Frigatebird,

My memory of the ATR42 type rating is a little sketchy on account of all the brain cells we destroyed during an extremely pleasant month in Toulouse. I do remember the French Instructor saying " zere are two enjines .. one for ze left and one for ze right "

When challenged that we may need to know just a tad more than that, he replied " Merde ! alright... ze are made by Pratt and Whitney ... ze next subject eez eyedraulic "

After the month we were little the wiser and maybe 5kgs heavier. I do remember it seeming like the proverbial piece of cake to fly after the 20 tonne dog whistle... go down, slow down, " nay bother Jimmy "

Although you had to work very hard to do anything other than a greaser, some still seemed to manage. Rgds Tpad
