I would amend that to speak in distance not duration. Mooney’s can go a lot faster per unit time... efficiency = effective useful load... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I fly a Mooney ovation. With your specs I’d be looking at a baron 55 or Cessna 310... just invest in the recurrent training... Useful load is the reason. If you are ok with 4 aboard only for flights of an hour or less give or take, then maybe a Bravo.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Having been caught off guard by slaving issues departing into low IMC with that same or similar unit in a Cessna twin, please become very familiar, understanding slaving and it’s issues, and check it before flight - before you fly IFR. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Best Garmin Avionics shop in the North East?

I’ve had excellent work done by Islip Avionics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Yeah an approach is surveyed to know what gps altitudes work... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Though gps altitude itself often isn’t that accurate... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The video shows well below 500 feet. FlightAware altitudes aren’t super accurate. They are gps altitudes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like it was the Airmods rental J.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s why training is so important in a twin, a dual engine failure was only one lever away Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Vmc roll is because of the good engine not because of the dead one. And lack of speed meaning lack of rudder authority. Pulling power is the other way to arrest roll. Fly it to the ground... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Twins like that are easily off in 1000, especially if rotated slow. I don’t see a nose drop, and to get a stall at full power in a plane like that it would have to be a much steeper climb I’d think. Looks all roll... See this photo? That’s at Vx on a training flight at altitude, around 15kts above stall/Vmc with two spinning... climb angles can be impressive... until an engine quits...

High power and slow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My day job is flying twins. You increase your danger by climbing steeply and trading climb rate for airspeed that is closer to Vmc. Combine that with a low altitude engine failure and you’re gonna roll. I generally go for a faster lower angle departure for just that reason. But there is a simple solution to Vmc roll - close the throttles, roll stops. If you’re going inverted too late to diagnose, pull em both back and look for a spot to land just like a single. I have no idea how slowly or steeply he was climbing out, just speaking generally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone available in Eastern MA as a check pilot?

You mean safety pilot? Where in eastern MA? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
So does that mean a G3X install with a G5 backup would also be allowed for fiki? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve also heard hard IMC, which would to your point be more apt! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The hard in this term doesn’t really refer to the difficulty meaning of hard... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A “hard left” isn’t a difficult one, it’s a particularly complete one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hard IFR has always meant to me “total IMC”, as in you don’t see a thing. Not necessarily to mins. But when in total IMC for a while that’s “hard ifr”. Not because it’s hard as in difficult but because it’s total. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My guess is not approved for FIKI airplanes... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s disturbing because it’s reliant on something external to the airplane. Did you see the huge areas of gps disturbance courtesy of the us military this week? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
