Coooome on, as if you would have nothing better to do than take a picture right after landing. Anyone in business aviation knows that is NOT the time to do so. ;)

This somewhat dubious and now deprecated practice can result in an induced surge in the left Reindeer; the resulting control problems may necessitate an unscheduled off-chimney landing.

Merry Christmas.

Pace seasons greetings to you and all Ppruners..

Does the 560 do REYKJAVÍK to Goose in one leg?

The only time I have done it is in a SR22 and we stopped at Sunny Nuuk

I assume you would not wear survival suits in that aircraft but have them on board?

Come down to Biggin if you are kicking around over Christmas and can go for the long promised flight before the year over.

Its tight but we had to keep this one down at FL280 for now with resultant higher fuel flows!so no way :{

Into Greenland on this trip But normally a 560 at FL420 with the fuel flows way down will do direct as long as the winds are kind.

Yes survival suits on board

I really admire the guys who fly SEP across all that cold water especially in winter they have far more guts than me :ok:

Yes looking forward to that get together soon ;)

For those that may have any concern about impending flight, see today's media release from Transport Canada and breathe a sigh of relief.

So, when losing the right reindeer as demonstrated by the examiner in Post No. 3, is that the critical deer? That may depend on whether or not the deer is left or right hoofed.

I suggest that the critical critter depends on:

1. left or right hoofed reindeer

2. same hoofing both sides, otherwise you would have counter-rotating hooves

3. P-factor may or may not be an issue depending on the last time they drank

Question: Does Mr. Claus have rudder capability on his rig?

Thoughts.

Pace may be interested to enquire of Santa the type of ABS he has for stopping on snow covered roofs...!!

Naah :E This one had reverse thrust :ok:Santas Reindeers can burp strongly for reverse thrust while I believe they have afterburners from the other end for the times that extra bit of thrust is required :E
