250 knots below 10,000

Turn that radar on, draw the coastline and speed of heat until you enter US airspace! Although I haven't done that in quite some time.

Ever have a problem being stabilized doing that?

Never had a problem getting slowed to configure. Used to do it in the Lear 31 going into EYW on a regular basis. Flaps 8 could go out at 250 which was nice.

Also once asked for and received permission for >250 below 10k so we could pass a slow spirit Airbus and not have to slow to 200.

Maybe SouthernJet pilots are better at getting slowed and stabilized than pilots from the airline formerly known as Continental. ; )

I also hear that former 1900 pilots struggle with energy management because they really never had to use it when they operated that airframe. I can see that as a possibility due to the fact that a 1900 equates to nothing more than a big cessna. However, airline training departments around the world all praise how well former metro pilots handle energy management.

j/k

I agree it shouldn't be a problem if one needs to go fast below 10K and be stabilized for your approach.

However, someone thinks they know better than me.

 

[Seggy]

Nope.

Thank you.

I agree with you, some folks need to learn though.

The same someone that doesn't like to give compulsory reports to Havana I'm guessing?

I remember when I was young and would really give a poop what someone thought about me.

40's is fabulous and dispassionate indifference is an amazing gift of age.

Once you get a minivan caring what others think is far out the window

@Seggy,

Have you been unsuccessful in talking the wife into a suburban or something similar?

If you think that your friends primarily judge you by what you drive, you have problems.
If they actually do, you have even bigger problems.

Real friends care about your wellbeing and will try and at least talk you out of the minivan.

You can just imagine, then, what the sixties are like

The only thing he was successful in talking to the wife about was getting married.

A minivan has a similar stigma to the station wagon of the late 70's early 80's.

Hopefully Seggy doesn't become the modern day Clark Griswald.

Roger, pay attention! You missed the exit for Joke City! Now you've got to double-back!

Ummm...The family truckster is cool. Nobody will say that about a mini van.
