When I was a Brasilia pilot and later an E75 pilot forced to deadhead on Barbie's Nightmare, I had to remind myself of this fact.Gotta love when that gear comes down. It literally sounds like the end of the world is near. Oh, and those brakes. I wonder if triple nickel is still around.![]()
"Buzzsaw 4166, Chicago Center, please expedite through FL 270.""ASQ1234 I'm going to need your best rate of climb through 7"
"Approach this is our best rate"
"Oh."

Earlier today center asked us to maintain at least 1500fpm through fl230![]()
This!!! Landing on 22R made it 2x as worse, before they resurfaced that side.It sounds and feels like your landing in something some neighborhood kids pieced together.
I'm getting acquainted with both the Global 6000 and the Challenger 300. The amount of automation on the Global is on a level that I've never encountered as a mechanic, not even a G650. The Challenger leaves a bit more up to the pilot. Which one would you think is easier to work on?I bet I take a metro IN the 1900 any day!
There are a couple of CL30s and a Global 6000 here at the home drome and this is in par with everything I hear about them. They're pretty slick.
Its about the only airplane I don't even bother looking up at. If I see its a CRJ I go back to what I was doing. The most uninspiring POS airplane every to grace the skies.
NahDoes that also include the 700/900?

All good points. As long as the paychecks keep coming I'll keep telling ATC "unable" when they make a fpm request.
Whenever I deadhead in back my guilty conscience asks is this what I really do to people?
