See it on top there? Not a GNS480! Yet in the biggest A/C in the world!
But who wouldn't fly it in a heart beat!?!?!?! I love Russian planes!

Oops, you're right. I forgot a cardinal rule. I did remember the GPS though!

Indeed costermonger, what is with the curtains? Now all they need to be real Russians is the fans in the cockpit, maybe an antiquated GPS on the glare shield and a hat like this!...

just got a revision..."some 3,000 pilots" apparently....thought it would have been more.

these were ruff numbers from an ac friend a few months back, but around 5,000.

How about some answers too!

Piper Aerstar - Ford Aerostar Robinson Astro - Ford Astro Lockheed Aurora - Olds Aurora Grumman Avenger - Dodge Avenger Marquart Charger - Dodge Charger Bellanca Champ - Austin Champ Cirrus - Chrysler Cirrus Cessna Conquest - Chrysler Conquest Aerospatiale and Gulfstream Cougar - Mercury Cougar Rans...

Bombardier Challenger - Dodge Challenger Dassault Falcon - Ford Falcon Douglas Dakota - Dodge Dakota Lockheed and Israel Galaxy - Ford Galaxy Israel Astra - Pontiac Astra Piper Vagabond - Kaiser and Frazer Vagabond Rockwell Lancer - Mitsubishi Lancer Sud Caravelle - Plymouth Caravelle Canadair Yukon...

You know what makes this easier...

Aircraft - "ABC 123 is requesting the OPTION for the contact."

Controller - "ABC 123, the option for the contact is approved."

Use it if you can, if not, just takes perhaps an extra couple of minutes for the approach.

correct.

The Dude, I've been over there and many other mountains a few hundred feet over the tops, and it's been smooth as glass; other times bumpy as hell 2000' above or more. My suggestion to you is to check the GFA's, Pireps and SIGMETS for the day. Out flow wind days...BAD! Early morning can be a good ti...

definately not right.
numbers are right for a mojave, maybe someone made a mistake on that site.
don't have the POH with me, but those numbers could be right at say... 20,000' with the power bumped up a bit.
But then again, how many operators run a Chieftain at 20,000'?!?!?!

fine by me...keeps us all safer ultimately.
reduces potential pressure on pilots from owners.
i like it.

co-joe... don't forget The Lynard Skynard Band, Reba McEntire's band, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rick Nelson, Randy Rhoads (Ozzy's lead guitarist), Jim Croce, Otis Redding and his band, Jim Reeves, Buddy Clark, Glen Miller,...just a few off the top of my head. God rest their soles... they were all great (u...

445 is out of calgary and then edmonton usually right?
and it's more often the fokker i think, although both aircraft do the route.
so i would assume it was the f-28.

Google just aquired KeyHole, that is where they have aquired the technology from.

Ahhh, Flying Low has got the ticket! I hope that's how most people think.

Wadd, as Swamp Donkey and snagmaster_e say, leave it at home, that's what I would expect! Common Sense. Especially if one does not have a backup. Don't get me wrong, I do feel sorry for information_x-ray, that sucks. Wadd, where do you live, what do you leave in your car? Wallet, signed blank cheque...

I know this isn't going to help information_x-ray, little to late......but, for everyone else............ It absolutely boggles my mind how careless some pilots seem to be with with three of their most valuable possessions....headset, licences and log book. They are your lively hood, and it must be ...

definatelt not a cessna, it's t-tail, don't know what it is though

oh yeah, they are not a small plane, designed for transport of course.
empty around 40,000 pounds, and gross at around 75,000 i think.
