STD return

Hoping I can get a quick answer from someone that knows:
I am returning from a short term leave and am just out of 90 day currency. Will I just need to do three bounces in the sim or will it be a full check ride? Just need to get caught up, but not on Jepps

Thanks....back to the bottom of the list

If no longer current, you will do a minimum of two days in the sim with an LOE.

Are you sure? That is definitely the answer if you are out of qual currency, but I think if you are out of nothing more than landing currency, it is one sim with no LOE. But I don't know for sure.

If he's beyond 90 days, its basically recurrent with an loe.

That is a great picture of the -9.

Yep. Externally, it's sometimes hard to tell the two apart. A couple of other things to look for... The 88 has a rear galley service door on the left side in front of the left engine. And if you get a good look at the tail, each elevator has one more tab ("anti float tab") than the DC-9 does.

That is a really great picture of the -9. Thanks FTB!!!

You get a full deal sim ride with V1 cuts... it's a checkride. If you were under the 90 days, it would just be 3 bounces... sorry..

I was out 5 and a half months and it was 3 bounces a v1 cut and an Autoland to a landing. I was told it was non jeopardy. The only downside is you come back to a reserve line for the first month.

Yeah, see.. you live down in the rich section of the county...

Up here where I qualify as being a redneck (Under at least 3 of Jeff Foxworthy's criteria) one can find reasonable H2Ofront.... No Barney drivers up here.
