@sentamalin:matrix.org | There 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 | What questions did you ask? | 11:00:01 |
@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. | 14:22:33 |
@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 | 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 | Stalls 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 |

@sentamalin:matrix.org | In reply to @brad:koehn.com Stalls 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. 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. | 15:40:16 |
@sentamalin:matrix.org | In reply to @brad:koehn.com Heading to the airport for some practice approaches in actual IMC (clouds). Have fun and be safe! | 15:40:22 |
@brad:koehn.com | Thanks! 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 | The 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 | Even eight years on, I get nervous flying into clouds. It gets better with practice and preparation. | 11:05:49 |
