We did one auto. Not full down, but enough to get a feel for it. Honestly I think the Robinson was better composed during it than the ENG Jetranger I used to back seat in. Then again maybe it's just because I'm older now and have scared myself in airplanes enough that it's not as eye opening any...

That 210 kt restriction is interesting. It's on the Jepps, too: I wonder if they meant at or less than 210; that's a pretty high restriction. It looks like it's JUST inside the Bravo, though: So no irregularity with the >200, other than how are most piston singles supposed to...

The video proof: The story: This past summer someone on here pointed out a deal on TravelZoo for 50% off a helicopter discovery flight here in Denver. My wife, the wonderful woman she is, noticed that I had the webpage open for about a week and asked if I wanted it for my birthday...

I have pictures of mine. When all you fly is turboprops, seeing 500 is a noteworthy life-event! :yes:

Ground speed, right? 387 - Beech 1900 Saab, I'm not sure. Probably 120 on a good day. 508 - Pistachio P-180 512 - Dash 8. I have a picture of that one somewhere.

Ground speed wise, I've stopped and backed up in both a Skyhawk (really windy day in Iowa) and a Seminole (mountain wave trying to get to, then through Banning Pass). It's fun watching the 430 in the Seminole trying to figure out what the crap is going on when you hover it.

By any chance, did the author also write about how he used to have to walk to school, in snow, uphill both ways? And then yell at those damn kids to get off his lawn?

That's true for the 1900, and probably for the KAs, but the Dash actually turns MUCH slower (at least the 400 series). 1020 rpm for TOGA, 900 rpm for climb, 850 rpm for cruise. It is a very quiet airplane on the outside (as far as TPs go).

:rofl::yes: That was SERIOUSLY impressive. Great find.

Because Beech is in bankruptcy. No? Wrong Baron?

:rofl::rofl: You make me sound so mean, Clark! I know I left at LEAST the clock and the tach. For the record, Clark did an excellent job, in spite of less than ideal conditions (some environmental, some due to me being evil). Always a pleasure flying with you, Clark; I look forward to...

Great finds, that was cool. I too was expecting something V-22 related, but this was just as neat.

:rofl: Seems perfectly plausible! FWIW, I should have said full time vs. part time towered. Either way, though, Jepp doesn't put it on theirs. Makes Chris' scenario seem quite likely.

Are you looking at a non-towered airport? Perhaps it's there so you know who to call to cancel.

I don't THINK there would be any force majeure here. They have used the phrase "voluntary" several times. That's not to say they won't try to make that argument, though, I suppose. Employee. I'm just finishing up dinner, I'll PM in a few. Thanks! Not all of the rumors I've heard are...

That's my thought, reading through the WARN guide online. Very open ended definitions. But I'm also legalese inept.

Regarding workers' rites and WARN notices. Anyone willing to PM (pro bono)?

:yeahthat: I'm 6'3", 220. There is nothing good about that ride! Not even the A side. The curve in the fuselage at the bottom torques the crap out of my knee. I've got about an hour in one of those planes before I start to get cranky. With the absurd way they're being utilized now, if you're...

I'm all in favor of just about anything that involves the destruction of one of those torture chambers...errr...ERJs.

Indeed it is. Much bigger than most people assume. Roughly the size of three houses, in fact:
