Lilflyboy,

Make sure there is enough fuel in the tanks and don't fly a 10 mile wide circuit

Flying a 210 on the PAPI is also foolhardy. Don't put those barn doors into the full position until you are committed to land at about 300 ft AGL

Have some courtesy for the following aircraft. Using full length at Kununurra and needing to backtrack because you landed half way down the runway (trying to fly the PAPI) is not what one would consider good airmanship.

A 210 is not a spaceship, or a transport aircraft. Land the thing on the threshold and help the bloke out behind you on base or short final.

Don't line up on a 5 mile final when there is another aircraft calling rolling on the reciprocal runway, and only mention it after they are airborne.

I trust the Slingair boys and girls are doing well
