Putting things into perspective - finding employment with a CARS 705 airline required years of experience many years ago. It is a privilege to be sitting in the flight deck of an airliner that not many people can experience. By that logic, a medevac cockpit would be much more exclusive. There are w...

When the ENG start selector flips to AUTO, the ignitor's fire with LE slats extended or engine anti-ice on.
