Birds......

After you were notified, you should have sent them back a letter stating that a flock of birds flew in front of you and you kept power in for the safety of the flight..........

Damn, when did everyone in the frac board become a bunch a__holes. This really has turned into another regional board.

When all the regional a__holes jumped ship to the fracs.

If that didn't make me laugh so hard, I'd be offended or something...

Oh no, you mean I have to level off at 2 or 3 thousand feet? Sounds difficult.

In the LR60 it can be. 15 degrees nose up and 200 knots you will be thru 2000 ft in no time because you are climbing at better then 6000 fpm.

The LR60 is a fine performing airplane, and unusually sporty when it is light. But what you're describing is the need to modify your technique for the requirement at hand. At SMO that sporty performance becomes a welcomed asset. A captain with 100 hours in that airplane should be able to comfortably start pulling the power back and shoving the nose over in plenty of time to whisper by the noise sensors - especially if they're light.
