female. Notice that female Army Pilot was also under instruction. She in other words would be chatting to the instructor. So both practiced the flight.

Skip for a moment to the passenger Jet. It was not training as I recall. Even were it also training, it was following the correct path at the correct altitude. It was following all the flight rules. See why the Helicopter pilot was not following her rules? She was to fly no higher than 100 feet altitude. The passenger jet at 300 feet. She was also at 300 feet. I believe she was busy chatting. The NTSB will issue what happened but for all of us, hope this helps you get a heads up.

Now you can understand why they banned helicopters in that area until the final ruling is issued.

In my tour of service in the Air Force ... I only knew one woman who looked good in fatigues, she was especially beautiful in girl-clothes ... this one here wouldn't cut it ...

Flight suits them war-bird pilots wear ain't no damn Daisy Duke shorts ... I guess that's the implication ... God-Emperor Leto II only kept women warriors ... the Fishspeakers ... truly the female of the species is the most co-operative in their ruthless ...

Think "hysterical woman with a gun" ... or in this case, a gun-ship ...

I have flown many planes. Did some helicopter simulators. Helicopter is much much more difficult. I would want a lot of simulator hours before trying the real thing.

Thank you for contributing. I would learn were the instructor very good.

Lol, on the simulator I kept getting to much torch and spun the cabin. It was frustrating trying to learn. There was a time there was no such thing as a simulator. Ya had to try on the real thing.

My best opportunity to be inside a helicopter was in Germany, however the pilots were kept pretty busy and I did not ask them to let me go with them as a passenger. Then I was not a pilot. One of the pilots did take me as a passenger to Wurzburg, Germany and flew me both ways. I had a Doctor appointment there. He surprised me by telling me flying scared him. That really is what he said. He said when he got out of the Army, he had no intentions of flying again as a pilot.

Where I was trained to be a pilot, the flight center also had Robinson Helicopters for sale but I never got inside one. Another true story is that I was booked as a passenger out of San Francisco headed to LAX. The passenger sitting next to me was an airline pilot flying for free to LAX to meet the plane he was to pilot as I recall to Chicago. Turned out he and I had trained at the Same airport at the same flight center and we knew everybody including the FAA flight inspector pilot who handed me my license for fixed wing. I also asked him if he believed man changes climate and he said of course not.

These who believe man is in charge of climate have no clue about this since they never were pilots and saw all of this up close as we do or did in my case.

Generally speaking women think every situation is a social event. Talk, talk, talk. Go outside to see for yourself. Note the number women talking on the mobil telephone as compared to men.

Women pilots should be banned until the final ruling.

I shall ignore your moment of madness .

Or, has your good wife chucked you out again for a few days based on your indifferent attempts at being her pilot ?

Better for you that you do.

This isn't the time nor the place for such a personal subject. I mean that seriously. Another day perhaps.

As much as we wish to disprove our prejudices women continue to reinforce them instead.

With all of that silly-cone you'd need quite a lot of ballast in the tail section to keep the landing gear from snaping off.

Prejudice is a choice ... why not respect women and their part of society? ... even if men don't understand what that part is ...

"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." -- Gen 3:15

The DNA is more succinct ... only women get a full measure of 46 X-Chromosomes, men have the Y- and that's all but vestige by now ... and a lot of that missing genetic material is for brain function ... men are too stupid to run away from danger; and a lion with a belly-full of man ain't going to be chasing through the brush after the women and children ... after the first 38 seconds, man's role in reproduction is over ... best for the species if they were stupid ... I'm picking on humans but really all mammals ... talk about "class warfare" ...

Stand your ground Bubba ... it's your duty to mankind ...

No, it isn't.

Who said otherwise? I don't think you understand the subject.

Simulator is as close as I have come. Never even been close to be offered a ride. It's on my bucket list. Have not knocked much off that bucket list lately. Hopefully in the near future I can start working on that bucket list.

What works for me is first as you have, write down what you want to do, and set a time to do it. And save up the cost dedicated to the thing you want to happen. Only you know your personal priorities and should you accomplish getting a ride, let me know as I will congratulate you for reaching your goal.

 

[ReinyDays]

No, it isn't.

You think pre-judgements are FORCED ... [rolls eyes] ... see ya ...
