Contents

[edit] Contrubutions

My very first article is Baby Duck Syndrome.

I have also written Pacer (dinghy)

[edit] Grammar, spelling and language

I think that -ize is better than -ise and that lieutenant should be pronounced lewtenanat and not lefttenant.

I learn German, badly.

I believe that Latin is important.

[edit] Favourites

[edit] Props

My favourite light aircraft is the Cirrus SR22

My favourite large single is the Cessna 208

My favourite 19-seater is the Beech 1900D

My favourite tubroprop airliner is the ATR 72

My favourite tubroprop airlifter is the C-130 Hercules

[edit] Jets

Copilots get it easy.
Copilots get it easy.

My favourite small jet is the Premier IA

My favourite business jet is the Gulfstream 550

My favourite commerical jet is the Boeing 777

My favourite military airlifter is the C-5 Galaxy

My favourite USAF jet is the F-22 Raptor

My favourite USN jet is the F-14 Tomcat

[edit] Beliefs

It was a sad day when the Tomcat has was retired.

The Cessna 172 is an important aircraft, but is nothing compared to a Cirrus.

The best Cessna 172 year was 1981

Pilots should be able to override computers.

Boeing makes the best heavies in the world.

The USS George Washington is the best aircraft carrier.

Throttles should be next to the seat, not on the panel (Cessna 172 push in/pull out type).

The stick should move.

Clipboard clips are cool.

A yoke is not a steering wheel.

[edit] (Virtual) Adelaide to Californa Flight

I'm planing a virtual flight in a modified Cessna 208 Super Cargomaster.

The flight will be from Adelaide Int. (YPAD) to Edwards AFB (KEDW).

[edit] Flight Plan

The flight plan is as follows:

[edit] Modifications

While the Cessna Super Cargomaster is a good plane, I'll need to make the following adjustments in PlaneMaker and GIMP

  • Increase range to 2,500nm
This will be the trickiest part, because it's not just a matter of slapping more fuel in. I want to get exactly 2,500nm range, which gives me at least 100nm spare fuel on each leg.
  • Add more instruments
More backup radios, that sort of thing.
  • Repaint
Just plain white or grey even...

[edit] Software

The software that I'll be using is most likely the excellent X-Plane, or possibly Microsoft Flight Simulator X
