A. Type one there’s a limitation against T/O and Landing with it one (IE the amber prop sync enunciator) type 2 has no limitation and therefore no enunciator.
There's also an electrical module by the left rudder pedals that says what type.

You gotta like that. It would take a little negative pressure off your shoulders.

300 Knots - 5.0 miles per minute 270 - 4.5 240 - 4.0 210 - 3.5 180 - 3.0 150 - 2.5 120 - 2.0 Want to loose 16,000' at 2000' per minute at 240 knots. 16/2 = 8 minutes 8 minutes * 4 miles per minute = 32 miles. I'm terrible at math but still find this method really easy.

(b) Reporting of Ceilings

A ceiling is the lesser of the height at which cumulative layers of cloud or smoke a loft obscure 5/8 or more of the sky, or the vertical extent of the visibility as viewed through a surface-based obscuring condition, such as smoke or fog.

$7000 as a bonus, Okay zaac now I'm jealous. I can barely make that between flying and my other job as "Fellatio The Flying Clown!" It was only $4835 after taxes. I was trying to brag a little. I'm a bit bitter after I couldn't pay the bills flying. Cheap ass owners should be ashamed of themselves.
