Twas a fair while ago that I did my S/E Turbine - and I remember the Caravan has a glide ratio that was pretty impressive to say the least............... But I dont recall doing an inflight relight!!

Poor ol' gal - fond memories of doing HOT turnarounds on the postal run out of Cairns in er' - Gettin my @rse and eyebrows scalded every stop to deliver the mail, while the captain sat up front in aircon comfort patiently awaiting my return to the cockpit!

Lets see what the BASI investigation reveals - and not speculate too much!!
