I had to laugh out loud. OUr ex pat south african was actually an ex pat Israelli 747 copilot who left Israel to fly at a crappy metroliner outfit.
yeah.
Our chief pilot though was from South Africa after a stint as the Bagh Wahn Ganeshee's personal pilot. This Bagh Wahn was the guy who conned people into giving him all their money for enlightenment, while he rode around in a Rolls royce. Well, the chief pilot ended up landing on the wrong runway at LAX. It was a freak show, intimidating pilots, lying to feds, I remember one guy, head of training saying:
Oh yeah, our home base was below mins last night...we shot the approach and...damn we had an autopilot runaway, nose down just prior to the missed approach point...but we saw the runway and landed.
Trouble was, that plane didn't have an autopilot.
yup...its tough out there.
I want to say one more thing: Most metro operators fly the approach at half flaps and when ''visual'' with the runway, extend full flaps...IF THE FLAPS are out of alignment (assymetrical)the plane will roll. Its dumb...u should change nothing at DH.
sad.
