Turrists!

I'd be more willing to bet "flightsimmer" before going with the whole "suspicious" thing. ;)

How dare I think otherwise.... you would think that I would know this information by now especially with whats around the corner for me.... speaking of which... how is it going for you? I expect some good beta from y'all....

Since this is the most suspicious thread of 2010...I'll post a picture of the chicken I grilled the other night.

If I just engage it and not doing anything, it looks like it goes through a self test. Is this correct?

Thanks for your help!

There is no A/P test for the Saab. Touching the trim switches on the yoke will disconnect it every time. What are the other ways to disconnect it? This is a test.

Are you testing the trim override function built into the captains switch? One up, the other down?

Seriously, who flies Saabs? Can I get a job? :)

I think there's a patch you can download to fix that issue.

All that time spent in ground school, ORAL, SIM, Checkride, OE..and you have to come to a public forum and ask a question like this?

OH Yeah...you are ready to upgrade!
