That would be a DC-8, not a -8. I have jump seated on the
Dash 8 over the Alps believe it or not!

Yes, I have an Instructor rating. No, no total sensory overload experienced by any student. (Some of that overload could be the instructor's fault.)

Well, I'm at “top of descent”, have to put my computer away, dismiss Buffy, and let the co-pilot back into the cockpit.
I'll be able to get back on in about an hour if I can figure out how to land this big bird.

Cheers until then.

Ha! Yeah, spatial disorientation caused by instrument fixation that damn near rolled the airplane was all the instructor's fault. LOL!

It's okay. Take off's are optional. Landings are mandatory and will occur with or without your input.
