Getting rid of the Navajo eliminated lots of that variance but it's still a crap shoot on what you get that day, and whether or not it works lol.

A150K, should I brush up on how to do an ADF approach? I haven't done one in a verrrry long time.

They're probably not going to check you on them in the sim (they didn't to anyone in my class), but if you're going to be based somewhere that is served solely by a GPS and NDB approach, you may want to brush up on them (pretty sure PDX is the only one. None of the airports served from ABQ have NDB approaches and I think the same may be true for PHX). That being said, it is my understanding that most PA-31's do not have working ADF's.

Some of the airports served during peak by the PA31 out of PHX are NDB only, at least they were 2 peaks ago when I was there.

The ticking sound of the HSI in the chieftan FTD still gives me nightmares.

It still does that. It flickers from time to time too.

Imagine spending 300 hours in that thing.

No. That would be cruel and unusual punishment, so therefore I will not imagine that

You resurrected the AMF thread after its peaceful death. You must be punished! @Derg

Just like on APC when it falls to page two and Ted bumps it lol

I'm here. Supposedly my base (ABQ) is the only fully staffed one in the system though..So much so, that we often have 4 reserves on the PA-31 each morning.

I would keep that to myself. You could end up wintering in Buffalo.

I would have to upgrade to the 99 before that happened

Or they move a PA-31 there, since there are so many pilots.

 

[tbstanto]

Or...it could even be worse. They make you winter in Puerto Rico with @UAL747400

I could actually handle that...I have family that lives in BQN and have spent a lot of time there.

The only reason ABQ is staffed is because that's really the only major piston base left. Everywhere else is all turbine so those will be more revolving doors.

Are the pa31s gone from PDX to?
