Can you believe some of these guys operating overseas don't even know how many rivets their plane has? Talk about a ticking timebomb of ignorance.
What a numbnut you are. I’m not talking about knowing how many f**king rivets the aircraft has! I’m talking about pilots who don’t even know the requirements for descent below MSA in IMC or Night. Basic **** which people get called Austronauts for but will keep you alive
. I have had pilots overseas tell me that it’s “fine, don’t worry about it, I know we’re over water” 😐.
I still don’t see what is wrong with having a thorough understanding of the rules and having a thorough knowledge of your aircraft to be able to operate it efficiently.
