IOSA Audit

The guys are trying but all it seems is a whole lot more paperwork that seems to be distracting crews from their primary objective which is as we all know is a safe and efficient, punctual flight.

Hahaha

Hey guys, just kinda interesting is that I have not seen a single post with anyone defending Precision. So I guess what is here must be damn true or they could care less. I am sure it is the former though. fly safe fellas

They follow the ATR approved philosophy....very loosely, infact looser than certain barmaids at flyerz
Fortunatley no more flights into DAR for me at the moment so I'm spared the angst for now.
Ugflyer, you're right, the silence is deafening from the Prescision camp. Would be very interesting to see what they have to say in defence. But then again maybe they can't read... Ignorance is bliss

airmanship

they lack CRM, most of them (more than 95%) have ONLY flew in TZ and mozambique...they have not been exposed to disciplined RT procedures...no wonder they have their tails between their legs in JOMO...they are the "national flag carriers"...lastly, they frequently fry their engines by trying to 'beat' ATCL's B732...CRM gotta be compulsory

I have been in contact with some of PW Captains and I have mentioned to them of what is being written on the net, precisely in PPrune.

These ones I regard them as neutral ( maintaining standards ) pilots within the PW, they are unfortunately regarded as outsiders from their superiors.

It's evident that they have never accessed this site and they are not aware of what is being said here.

Another way to make the impact will be passing this information to KQ pilot's who apparently seem to have some influence on their structure and IOSA help/feedback.

I have asked the above mentioned PW Pilot's to try and get into PPrune, if it will help !

hi guys,

like i said, between flying 8-10 hours a day and spending the rest of the day trying to catch up to the air tanzania's b-737 they got no more time to browse through these pages and defend their case..the best joke was when a certain senior captain complained to the air traffic control why the 732 was given priority to land when the performance of the atr and the 732 is the same...we quitely landed as i said to myself "props are for boats"....dude

keep it up there fellows,

How has this thread gone so quiet?

Well to get the ball rolling again let's relate to a rather intresting and telling incident

Tinga Tinga was on finals at Great big hill and Coffee farm Airport. Tower clears Tinga Tinga to land. The boys come on in and low and behold blasting towards them from the Starboard side (Extra points for any Flying Impala pilot who can guess what side this actually is) was an ATR-72 (White and blue one, replacment for a rather unfortunate landing in Jomo ).

Poor Tinga Tinga has to take evasive action to avoid becoming a rather large though very interesting hood ornament for said flying Impala

When Tinga Tinga recovers his composuer and attitude he questions said flying Impala as to what he was doing turning finals when they were on it and cleared to LAND, to which Impala replies "It's ok we had you on TCAS"

I was on the ground and saw the poor boys from Tinga Tinga, Shame on you for being so quiet about this on this the great wonder of the internet

Didn't recognise the flying Impala Captain but recall his Co-jo. Apparently the next day they did the same thing. Not sure if same crew but same airline

Welcome to the wonderfull world of Aviation where our lovely little airfield has been invaded by the GREAT DALADALA gods of the sky

Anyone read their ops Manual "Non tarmac Runway operations PROHIBITED" Yet they still do and some how got a nice review.

Rember one Captain asking the Tower how much runway was available. The tower replied with the full field length. After landing Said ATR pilot was beside himself with Anger accusing the Tower of lying. Tower had not told them how much was paved and how much was Gravel

Come on boys keep this thread going, maybe one day they will become a proper airline worth of their name.

Still love how they ask for Start when they already got their engines running

Hi Guys,
I just want to warm you up on this thread again. It seems like you have totally forgotten about it or probably our buddies have a better airmanship nowadays.
Anyways what i wanted to update you about is that most of the Captains have left for India and some are about to leave as well, and other pilots are undergoing training for a B733, so its about time for some of you to get some valuable hours on the ATRs once they start recruiting.
Please don't ask me about how to send your CVs because i trully don't know and not interested.
Goodluck!
