Got a new addition to the Family

[Hank]

David, I rarely use the PC override button any more, unless practicing maneuvers (and not all the time then). The extra resistance reminds me to not overbank in the pattern. From my initial training, I do not use full flaps as SOP; Takeoff flaps on downwind, adjust as necessary on final. With wind like you had, full flaps would be a bad idea.

Welcome to the family! Have fun learning your new plane. It should be much simpler than a PC-12.

Where are you based?

Fly often and fly fast - congratulations on obtaining such a beautiful classic bird! PS. I am with Bob_Bellville - T-hangars-a-plenty here in Albemarle, NC (KVUJ) for $85/mo. or you can go deluxe for $200/mo. Most of the small airports around here will let you build your own hangar(s) with a 10-20-30 yr land lease that is very reasonable.

Wow! $85 per month for a hanger? I pay $230 for a run down piece of crap built in the 40s with a two inch clearance on the tail. Consider yourself lucky. O course, there are some guys in south Florida who probably think I'm lucky.

Correct Hector....you're lucky too!

 

Hangers down here are over $600/mt when you can find them

Hank,

As much as it pains me, the PC-12 is easier to fly I can be doing 200 kts at 7 miles out and still cross the numbers at 89 kts with flaps 30

I'm based at Chandler, AZ. I need Second Chances for my commute to work in Farmington, New Mexico.
