You can't seriously be suggesting that an experienced crew messed up the fuel flow numbers? Low fuel lights would probably have been glaring well before Mackenzie. Low fuel lights in a King Air? There are low fuel pressure lights which are master warnings, but when those go on, you don't have much ...

This is one of the few situations where I whole heartedly endorse the use of home flight simulators. If your actual flying of the aircraft is up to snuff and you just want to practice IFR - grab x-plane and sign up for vatsim. It'll give you all the ifr practice you need and allows you to jump aroun...

Ah good, workaround, that's what I like to see. Just wait until you discover pencil whipping, you can get around all sorts of inconvenient requirements.

But, is there more maintenance or wear on the engine than a naturally aspirated version - disclaimer: I don't know, just speculating.

The AFM in looking at says: Normal Climb: 2. Power -- 25"Hg or FULL THROTTLE (which ever is less) And Maximum Performance Climb 2. Power -- Full Throttle and 2700 RPM Why don't the Boeings always takeoff at full rated power, and climb at full rated power? Engine longevity, fuel consumption, etc etc....

Rent 36000 36.... Thousand? 3 grand a month in rent? I'm no rocket surgeon, but that seems pretty high. Decent used car payment, gas, insurance, repairs 12000 Again..... 1000 per month? You buying an old M3 and driving it like you stole it? To someone's point above... If you can't live COMFORTABLY ...

Not you. All the 1 post repetitious wonders behind you.

What bot filled hell hole is this thread? Mods should lock this.

if you don't do that, you get rewarded with a STALL warning and a shaker and in her departure, low WX. Would that set up give you a stall warning and shaker for the entire flight, regardless of airspeed? Or just initially and then subside once you were above the adjusted shaker speed? It reads to m...

equipped with the TKS anti-ice/de-ice system as opposed to the older model’s pneumatic boot system. I’ve never flown a caravan but have heard stories from pilots who have about how bad the boot equipped planes can be in icing, anyone with experience on how the TKS equipped planes handle icing?

There are already 4 registered in Canada.

I'd say go somewhere you'd be happy to stay for a while. That way when the music stops or if you get PFO'd, you're already somewhere you want to be.

Hey mods, do you like spam? Because this is how we get spam.

Secondly, why are you defending this guy?? The only time he had to chime in to a conversation was to insult? If he c...

They used to advertise that it was a "wide-bodied" Cessna. I'm a little disappointed they don't anymore.

The plane is so huge it's taking up a lot of airport real estate, the Canadian government has no right to make up laws to steal another countries property, namely Russia, and Ukraine belongs to Russia no matter what the americans or canadians say, Why is the Canadian government letting these foreig...

Remember, we've landed a car (rover) on another planet, with a sky crane... without a pilot or GPS and sent the footage back in HD... which is fucking nuts.

Just saying. crazier things have been done than no GPS navigation for computers.

This was my thought also. Maybe not finished, but will set it back a generation probably.

Sort of like the first crash without a flight Engineer!

Just say no kids.

I did not!

Seems like a good way around flat pay. Likely not approved, but that would be a brilliant scheme for someone with a good job, who doesn't want to take a massive pay cut for the eventual higher salary.
