Regional turboprop airliner family by De Havilland Canada, formerly Bombardier
POPULARITY
Kiss László 30 éve kezdte a repülős pályafutását Szegeden, a kisgépes képzést követően és egy rövid honvédségi élmény után ejtőernyős pilóta lett, majd pedig a Malév közforgalmi pilótája lett. A nemzeti légitársaságnál Bombardier CRJ 200 és Q400, valamint Boeing 737 típusokon is megfordult. Ezt követően pedig Katarba szerződött az ország légifuvarozójához, ahol immáron 10 éve szolgál, az utóbbi pár évben már kapitányként repüli a cég Boeing 777 típusú repülőgépeit. A kétrészes interjú második és egyben befejező részében Laci mesélt nekünk arról, hogy milyen volt a katari kiköltözés, hogyan zajlott a légitársasági felvételi procedúra, illetve elmondta, hogy milyenek a mindennapok az öböl-térségi országban. Valamint, arról is beszélt nekünk, hogy milyen kihívásokkal, nehézségekkel és egyben szépségekkel is kell szembenézni egy hosszútávú járatokat teljesítő pilótának. Nagy örömmel várjuk a gondolataitokat az interjúval kapcsolatosan az adáshoz kapcsolódó közösségi média posztoknál, valamint ha bármilyen észrevételetek, javaslatotok van a podcast-et illetően, azt nagyon szívesen fogadjuk Messengeren.

Ready For Takeoff - Turn Your Aviation Passion Into A Career
PilotsTogether is a charity established by current pilots and their supporters. Our goal is to ensure that pilots made redundant from a large UK-based airline remain a part of our community, retain the skills they already have and to help them gain new ones, and ultimately find new jobs. We also aim to ensure that no former colleagues face significant financial hardship. We are a new charity, established in summer 2020 in response to the impact of Covid-19 on our community. I am a professional pilot working with a major UK airline on the 737. With a Masters in Human Factors in Aviation, well-being and pilot mental health are my real passions. Having previously flown the Q400 for Flybe, and seen many of my friends deal with redundancy as a result, I know it’s purely luck that I’m not in the same situation. Being able to contribute a little to help those individuals struggling in the current climate seems the least I can do. One key aspect of well-being is making sure that those pilots not currently flying still feel part of the aviation family, and supported by us, and that is key to what I want to help achieve. If you want to help furloughed pilots, you can donate here.
Today’s story is something a little different. Our protagonist didn’t set out to hurt somebody else. He didn’t harm innocent people. He didn’t snap in the heat of the moment and do something shocking that can’t be undone. There was no violent crime of passion or cold blooded premeditation. In the United States, over 900,000 people work in the aviation industry, so that’s a considerable amount of people in whom we place a great amount of trust to help keep us safe in the air. What you’ll hear about today baffled and disturbed both the public and the loved ones of the person concerned in equal measure.

