    Toilet Paper

    The paper is easy, but they keep wanting to put the tube on the outside.

    Toilet Paper

    I’m tired. We’re busting our asses to get eggs to the stores. We’re shipping eggs same day they’re laid. The pivot my industry is attempting is daunting, and the regulatory hurdles and logistics are challenging. All while wondering what restriction is next. The childcare problem sucks...

    Toilet Paper

    We usually have the eggs to the distribution center within three days of lay. I can assure you that a lot of eggs laid this morning are on the road this afternoon.

    My company supplies the eggs for approx 1000 Walmart stores. It has been an interesting week.

    Citation lost contact falcon field

    I own and fly a 425 Conquest. I have around 1700TT and 700 turbine. Just completed my fifth renewal which was, by far, the most difficult- including the initial application which I moved up from a 310 with zero turbine. It took a small battle to keep my increase to only 36%. p.s. quit...

    *Big* Step-Up Planes?

    PA-161 -> PA-32-301 -> C310 -> C425 As @N747JB said, the jump from HP single to twin was the biggest jump in terms of both operation and ADM.

    Cessna 425 vs KingAir C90?

    I’m in an interesting situation that drove my choice. My local charter op/fbo had 4 425’s that they used for medical air taxi and charter. I had an ideal situation that meant I had knowledgeable Mx, spares on the shelf, and ready pilots for missions when I, or others, needed to sit in the back...

    Any car collectors looking for something rare?

    Z06’s are fun - I do get to play with a few fun Mustangs too! I love to talk airplanes and cars, and we’re right in the middle of a little winter TLC time at the shop. Pilots are welcome for a tour if you stop by KSXK for some fuel. Eggman

    Conquest I

    Only installed in the very last conquests. AP was used in the Citation and is rumored to be well supported and a great performer in the Conquest.

    SE PoA - Who's flying today?

    Took 100ktas+ on the nose for the better part of an hour before I decided to spend the fuel and go low. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N425XP/history/20191201/1815Z/KJWN/KSXK/tracklog

    Who Flies Real IFR?

    There are numerous and varied reasons to trust a turbine over a piston.

    Who Flies Real IFR?

    Same as a twin turbine.

    Who Flies Real IFR?

    I’ll tackle about anything legal in the Conquest except a severe icing forecast. In a piston twin I’ll be more cautious with ice and t-storm avoidance, but will still shoot to minimums. I won’t do night or below 1000-3 in a piston single.

    New small turbines, 200hp in the works

    Kent, I'd be concerned that the motor, wait, motor is killing your battery life and making a trend to hotter starts more likely. IOW, seems a little self defeating to me, and probably causes more frequent battery replacement. These batteries are generally damn expensive, but I have absolutely...

    New small turbines, 200hp in the works

    On the Conquest, I motor until I'm below 100°C and then light it off. It only takes a few extra seconds vs. a cold start, but certainly decreases the top temp. I've only done about 1000 starts on PT-6's, but have yet to see one go past continuous cruise ITT limit even on a very short turn.

    I can only guess the translation is supposed to be “deep yolk temperature”.
