    Does the Citation ISP (CE501) require a Single Pilot Exemption/Waiver?

    The Single Pilot Exemption is for CE500's that requires two pilots, not for 501/551's. I did find this Q&A from 2000: "QUESTION 1: As per §61.43(b), our read on this new rule would allow somebody to qualify in a Cessna 500 or 550 for a CE-500 type rating and then operate a Cessna 501 or 551 as...

    That is the way it was when I got my type, not sure when it changed.

    Does the Citation ISP (CE501) require a Single Pilot Exemption/Waiver?

    The CE-500 type rating privileges is confusing. My understanding is If you took your checkride with two pilots you cannot fly a 500/551 single pilot. You would need another check, with an examiner I believe, to demonstrate that you can fly it SP. After that ride you should get a logbook entry...

    Short-Field Landings

    Back then it was called O'Brien Airpark, now it is called Moonbow. North of Waxahachie, TX, South of Dallas. Back then you could fuel your airplane and put a check in a cigar box in the terminal. Below is a picture of the terminal and the guy that used to farm the land before it was the airport...

    Short-Field Landings

    In the early 80's I instructed at an airport that had a 1200x16 foot concrete runway with 500 foot grass overruns at each end. When the students could consistently keep the aircraft on the concrete, they were ready for solo. They never had problems with short field landings on the check ride.

    KLN 90B help needed

    They must have made the military one different. In the early 90's we had a KLN-900 installed in the airplane I was flying. It was definitely front loading. You can see the card, bottom center. ABBPG.QXD (bendixking.com)

    KLN 90B help needed

    I have used it, but it was around 20 years ago, so I have forgotten what I knew. It worked well for what we did but changing out the database was not easy; can you still get them? I did find this video.

    Turbo Failed at FL210

    Good job and yes, the turbo probably seized up. I had this happen once in our C340 but was not as high as you. You also could have had a major exhaust leak before the turbo that could have caused a fire, hard to tell in flight.
