Not Eric. Smallest AC we have is my King Air 300.Duderino said:Hey Eric, sounds like you are working at a company that has one.
Yeah, it was that Fred. He had been with Salmon for about 2 months. Very sad.Secret Squirrel said:The reason I am writing is the name of one of the pilots sounds familiar. Was this Fred Villanova who use to fly the 99 at Ameriflight in SLC?
I hate to hear it. He was really a great guy. Very friendly and very helpful when I was a new guy. He had a ton of experience in the be-99. They have a lot more power and much more solid in ice.bustedstuff said:Yeah, it was that Fred. He had been with Salmon for about 2 months. Very sad.
Yes, we do lower the weight. 600 HP caravans are now lowered to 7600 mtow, they were using 7800 lbs before. The 675 HP is lowered to 8000 mtow.Kingairrick said:FN FAL,
I'm puttin' it together here. Do you lower the max takeoff weight in the Caravan in icing conditions? In the King Air, we just have to stay above the minimum icing airspeed (140KIAS) so ice doesn't form on the bottom of the wing behind the boots. That's what I thought you were implying in your previous post.
