Re: Hot starts

My stepson got checked out recently on the Cessna 207/210. For his check flight the first thing the chief pilot did was to flood the engine. She said that if you ever get stuck, flood the engine and do a flooded start. These are continental engines, not sure if that makes a difference. He is working...

Re: Flying Videos

After the cloud surfing...the lower clouds cleared so I was given a visual approach into Albury, RWY 07. Note the QantasLink Dash 8-300 holding at Echo RWY 07.




Safe flying

Re: Another DA42-VI

Hi Eric

Congratulations on the safe arrival of your new plane! I have to say it looks a lot better than when I last saw it.

I am hoping to finalise a deal with the flying school this week so that I can do the deal on the DA 42.

Safe flying.

Re: One-four-zero knots

Hi Antoine Can we highlight these flights in the report section as well? Or perhaps we can record the report section number. This way we can cross reference the other data eg altitude and OAT. Flying tomorrow and it's going to be 43 degrees Celsius. I will try the 140 TAS and WOT. I am very interest...