#1-Travel Talk Unser heutiger Gast im Travel Talk ist Janis Schmitt, Mitglied des Vorstandes der Vereinigung Cockpit e.V. und Pressesprecher. Als Kapitän auf einer Dash8Q400 im Linieneinsatz bei der LGW fliegt er für die Eurowingsgruppe ab Düsseldorf Destinationen innerhalb Europas an. Seit 2004 hat er über 10000 Stunden Flugerfahrung auf Verkehrsflugzeugen (B737 und Q400) gesammelt und engagiert sich seit 2009 in der Tarifarbeit. Mit der Vereinigung Cockpit verbinden viele Reisende erst einmal Streiks. In der gesellschaftlichen Debatte sorgen hierbei die vermeintlichen Traumgehälter einiger Piloten oftmals für Unverständnis. Janis Schmitt stellt die Sicht der Vereinigung Cockpit dar und erklärt, wo diese sich missverstanden fühlt. Wir haben uns über das Flugchaos im Sommer 2018, die Avancen von Eurowings, nun verstärkt Strecken ab den LH-Hubs zu bedienen, die Arbeitsbedingungen bei den arabischen Airlines und die 737 MAX unterhalten. „Zum Hintergrund der Luftraumsperrung liegen uns keine weiteren Informationen vor“, so Janis Schmitt, Pressesprecher und Vorstand Öffentlichkeitsarbeit der Vereinigung Cockpit. „Es handelt sich dabei allerdings um einen drastischen Schritt. Die Zeit der Sperrung muss für eine gründliche Untersuchung des Unfalls genutzt werden. Solange diese andauert und die Unglücksursache für den Unfall in Äthiopien noch nicht feststeht, verbieten sich Spekulationen zum Unfallhergang.“ Auch haben wir die Frage, ob Piloten den Applaus aus der Kabine überhaupt hören und sich darüber freuen ein für alle mal beantwortet.Wie Janis Schmitt selbst die Faszination Fliegen entdeckt hat und was er angehenden Piloten rät, erfahrt ihr in unserem Podcast.Abonniere uns, damit du keine Folge verpasst!Vereinbare noch heute Deine kostenlose Beratung. https://FTCircle.as.me/ Verbinden Sie sich mit anderen Vielfliegern in unserer Facebook-Gruppe (https://www.facebook.com/groups/vielfliegerstammtisch/) & folgen Sie uns auf Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/FTCircle/).

Bags, bags and more bags I’m going to first start by talking about two bags once again. These are the MindShift FirstLight 20L and the REI Trail 40 with Tenba BYOB 13 insert MindShift Link: https://www.thinktankphoto.com//collections/firstlight-series/products/firstlight-20l?rfsn=953619.2a0eb The FristLight 20 is a great bag if you’re looking for something that is rather slim and doesn’t allow you to take a ton of extra stuff. That’s me. I’m not a huge fan of big bags for a couple of reasons. First off is I need my camera pack to count as my “personal item” when I fly. Due to my small air port and small planes that service this airport I have more strict restrictions as to what I can actually carry on the plane. If I were to get a roller bag like the ThinkTank International, that would be great for every other plane I fly on, but not the Q400 that comes in to Walla Walla. Because it’s still going in the baggage compartment with all the other items. Now, it’s put there after the fact, and I have actually done that ONCE before without issue, but I don’t want to do that again. So I need a bag that will fit under the seat in front of me or the smaller overhead bin. So that also forces me to go light all the time, which is actually a blessing. MindShift also offers a 30L and a 40L option, but I’ll focus on the 20L for this episode. With all that said, about it being a slim bag, it still holds a bunch of stuff. It’s about 11.4×18.7×7 inches and weighs about 4.5 pounds. It’s sturdy and will certainly protect your gear very well. However, my 5d4 is rather cramped in this bag only due to its L bracket that I keep on there all the time. It fits, but just BARELY. Also, they claim that it fits a 15” laptop, but that’s another just BARELY type of thing. I’m uncomfortable with how unprotected the computer is in this slot, so I don’t plan on using my computer in this bag. The 13” would be fine if you’re careful, but as the computer goes in the front lid it’s somewhat vulnerable given the lack of padding. Otherwise it fits great, is very adjustable and I’d certainly trust my camera gear in there. It’s got the straps you need for carrying a tripod and I’m just happy with it overall, just not for also carrying my computer. My “go to” bag right now is the REI trail 40 with the Tenba BYOB insert. This insert is basically the same size as my other messenger bags I mentioned in the first part of this series, but it’s absent all the bells and whistles that a normal bag has. So far it’s working out pretty well. I love the harness on the Trail 40 and I just insert my computer into the sleeve that is intended for the water bladder. It’s not padded, but it’s right next to my back which does have padding and then the next piece is that ICU, so it’s well protected. The only thing about this combo is that the pockets are void of the little organizers that we love in so many packs. But I’ve learned to deal with it. Hong Kong is my first big trip with this setup. So I’ll either love it or I’ll hate it and buy something new in HK maybe. I sure hope I love it. So far so good though. And don’t forget the discount code mentioned in the show for Peak Design gear. Plus, if you’re inclined to go with a ThinkTank bag my links here will also be good for a free gift with purchase. So, enough of that, let’s get to the conversations with listeners… 5th caller: Mario Supnet, welcome Mario. Conversation about bag needs, not really decided but disappointed with the “cheap” options out there. 6th caller: Mark Morris, welcome Mark F-Stop gear Sukha http://fstopgear.com/products/packs/sukha https://www.photographerscooperative.com 7th caller: Rick Ohnsman, welcome Rick LowePro Pro Tactic 450 8th caller: Scott Tice, welcome Scott Tenba DNA 11 and 8 and some bags from Crumpler Use this link for excellent gear at the Peak Design website.

