When I was a VIP pilot we had a policy of not descending in excess of 1,000 ft/min to reduce the possibility of our passengers suffering discomfort in their ears. Do you have a similar policy with regard to long descents?

SP: It must have taken you a little while to extract all thest images from the RATW thread!
Thanks for your continuing efforts (most of which go unnoticed) in tending the Rotorheads forum. :D |
Namaste VF.
As with all your other viewers, I love your photos and envy your location. Would you be up for taking photos of the cleaners engineers, office staff, re-,fuelers and the general infrastructure that supports the company? Not just the odd photo but a whole package interspersed with your future photos as that would really give us a feel for your daily life The places you stay when you get stuck away from base, the whole lot! :ok: |
