Congrats, FLHooker


Recommended Posts

I wanted to offer my congratulations to FLHooker (aka Chad) for making PC this weekend. Way to go!!!BTW, He accomplished this feat as an MDay pilot in minimal time.

 

Edit: PC = Pilot in Command. This means FLHooker is now responsible for the supervision/training of junior pilots. He can take the keys without "daddy" sitting in the seat next to him. It is what we called Helicopter Aircraft Commander (HAC) in the Navy. A big step and a big increase in responsibility.

Hey! Congratulations!!!

 

2.5 day check ride? Geez, that should give those of us sweating the private check-ride a little perspective :)

LOL thats awesome....

For me, there was little celebration for making HAC, but my 1000 hr mark was a different story. The aircrew and maintenance guys spot tied my hands behind my back, spot tied my feet, hoisted me from the maintenance crane in the ship's hangar, then painted a "1000" on my forehead with grease.

 

I think I would have preferred pushups in the mud. :D
