    High probability that I built the vertical stabilizer for this aircraft. I built hundreds of stabilizers at Beech in Liberal Kansas. Two guys, eight hours per unit.

    Did you stop to refuel or was it a straight flight?

    What is that black device on the glare shield?

      Some kind of tracker from when it was used for air ambulance I think. I never touched it

      Looks like an AOA box. Angle of attack indicator

      Looks like a Spidertracks aircraft tracking device. Used to have one in a 206.

      @@RunwayHeading I flew the C90 in my youth. I was diagnosed with T1 diabetes in 1988 and that ended my flying career. I am glad that I found your page as I get to fly with you for a while. Many thanks from South Africa.

    Total flt time from merced lauderdale? 10.8 hrs??? Are you kidding? Thats like 180-190 kts. Slow KA.

    • @RunwayHeading
      @RunwayHeading  Год назад +1

      We weren’t that slow. 2200 miles + 2 stops + some holding when FLL was closed before we diverted.
      Also, I’m building hours so not running max cruise power at all.

      Ten hours is pretty good, If flies commercial airliner, he probably has to commute to Sacramento or Fresno. The time spent on connecting flights and to/from airports on both ends adds up quickly to the total travel time😂

    At around 0:35,that seems like a high RPM to go to,having just started the engine.

    • @RunwayHeading

      Going to high idle for cross generator starting the left engine. No issues going right to high idle on the PT6
