@sentamalin:matrix.org@sentamalin:matrix.orgThere was a beautiful moonrise on the way to KCLE on our repo flight this evening. It was the first time I got to sit up there and ask a ton of questions. At least until I decided to go back to the cabin.07:44:12
@brad:koehn.com@brad:koehn.comWhat questions did you ask?11:00:01
@sentamalin:matrix.org@sentamalin:matrix.org

Oh, much of it was to review a recent CBT (context: I'm an FA but our carrier occasionally cross-trains so that everyone is familiar with all equipment) regarding comms:

  • Where are the comms located in relation to left seat/right seat?
  • How do I phone/PA?
  • Should I (heaven forbid) need to contact ground/company/guard myself what are the steps?
  • Our CBT mentioned Something-something-BUG in relation to ditching; what is it?

Just kinda a review really, except I can actually see it versus just it being explained.

@sentamalin:matrix.org@sentamalin:matrix.org Along with a stupid facetious one during a boring part of cruise: "So... What does it feel like to stall?" And I was for some reason hoping to feel it but that would be a Bad Idea I'd imagine. 14:23:59
@sentamalin:matrix.org@sentamalin:matrix.org Anyways it was mostly review on case someone approached me with questions and I didn't want to be a Check FA with their pants down regarding training materials. 14:30:04

@brad:koehn.com@brad:koehn.comStalls in swept-wing aircraft are probably best experienced in a sim. Not sure what you fly though. You could always go up on a discovery flight and try them in a bug smasher.00:24:26

Yeah, alas I don't get much experience there, and I can't imagine ever needing to be in a sim as an FA. So the best I get right now until I secure funds for PPL is to ask questions and pay attention to my cross-training while working.

Heading to the airport for some practice approaches in actual IMC (clouds).
Have fun and be safe!

@brad:koehn.com@brad:koehn.comThanks! It was perfect deteriorating weather, shot an ILS and a GPS approach and hold with 800’ ceilings and 2 mile visibility. Feels great!17:10:02

@sentamalin:matrix.org@sentamalin:matrix.orgThe thought makes me feel anxious, particularly the visibility, but in that excited kind of way. It must've felt great getting that down pat.05:31:56
@brad:koehn.com@brad:koehn.comEven eight years on, I get nervous flying into clouds. It gets better with practice and preparation.11:05:49

@brad:koehn.com@brad:koehn.comAnyone here headed to #airventure this year (besides me?) https://airventure.org/19:30:51
@aaron:raim.istAaronI can’t make it this year. Hopefully I’ll finally make it out there next year.19:44:48
@brad:koehn.com@brad:koehn.comI'm driving down this year (from Minnesota); lots of friends have already arrived and are camping in Scholler.19:47:32

@sentamalin:matrix.org@sentamalin:matrix.orgMan, I wish I could've gone, but Scheduling has me doing too many trips and too many OEs. C'est la vie.23:37:00
