150nm Calls?????

Dear Multi Engine,

I take it you are a radio jockey sitting at the end of the runwy listening in to a crackly portable VHF.... can tell you that VB, QF, XR etc do not call at 150nm...we still drinking coffee.

WE monitor at 45, call at 30, 15 n 5 and invariably don't call 3 or 1 as it seriously clogs the radio.

And as for saying we do 3nm/min.....being a "Multi engine" Pilot... if you are you'd know the likes of a Baron, Chieftain, etc do that..... We do 6-7 to below 10000 then being good run 250kts.

Hope this clarifies your lack of knowledge.

Cheers
Flying Seat
