T and B; what's happened to the Auto pilot i.e. why the orange cross hatches on the PFD?

212Man,
We've not had serviceable autopilots since last August; the 50 deg C OAT limit sadly doesn't seem to apply to the autopilot system, which usually kicks off after about 10 mins with the temp above 40-45 deg C. I was going to include a description of the reason why we don't have the appropriate spares, but decided this isn't the appropriate forum to discuss such matters
You might also have noticed the lack of a "sand filter" indication in the bottom pic. Same reason as above.

T and B, Ah, I see! Do you have problems with the FCDMs as well then, as I assume they sit in the same rack? (AP is straddled by FCDMs in the 155.)

John, Heliport,
This calendar is really good, particularly because it makes us think extra effort those pilot's have to make when working in such difficult conditions to aid in one of history's worst natural disasters.
Congratulations to John E. for his first calendar, and a sincere thanks to all who are working in Indonesia helping others in their time of need.

My forced landing area!
My destination....salmon cages on the small Loch on the Isle of Jura Scotland
Distillery on Islay
My view of a full load of Salmon smolts at around 85 kts
Looking South as I head to the mainland.

Is this what you meant by JUST SLIGHTLY?
Hollywood, please don't be mad I modified your picture, I just took the best of two good pics and put into one

Cool shots! If we brighten up the lighting effect just slightly in the first picture, it would make a PERFECT PPRuNe calendar for August. Well, I suppose it will be cooler whether down under, but the summer storms will be in full swing up here.

WOW...
I mean, wow! Just went back to view the old photos to compare. Are you sure you weren't born to be a graphic artist? Nice blend... you can't even tell the picture was modified. A great improvement on an already great shot.
