THIS is why we fly...

This flight embodies why we fly! An easy departure out of McKinney, TX with smooth air and a smooth landing right at sunset. Jump in and see what it is like to slip through the air as the ground rises gently to meet our wheels!

Very nice! Safe flying.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply and info

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

Any time!

[@CockpitScenes]

That power management is way too much work for me. My standard fuel-saving profile is to bring the power all the way to idle at 41,000 ft. Also, for a stabilized approach I have to add "spooled up".

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

I work for a company called AERO-MACH based in Wichita, KS. We are an instrument MRO, a manufacturer and distributor. I call on customers of all three divisions. check us out at Aeromach.com

[@08turboSS]

I hate cessnas, that high wing is not good for landing in x winds and the gear is not far enough apart.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

I have heard this before, what is it about a high wing that makes it less capable of handling Xwinds?

[@08turboSS]

Fyi: small planes dont flare, they round out.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

You have my attention, please explain.

[@user-kx9rk3dh1d]

I always thought it was my fault as the pilot! @08turboSS are you telling me its the planes I fly? @@TheFlyingSalesman, how do you get yours to flare?

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

@@user-kx9rk3dh1d the same way I make the trees get smaller!
