Re: Point of No Return - PNR
If you travel to the point of no return in a headwind, you are burning fuel/hr, and you make it to a point, x, (which would be less than in a no-wind situation). Now, when it's time to return, your headwind turns into a tailwind, and you can return quicker, (ie. your outbound leg will be longer tha...

Taildragger Crosswinds
Hey everyone, Just wondering what the best technique is for stiff crosswinds in a taildragger. I've heard a couple different things.

I'm a relatively green float pilot but a few days ago I was approached by my chief pilot and asked if I wanted to take over the PRM responsiblities for the company.
