Do ya have to open the crossbleed valves to get anti-ice?Steeler Fan said:It's a DC-9 type...and yes, you have to use a mirror to see the standby mag compass
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe they were flown as two seperate fleet types.ILStoMinimums said:Back when you flew -9's (can't remember if you still have any), was going back and forth on the line difficult? I'm thinking its probably like the WN guys flying all the 737 types.
No. There is no crossfeed valves on the 717 pedestal like we had on the DC-9. There is an isolation valve that must be "Open" while starting the left engine. It is a switch on the overhead panel. After the left engine start, the switch is placed in "Auto" and no other action is required.enigma said:Do ya have to open the crossbleed valves to get anti-ice?

I believe they only had one line of DC9, that was the -30. In any case, DC9 pilots flew the DC9 exclusively and B717 pilots flew the B717 exclusively. Thank GOD all the DC 9's were retired about one year ago. Now it is all 717's and 737-700's, with -800's hopefully arriving in the near future. Some of the marketing data put out to the public mentions AirTran as having the youngest all-Boeing fleet in the world. Sounds about right.ILStoMinimums said:Back when you flew -9's (can't remember if you still have any), was going back and forth on the line difficult?
