Chuck
You sem to feel that you are allowed to be as high handed and domineering in opion on this thread as you wish to be but when someone tries to give you a taste of your own medicine you take major exception and go off in a huff like a child.
If someone dares to be against your opinion you promptly change the subject with a one line quip to try to scare them with your knowledge e.g. your line about the S 61 is a classic example; or the computer laws of Airbus which you then have to show your no doubt Boeing preferance by calling it a video game.
It is funny that when you get the same treament back at you you react so maligned.
On your posts here you have been derogatory and derisive of the following;
the CAA; Since you opinided that they advocated a mandatory shutdown and because an aircraft couldn't restart then this was major folly. I do not kow of the icident you talk of but the failure to restart cold have been from many reasons. I know of one collegue you failed to restart because he forgot the aircrat did not have un-feathering accumulators and forgot he could restart by cranking the starter.
The R.A.F because you think standardised training is for Pavlov's dogs. It seems to work rather well for them. It woild be a much better place if all pilots learned from a standard training method by standardised instructors and then perhaps the training lottery would be a distant memory.
Just because anyone has flown for a long time does not necessarily make you then an expert. It just means that they may have been lucky. Many a Poor fellow has died from the outcome of their first real experience of an event even if they have been around since Pontius was a pilot so your use of a vast number of years or hours is another way you try to shut the discussion down.
You see I have only given back you what you have done to others and it is very apparant to me by the way you reacted that when it comes back at you you find to be rather annoying to say the least
You will note that you made no reply to askmelater but only to the person who treated you as you had treated others
I am sure you have many great stories to tell and no doubt many are funny and enlightening. I am sure I would enjoy an evening in your company.
I was not argueing with you regarding the type rating I was asking you a question. The Netherlands is a JAA EASA country but I cannot find the mention of a specific type rating required for the PBY either Vickers or consolidated so I was asking you. The question was since it is a MEP sea and only 16 tonnes does it require an actual type rating. Is it not just differances training? It is not being facetious or to belittle it is a question.
But you have failed to answer any question specifically but only in your dismissive way.
As for my line to LDMAX about he should not be teaching in a MEP it stems from a line of his on another thread that he had only just qualified as a SE FI(R) and should not be teaching MEP at the moment. He also came out with some fuzzy logic.
Chuck; if you really want to just bicker and throw up new far fetched questions all day long at me go ahead by why not use PM instead of this thread now being well and truly away from the original and most relevant thead for those engaged at the present time of learning and teaching engine failure drills in puddle jumpers.
The binders I have for the Airbus type are over two foot long on the shelf so it could be a rather, rather, rather long post.
