Man, I am just not making any friends this week...

To take a shot at defending myself (even though I'm sure it wont help) I was simply trying to let someone know the capabilities and my sense of the plane when they asked. I wasn't advocating being unstable or unsafe on approach, just trying to let people know that the airplane slows down really quick so you don't have to be quite as ahead of it on the descent as a jet. Or you can fix a situation where atc left you high and fast really easily. The no chart thing wasn't meant to be "don't ever look at your charts", it was simply a response to someone else complaining about no FMS. I was saying that /A is just fine on our routes because once you know them a little you have plenty of situational awareness without the big moving map display and the navigation is really easy and you don't have to spend a lot of time messing with the box.

I'm sure I wouldn't have stepped on as many toes having said this in person but once again the internet makes everything a grey area. Or maybe I am just a crummy writer.


ColganGuy and What,

The safety and comfort of my passengers is, and always will be my number one concern in aviation. Not my own enjoyment, pay, or mission completion. I do this job because I believe that I have something of value to add to the operation and safe, reliable air transportation is my goal. I'd be happy to have myself and MY wife in the back of your airplane. Please feel free to PM me if you like, Ill tell you who I am and we can talk more if you like.
