Premier down at Oshkosh

[NCherches]

It shows that Nascar people can not make right turns, one try and it nearly becomes fatal ...

:laugh:

Rumor only (from Gov sources) aircraft was extremely low on fuel and made an "unconventional approach" to get down before fuel ran out.

Easy to do in the Premier. Really true if he did not plan for extended low altitude ops. The Premier is really thirsty down low.

What's a 45min reserve in the Premier? For comparison's sake, its about 600lb in the CJ2+...

I can't get my hands on the flight planning guide at the moment, but my old marketing info indicates 747 lbs.

 

[NCherches]

600 in a CJ2+ will sometimes give ya the 'LOW FUEL' annunciator lights... id rather carry 1000lbs to keep that light from coming on ever, even if the extra fuel isn't usually required.

"In an interview published on the Roush Fenway Racing Web site, Roush said despite loss of sight in his left eye, a broken jaw and compression fracture of his back, he will fly again. In an August 13 interview on at the Michigan Speedway, Roush said, "The reality of it...on a trip arrival into Oshkosh, I was put in conflict with the flight plan of another airplane close to the ground and I was unable to address the conflict and keep the airplane flying. I ground-looped the airplane.""

WTF?

 

[Lynxman]

What you've never ground looped a plane because of conflicting traffic?

Ground loop; stall. Don't split hairs. Aren't they the same thing?

 

[75 Driver]

Don't you have to be on the ground to ground loop.
