That is hugh! And series!
He prolly meant blud preshir.
I fly those size planes weekly (live in Ventura, work part-time in San Francisco, thus a weekly round trip from LAX to SFO). It takes 35 minutes, best case, to turn around a plane. Typically 45 minutes.
That’s fuelling, inspection, paperwork. Cleaning happens too but typically is done faster than the rest.
Private plane, without lots of passengers, you might pull 5 minutes off that, so maybe 30 minutes if it’s quick.
Lol, sorry Mr. K...I completely didn’t get that!
I think that is what my wife sometimes means when she says “Wait...you don’t get it...”
I have to say, I only know military systems, and those things leaked all the time!
LOL...ah. Damn Chevy Chase, too bad he is such a mentally defective moonbat.
He has ruined for me nearly every movie I have seen him in because of his politics, much the way I can’t enjoy any movie with OJ Simpson in it, though for different reasons.
LOL, I should keep my yap shut and leave the speculation on this to people who know how civilian craft operate...
I tend to see it from the perspective that all the work goes into the airworthiness after the plane lands and the crew hand in their gripe sheets which are all worked until the plane is ready again for flight, everything is topped off, and it is just waiting for a pilot to jump in because it is ready to go.
I can understand how a 737 would take longer to preflight than a fighter.
I don’t begrudge the rich their wealth except in the case of Hillary, it is ill-gotten gains that make her rich. Cattle futures, money from China, influence peddling, etc.
Huh. I had no idea airliners could fly VFR no flight plan. Could a 747 or 737 do it, and if so, what kinds of trips...are the limited to a certain distance or something?
Obama will say that it has nothing to do with Congress. He will say there can be no vote either in Congress or in the states, because the Dems have no candidate.
Nah, you just file IFR but Direct instead of waypoints. ATC will vector them. If it’s IFR conditions, ATC vectors them onto a final approach path. If VFR, ATC gets them near the airport and the crew lets them know when it’s in sight.
Planning-wise, filing direct is just as valid as any other means. ATC may change it, but they akways have that right.
Educational...now I know!
Inter island flight.
presumably you think she should have walked on water?
“Huh. I had no idea airliners could fly VFR no flight plan. Could a 747 or 737 do it, and if so, what kinds of trips...are the limited to a certain distance or something?”
Generally only done for maintenance or reposition of aircraft. I have flown around Atlanta on a VFR only flight, and it was an airliner, not a private plane. (It was a test flight, and we had to return after losing one of our 2 engines)
Jets are very fuel inefficient below 18,000 ft, so rarely travel there for any distance, above 18,000 requires IFR clearance.
For that short island hop mentioned in the article, there is no need for IFR flight in good weather. Doubtful, without looking at the approach plates, that either airport has sufficient nav equipment for landings in really cruddy weather.
A helicopter would be ideal for that trip, but they had the jet there, so thats what they used.
Hm. That all makes sense now! Thanks for explaining it...
I never used the word “airliner”—you did.
I was just asking a question...I wasn’t trying to impugn you or anything like that. It really was something I was ignorant about.
