Virtual Airlines / Freight Dogs virtual Air Cargo is Hiring Pilots!
« on: January 14, 2011, 06:05:22 PM »
Freight Dogs virtual Air Cargo is looking for pilots who like the freedom to fly cargo
anywhere in the world, anytime, in any cargo aircraft they choose. There is no pilot
restriction by rank that limits what aircraft you fly. Freight Dog pilots are their own
bosses flying their own routes and schedules. There are no pesky pireps to fill out. Freight
Dog pilots simply fly on the vatsim network and the Freight Dog tracking system completes
their log book for them, automatically!

Freight Dogs has five convenient hubs:
Memphis International (KMEM) - Freight Dog World Headquarters
Newark International (KEWR)
Ontario International (KONT)
Ft. Lauderdale International (KFLL)
EL Dorado International (SBKO)

Entering our third year as a virtual airline on Vatsim, Freight Dogs is pleased to introduce
VA Financials as an alternative/addition to our normal operations. Freight Dog pilots are
free to fly using either method. VA Financials does have some restrictions but has some
pretty nifty flight reports and virtual pay! So if you like a more structured VA we have
that too!

So what are you waiting for? Your clearance to takeoff is just around the corner. Come and
see what 40 other Freight Dog pilots  are already enjoying, apply today and enjoy the
freedom to fly that other cargo VA's just can't touch.

Freight Dogs Virtual Air Cargo is celebrating its second anniversary on Vatsim this month.  Founded  December of 2008, Freight Dogs is Vatsim's only 'free-flight" virtual cargo airline. Freight Dog pilots are their own bosses flying whenever, anywhere in and around the world in any cargo aircraft they choose whether its a Freight Dog repaint or one of their own. Freight Dog pilots spend more time in the air and not filling out pesky pireps because of our unique "auto-file" logbook that logs the pilots hours from wheels up to touchdown.  Freightdogs offers 29 FS9 repaints, 7 FSX repaints and 1 X-Plane repaint. Freight Dogs calls Memphis International Airport (KMEM) is worldwide headquarters  with satellite hubs in Newark, NJ (KEWR) and Ontario, CA (KONT) with another to be announced soon.

You too can be a part of this growing virtual airline. No experience necessary. For more information or to join, visit:

General Discussion / AOPA Video Question.
« on: October 10, 2010, 06:43:05 PM »
Quote from: Richard Ruminski
Question here from a Desk Top Pilot.  What was the aircraft doing in this video that had the pilot so confused.

VIDEO

Richard,

I believe the pilot experienced vertigo from the get go once in IMC and ended up in really steep bank descending spiral or he went inverted. During vertigo, your mind thinks something is happening and instinctively you respond in what feels right instead of what IS right. Example: You may have the sensation you are straight and level when you are anything but.

Try this experiment and you'll experience vertigo without the risk of killing yourself:

You'll need a chair/stool that pivots and a friend. You sit on the chair/stool. Now close your eyes. Have a friend turn the chair to the right or left at a nice rotation. If the friend (without telling you)gradually slows the rotation to a crawl, you fell as if you have stopped turning but in reality the chair/stool is still rotating. This is Vertigo. When you think you have stopped turning. open your eyes and you will see you are still turning.

This is what made me think "forget what my head is saying and believe in my eyes".

Harold,

Yes. I was under the impression weather would be okay from FSS. Little did I/FSS know that the front that was supposed to have moved through my flightplan path stalled at a really bad time. Do not take the FSS weather at its word. The pilot needs to be vigilant at all times especially with weather.

Holy Crap!

As a student pilot on my solo legs flight, I experienced this exact same thing, except I didn't crash. As soon as I went IMC, I went into a brief panic only to hear GOD through my instructor's voice (not in the plane at all) telling me "Forget your head and believe in your eyes". I did just that. Knowing that vertigo was evident. Panic soon turned to "fly the airplane". I focused first on the turn coordinator to make sure I was not in a turn, then looked at the v/s and atttude indicator to make sure I was level, straight and true. I then carefully mastered a 180 turn (IMC) and got out of the IMC, found the first water tower I saw and vectored my way home. I for one can say the Turn Coordinator saved my freaking life! I definately learned from the experience and yes, I am a private pilot. That day GOD was my co-pilot.

I have to agree with the work Andrew, Mike and Rob have done. I enjoyed the leadership that these three brought to Vatusa. I too, wish them the very best. They and their talent will be missed.
