Re: All that's left..

I get up before sunrise and wander over to the plane with coffee in hand. I do my walk around, cleaning off bugs from the windscreen from the days work before.

Re: Now it's really stupid - no cabin bags allowed

They are also saying you will have to remain in your seat for 1 hour prior to landing. So you can walk around and attempt to blow up a plane during the flight but not when preparing for landing? Where is the logic in that one? If it has come down to every passenger being considered a threat, when a...

I don't think its during landing, looks more like a high speed turn.
Must have been an ex-bush pilot. They're merely step taxiing on wheels. Nothing to see here gents...move along.

Re: 185 nose over

By doing what Kirsten said in the 185 you can put a tremendous strain on the gear boxes,its better to make a large radius turn Absolutely. A large radius turn is standard finesse for ground operations. Along with rudder before braking. As for the original questions. If I were a betting man, I would...

Ah, he/she would be done for the season regardless. What's 10 days anyways. It's better seeing that over the ag pilots busted for the 8 hours bottle to throttle rule not too long ago. :wink:
