    +1. Anyone who goes after a job based on the type of equipment flown is likely one of those people who drives around with foglights on when it's not foggy.

    Classic 2000 vs 2000 EX

    Agree 100%. My favorite airplane. But it is just a wee but underpowered.

    That's funny right there. And yeah, never trust a 7X pilot.

    A classic... Not so much.

    Collins Pro-Line 4 Westbound Oceanic

    He's talking about the oceanic clearance, not the flight plan. Call ARINC and your flight planning service and tell 'em you want to be able to pick up your oceanic clearance Westbound via AFIS and they'll take care of it. We have a ProLine4 Falcon 2000 and it worked fine the last time we were...

    Best Corporate Flight Departments

    It's because if one of us worked at "THE flight department", we'd still be there flying happily ever after. The 'conventional wisdom' or 'rumor' or whatever usually has no relationship to the actual conditions at a given flight department because you have to be there and live there and fly...

    Best Corporate Flight Departments

    That would be where I work, which, like most really good flying jobs, has never been heard of, will never have an advertised opening, and has an insanely low turnover.

    Lufthansa nav database??

    Update after using it for a month and a half. Some minor differences that are noticeable, like a fix 2 miles outside the FAF on an ILS if you select 'vectors', but every approach, SID, STAR, etc. that we've wanted has been there, and absolutely no problems. We think it's a good deal.

    Navaid id?

    We always do. It's a bit old-fashioned, but it only costs you 10 seconds, And it could save your @$$ some dark and stormy night. The ident displayed on our airplanes (different types) is from the DME.

    Lufthansa nav database??

    Interesting. We played with it a little bit this weekend, looking at arrivals and departures at half a dozen airports that we use regularly, and they were line-for-line identical to the Jeppesen ones. The airplane's for sale, so hopefully some other lucky bastard will be flying it before too...

    Nextant Beechjet

    Nope. Just don't worry too much about what others think. Fly your mission the way it should be flown and don't worry about the pilot's worst enemy (the aircraft salesman) or the knuckleheads in magazine articles.

    Lufthansa nav database??

    Thanks for that info. Very interesting. We've got it loaded now and will be flying it for a month to see what we think. I'll post any big problems.

    80 kt call out

    I salute you, Sir. I respect a guy who disagrees with me.

    80 kt call out

    Because it's true.

    80 kt call out

    That's a bad attitude to have if you're flying a jet. Just sayin'.

    Lufthansa nav database??

    It was something like 20% less than the Jepp database for the Collins 6000s in our Hawker 800XP.

    Lufthansa nav database??

    Thanks for the response. I think we're going to try it.

    Lufthansa nav database??

    Anybody using Lufthansa for FMS database instead of Jeppesen? Advantages? Disadvantages? Thanks.
