BAe J41 What's it like to fly ?
Hello Chaps/Chapesses,
Just a general question about what life might be like spending the working day on the flightdeck of the J41 ? A search hasn't thrown up very much, as far as I can see.
I'm considerng a contract (DEC) job in Romania on the beast, and would be interested to learn a little of its strenghts and (particularly) its weaknesses. I'm an unemployed jet jock, but had 600 very happy hours on the Dash8 many years ago, which was my last experience of a turbo-prop.
I very well remember my first real experience of icing in the Dash, and initially watched with some trepidation as the boots merely re-arranged the ice ! The Dash, however, seemed to carry ice very well, and as I could be spending some considerable time bouncing around the Transylvannian mountains in the summer, and coping with a Romanian winter, I'm keen to know how the J41 will cope in those conditions.
All contributions gratefully received.
Many thanks,
L8.
