IFR Renewal/C310

[Continental-520]

Can anyone tell me where I can get my IFR renewal done in a C310 apart from the RACWA?

R model would be nice...any suggestions?

Ummmm.....GAS

Whens your 21st?

Country Capital Flight Services in Tamworth, NSW have (or used to have) a C310R. Contact Judie McKenzie, their ATO & see if they'll do it. Dunno if it's worth travelling from WA though! :oh:

[shaablamm]

Wagga Air Centre, NSW. Have 3 'R' models, used for charter and bankrunning. I don't know whether you could do a renewal on them but worth ringing them. If they like you you might get a job but I wouldn't ask.

The IR test fella is excellent and will teach you something no matter your experience.

[Towering Q]

What's wrong with JCI? Tidy machine...or is it the owners that concern you? :uhoh:

[the wizard of auz]

Or even Daisy?.
JCI was a good old rig when I flew it last.............about eight years ago.

[Continental-520]

Thanks for the replies.

Hey Dawn Raid, hope you're enjoying your new situation.
My 21st was earlier this month, just on 2 weeks ago, but I don't feel 21, for some reason.

Anyway, I didn't know that GAS could do renewals, but they could prove to be helpful. Incidentally, I HAVE sent them my paperwork.

Would/have consider/ed daisy for the job, but the one of the prospective aspirations wants specifically an 'R' endorsement...god knows why. How ya been anyway, wiz? Thought you might've paid us a visit by now... :)

C-520. Don't listen to Dawnie, he smokes too many Cubans and drinks way too much Port.

GAS can do the endorsments but not the renewal...unless you supply your own 'Trudy'.:ok:

[Continental-520]

The poison is Port now, hey?
Last time I checked I thought it was bourbon...and a real super size one at that!

520.

[the wizard of auz]

I thought a C310 endo was a C310 endo, without any differance between models.
I would have been up there to see you blokes, but your boss doesn't answer the phone and when he does, I'm flat out. Will happen soon. :ok:
We cultured folk (me and Dawny) start with supersized bourbons and finish the evening with large ports, the evening interspersed with big, fat, tasty cigars............AAAAAH, I love being a cultered fellow. :E ;)

[Towering Q]

interspersed with big, fat, tasty cigars...hopefully not the Bondi variety eh Wiz.:eek:

[the wizard of auz]

Definately not the bondi variety TQ.:uhoh:

Wiz,

Don't try IFR in the early [<D] models without a bit of practice; any with the canoe type tip tanks.

G'day ;)

[tinpis]

The old 310s with tip tanks could become a bit of a handful in IMC getting a good pilot induced rock 'n roll going .

My comments in another thread feather #3

After doing IR rating in a pig of a C320.

[the wizard of auz]

the tanks on mine are the same as the R models. although I don't have the luxury of the strakes and yaw damper like the R, its still not to bad as an IF platform.
Bugger on a hot day with half fuel though. ;)

[Chimbu chuckles]

Often wondered where Judie Mackenzie went to...she occupies the PIC column for the first 1/2 dozen lines in my first logbook.:ok:

[ace4bar's girlfriend]

A little birdie told me that you Goldfield's pilots are some of the best pilots in the country.

Towering Q - Is it true that you are one of the best 402 drivers around? MMMMMM.....Your reputation preceeds you.:cool: :cool:

[the wizard of auz]

BWAAAHAHAHAHA, Yeah TQ, are ya?:E .

[Not_Another_Pot]

Ere Shift, how did Daisy go at FL240? Got me by 3000' but then I was on an IFR plan;)

[OpsNormal]

Hehehehe, ya gob was fair open!

Hows the Mini? :ok:

[the wizard of auz]

she went like a wet sock mate. was only there to see if it would go there...and it did. Dunno how you deal with them thingys up your nose all the time.....damn uncomfortable. ;)

[Not_Another_Pot]

NAPpy

[the wizard of auz]

That little birdie would have been referring to the Leonora Air Services guy and that crazy pom who bashes around in a Trinidad.:}
