What's it like to fly a J31/32?

hire_me,

Who are you going to fly for?

It's a great airplane to fly...you'll be ready for any interview sim when the time comes!

Every post sounds right on! The song is great!! I will put a copy of that in the crew room.
I love flying the Jetstream. TRIM-TRIM-TRIM!
While on approach scanning your ASI is as important as your ADI. Set your torque and keep it in your scan also. Pitch for airspeed and power for V/S.
Try using the A/S on the FD when ATC has you maintain a A/S in a decent. It helped me a lot when I was new.

There are two sayings that you can live by while flying the pig:

1) No mater what altitude your at, if you can see the numbers you can make it!

2) The Jetstream is the only airplane you can jump out of, and it will still beat you to the ground!

I can't tell ya what it's like to fly, but I can tell you what its like to ride on....

LOUD AS HELL!

So loud in fact, it broke the right speaker in my Lightspeed 20XL when I was sitting in 1B plugged in up front. Some of the 3C jetpigs have leaky door seals, and you can hear a constant whistle if you are sitting in the back.

I have had pilots tell me that if you can fly *and land* the Jetstream, anything else is a piece of cake. Pilots seem to really like it. Good luck!

belch - do you know of any J32 operators that are hiring?

 

[BoilerUP]

Not the esteemed Belchfire, but I do believe my very own Corporate Airlines is hiring. Do a search of the last 30 days, you should find a very nice thread about being a pilot for Corporate.

Pan AM here in the NE and I think in FL or the Carib. Maybe just the CASA in the Carib. I tink they are old Chautauqua JS.
