Cockpit Conversation - Cold Temperature Correction

[Slap]

Damn, my head hurts.

'Cockpit Conversation' is a blog done by a lady commercial pilot who mostly
flies out of Canada and is often around my area (Alberta). She is in the
trenches I guess... when she is not flying she does other things like
de-icing the aircraft with a rag, changes carpet in it, helps change the oil
in the airplane... one of her posts is about using a 'certified' $10 tampax
for some kind of filter for a gauge. Says the company didn't even repackage
it... but it had gone through the certification stage so must come from them
and be used instead of the local drug store variety.

She does use an older version Flight Sim on her laptop... that blog entry is
'pretending to fly'.

We often think about Captain Dave's blog around here when we think
Commercial Pilot. I don't think he cleans the wind screen and certainly
doesn't de-ice his aircraft.

If you want to know what the 'real world' is like give her a read... more
often than naught she has some interesting stuff to say. Today it is about
Cold Temperature Correction...

Yeah I just tried to re-read it. Best to fly the big iron and let the
computer do everything. Bush type pilots might have fun but if ya gotta
figure out every hill...

come on, your kidding right? You should know about altitudes and
altimeters if your doing any serious flying.
Doesn't everyone here use a manual e6-b when they fly?

There are FAA approach charts for RNP RNAV procedures which have
warnings about Baro use in cold temps.

When I think of a Commercial Pilot I think of basically what you have
described her as doing. Captain Dave is just as real world but he is an
Airline Pilot.
The process goes PPL -> CPL -> ATPL and there is a huuuge difference between
a commercial pilot and an airline pilot :)
