My Checkbook
is balanced!
I finally reached 1000 hours of flight time yesterday on my trip to LaGuardia, and today I fly into Washington DC for the first time with Obama as president. We'll see how it goes. My last Obama administration flight had an AHRS Fail with ATT mode 2 realignment problems which in turn led to Autopilot failure on the way there, and Eng 1 Impending Bypass on the way back. Hopefully this Obama administration flight will be better.
I turned on NPR this morning when I got up and bet myself that the first word I would hear would be Obama. Instead I was greeted by a nice symphony and some words about who wrote and played it. Don't gamble kids, you'll lose.

Congrats on the 1000 hours!
AHRS failure... wowzers. Only ever had simulated stuff like that in training. I imagine things were just a slight bit more interesting on that trip. Be thankful for backup systems! :)
It wasn't really bad at all since we were in visual conditions (at FL290) and since it was only the #2 system that failed. I lost all my display data for a few minutes, but the Captain's and the standby system were unaffected.
