I wish! I'm actually in the other end of the aviation field.. I investigate aircraft accidents for a living.. doing a two week course here and an additional week in HQ then back home.FlyBoyPhil said:3 weeks sounds like an inital to me. Are you getting a type rating?
That's cool, I think that'd be interesting. Got to help some of our local FSDO guys with three crashes over the years when I was in maintenance. The toughest one was a small plane with a guy and his daughter and the little girl ended up dying in the hospital some time later...all because the dillhole was too cheap to put a little gas on before coming home. He started sputtering over the airport I was working out of and couldn't find the field. After looking for like 5 minutes he ended up crashing in a field about 1/2 mile from the end of the runway.jc_asi said:I wish! I'm actually in the other end of the aviation field..

It is an interesting job for sure. Alway different scenarios and rarely the same. Not to mention being able to contribute to aviation safety, etc. Oh, and if you search the NTSB's accident database, you'll be amazed how many people run out of fuel.FlyBoyPhil said:That's cool, I think that'd be interesting.
