    Phenom 100 info

    I flew it for a couple of years. Got about 600 hours in it. Four words: dangerous piece of crap. KSU is accurate on all accounts. Pax hated the seats. The don't recline more than a few degrees and the don't move laterally or fore/aft. Crapper is difficult to service at best. Performance is...

    Phenom 300

    It won't change anything. I've seen and flown the new set up. It's pretty slick. If you understand G1000, G3000 is intuitive.

    Phenom 300

    Great airplane. Plenty of power, range, speed, payload, etc. No TRs, but great brakes and auto spoilers on the ground. Good cabin. Lots of baggage space. I've got a couple of hundred hours in it. Really miss flying it. Much better than its POS little brother Phenom 100.

    Pilots Who Have Left Fractionals for Airlines or Corporate - Happier?

    Left a frac back in October. Went to the FAA. Much better quality of life, better pay after the first year, awesome bennies, about as stable a job as you'll ever find. No regrets and no desire to go back. I still get to fly a little and most importantly, I get to see my kids grow up.

    Customs in South Texas

    I've used LRD several times. Always a good stop. FBO comes over to Customs too...brings fuel, catering, whatever. I've heard Del Rio is good as well, but have never used it.

    PC-12 max cruise power true airspeeds?

    What year PC-12? And how much time is on the engine? Sounds like your engine might be run out. We never ran hotter than 720 in cruise and always saw 260ish in the high teens, 240-250 in the low-mid 20's.

    PlaneSense / Alpha Flying

    I used to fly the PC-12 that is in that video. Pretty slick paintjob. The pilot flying is a PC-12 salesman, they were going to BJC to spec out a new PC-12 probably.

    PC-12 Operating costs?

    The company that I worked for chartered them out at about $1300/hr. Fuel burns are 500 pounds the first hour, then 450-350 for the remaining hours depending on how high you go. If you take it into the upper 20's, you can get 350pph fuel burns. Just taking a WAG at the DOCs, probably...

    Unusual airline call signs

    The B-2's use "Death" and "Czar". E-3's out of Tinker use Sentry. The F-15's out of STL use "Bud" and "Mich". I heard "War Pig" this afternoon.

    Tricks of the Trade

    For turboprop cruising altitudes, take your distance and add two zeroes. Example: Going 150 miles, cruise at 15,000 ft. Going 220 miles, cruise at FL220. Adjust as necessary for direction of flight, etc.

    PC-12 Pilatus question.

    I've done it both with the PC12 and a King Air 90. It's not the best thing in the world for the prop, but if you're in a pinch, it'll get the job done.

    Great B-2 Photos

    I gave a Baron checkout to a guy who was a mission planner in the 509th Bomb Wing at Whiteman. A few weeks later, he called me and asked if I wanted to take a tour of the B2 and fly the simulator. So of course, I took him up on it. There's quite a bit of room in the cockpit, including a...

    Challenging or educational approaches

    ILS 07 at KORL: http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0603/00305IL7.PDF If you miss early, you might have to descend first to get down below an MAA. How's things at CMSU? Chris
