diverdriver 5 #5 August 28, 2012 No one in particular and everyone. 9 or 10 fuel incidents in last 24 months. Fueling your aircraft is one of THE MOST BASIC THINGS ON THE COMMERCIAL PILOT CHECKRIDE!

[Rant continues] I don't think the fuel reserve rules depend on what level of pilot certificate you have. Even PPLs have to fuel up....

Maybe they should then lose all certificates and start over.Chris Schindler www.diverdriver.com ATP/D-19012 FB #4125 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twatterpilot 0 #10 August 28, 2012 They kinda do Chris. If a pilot crashed due to a fuel exhaustion event, I'm pretty sure they lose their privileges, and they have to take a 609 ride to get them back. *edit* They call it a 709 ride now. LOL But you are totally right, 100% inexcusable.Airline Transport Pilot, Multi-Engine Land, DHC-8 Commercial Multi-Engine Sea, Single Engine Land Private Glider Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
