Hawker 800 training.

Did sim 1 today. Usual preflight, cold airplane, engine start, normal take off, stalls, steep turns, unusual attitudes, autopilot ILS, hand flown ILS, landings, taxiing, and ended with some V1 cuts. Airplane is very light and touchy on controls. V1 cuts are crazy easy and can be flown with your feet on the floor.

Tomorrow will be aborts and aborted starts with some failures. Will have a better update then. Beer now.

That must be a lot to keep track of. Especially with a fake Swede sitting on your lap.

Ha! I actually sent Derg a picture of her I found that Kristie took!


Luckily though we don't fly the proline 21. That would be a biz natch!
 
I'm not sure what the difference is between proline 21 and proline 4, but the proline 4 was easey-peasey-lemon-squeezy after a few weeks on the line. I mean, I'm sure it can do all kinds of stuff I never learned, but "Direct too" isn't too hard to figure out...

I mean, I admit that I had a few smartass whipersnapper F/Os show me totally unnecessary stuff I COULD do with it, if I had two brain cells to rub together, but really, just the "get there" items aren't a whole lot more complex than a 530.

That said, they did seem to pull all the trashy tail.