Ready For Takeoff - Turn Your Aviation Passion Into A Career
This past week there was a dramatic, and tragic, event at Sea-Tac airport in Seattle, Washington. An airport worker stole an empty Horizon Air Q400 aircraft and flew it erratically for over an hour before crashing and killing himself. Rather than the NTSB, the FBI is taking the lead in the investigation into this event, which is rightly being called a crime. Even for an experienced pilot, stealing an airliner is no small feat. If the airplane is parked at a gate, it must be pushed back with a tow vehicle and then disconnected from the tow vehicle, which must them be driven out of the way. In this case it was parked remotely, at the cargo ramp, and could be taxied forward once the engines were started. And the cargo ramp is located adjacent to the takeoff position on runway 19L, so once the engines were started there was little to prevent the aircraft from initiating a takeoff. Gaining access to the Q400 aircraft itself is relatively easy, as the main entry door has integral stairs, and there is a YouTube video showing door operation: https://youtu.be/_ai4L3tb92o There is very little information regarding how the individual was able to gain access to the aircraft, start the APU, start the engines, taxi and take off without interruption. The facts as they are now known are: He had no prior experience as a pilot He was an airline employee with access to the airport Secure Identification Display Area (SIDA) His normal employment was in the area of baggage loading and airplane marshalling From his conversations with ATC, he intended to kill himself This is not something that can be accomplished on a whim. I believe the FBI's investigation will reveal that the individual had planned this for some time. He most likely had the Microsoft Flight Simulator X program and had been practicing how to start the engines, adjust the condition levers, take off, raise the landing gear, and fly. There is an add-on program for Microsoft Flight Simulator X for the Q400, and the flight manual for the Q400 is readily available on the internet. If this individual had simply wanted to steal the airplane and crash it, he likely would not have engaged in conversation with ATC. He was clearly a troubled individual, and it is really sad that an intervention was apparently not possible. This is not the first such event. In 1969, Sergeant Paul Meyer, a C-130 aircraft mechanic stationed at Mildenhall Air Base in England, put on an officer's flight suit and stole a C-130, hoping to fly back to the United States. He had been under a lot of emotional pressure and desperately wanted to get back home to his wife of eight weeks. He was drunk when he stole the plane, which vanished after a few hours. There will undoubtedly be a knee-jerk over-reaction in the industry, which will make it more difficult for legitimate crew members to initiate their flights, and which will likely lead to departure delays. Perhaps it would be more productive to educate the public on the signs of mental illness and how to help someone who seeks a permanent solution to a temporary problem. If you have thoughts of suicide, confidential help is available for free at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Call 1-800-273-8255. This line is available for 24 hours, every day.
Tonight we take a dark secret look at the Friday’s deadly theft of an Alaska Airlines Horizon commercial Q400 plane, and a second look at what exactly the US Airforce’s rules of engagement are for these kinds of events. Later we find out it Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan could use another self-engineered coup right about now (2016, anyone?), and closed the show with some dark secret storytime and the tale of Madeleine Albright and the Bosnian amputee babies.
Flying turboprops in Canada can be an exciting and rewarding career path. To continue our real world pilot series we chat with Q400 FO, Duncan Gillespie.
The Dash 8 Q400 has been officially rolled out as part of the Infinite Flight Fleet. Here to help us today is real world Dash 8 pilot, Ard Jan Ottevanger.
