Usually only during the summer, landing with the bleeds in low is fine until you have to go around. In the summer, hot, heavy, and high (DEN) you would technically have to apply the APG bleed hit just as you would for T/O, as well as the climb performace would be severly degraded. Some time during approach fire up the APU and open the crossbleed and close the engine bleeds, this eliminates the performance problem.



How bout the "South of the Equator Crusader."

You guys forgot the all important......take the packs out of high BEFORE you go to idle.

-DING-
me - Yes miss flight attendant?

FA - the lav smoke detector is beeping and there's a smoke cloud that smells like burnt dust.

me - don't worry, I'll fix that....(stupid packs!! $#%&**& piece of sh^&)

me - ladies and gentlemen, we've had one of our air conditioning packs overheat, don't be alarmed, the smoke in the cabin will dissipate shortly and there is nothing wrong with the aircraft......(just the dumb pilot)

Lol, i'll remember that one for sure. Thanks for the heads up. Those Packs seem to be trouble makers at best. I guess the best policy would be to operate them on low with the Pack temp selector on max cold.

And you'll see your breath in the cockpit at 250. Hey, anyone mention the windshield heaters to you? Flip them on and the view goes cloudy. Trippy. You can almost feel them frying your nuts.

lol okay so whats the deal with the WS heat? How should we be using them to avoid any damage to you know where?

How about headsets? Can we use regular jet headsets or do we dig up those old DCs to avoid any futher heading loss.

During the start sequence can you hear interference from the ignition system in your headset?

Regards

If the nose section is anything like the EMB-145 (I've been told they are basically identical) then I believe you're gonna want those David Clamps. Otherwise you'll spend the entire flight shouting at each other and then be dead to the world when you get on the ground.

Thanks for that heads up. Which one generates cooler engine starts?
EEC ON or EEC OFF?
APU or GPU power assisted starts?

Regards

Cooler starts with EEC on. Cooler on APU. You'll need the full headsets. The -120 is the loudest airliner I've flown.
