Re: 421 into the trees on surveillance video

Golden Eagle, thanks for the imaginary performances of the 421...I have flown the 411 and the Piper Chieftain and had single engine pucker factors on both...Yes, the 411 will meet these performances but not the 421, being considerably heavier. The Navajo has the same numbers as the 421...so, seizing...

Re: Crash at Iles-de-la-Madeleine

"Rumours" have it some claim to have seen it fly UNDER power wires...Either he was loaded with ice or/and lost an engine...clearly a controlled crash...Keep in mind this design has no ailerons but spoilers...so if you use them instead exclusively of rudder for single engine control, guaranteed crash...

Re: Crash at Iles-de-la-Madeleine

When flown by properly trained pilots, the MU-2 is probably the best performing plane out there...however, just jumping in from a King Air or Twotter could get you in serious trouble if you get an engine loss on go around...There's no ailerons but spoilers...so unless you really, but really step in,...

Re: Jet fuel in piston aircraft

They fueled a Nordair FH 227 with sea water once at Cape Dyer(DEW line)The thing only ran to mid runway on take off, then flamed out.
That was the only time ever that we were glad the Rolls Royces guzzled so much fuel!

I think that there is a lot more going on with that operator than being "one minute" over a duty time limit......... I was not mentioning a specific case but a general policy...jet cargo operators all keep flying right to the limit...so you keep looking 12 months before to see if you dropped time s...

Re: Questions for Cessna and ultralight owners

Well, you need the 150 hp engine with the battery way back in the tail and extra large fuel tanks. They want $45,000 for that one straight back, not even painted: http://barnstormers.com/tmp_images/56/30/.watermarked_178998be771bbec55082d7854a2f542d.jpg http://www.barnstormers.com/Cessna,%20C-150+Ta...

The 150 or 140 on floats and wheel-skis will run you out of a lot of dollars...close to $100,000...never seen an amphib. Is there any?
