Totaled up 950 hrs.in the 31T-2-XL. Thanks to the recession in 2008,along with a few bad investments, my employer had to sell the XL. The aircraft was based at an airport with hangers for rent.But,on a lot of occasions, we flew in to our small country arpt. Parked outside with no hangers. Our tarmac didn’t have a level place on it. For the best spot away from the hwy. was uphill.For years,we pulled in as straight as possible and then pull levers back and backup uphill to the stops.We had no tug of any kind and sure as hell couldn’t push it by hand.After years of going backwards, I got fairly good at it. Only one action to remember:: Take your feet off the pedals. Never use the brakes.Use the engines for braking. A video of this would be great.
I did instrument approach in VMC ( visual meteorological conditions ) . You can fly IFR with VMC or IMC , but never to do VFR with IMC . You understand ?

Title just a tad misleading wouldn’t you say ?
One title name to consider could be VFR LANDING
