The rest of the world has to do some serious multitasking; having two pilots makes it *so* much easier. Everytime I fly the Chieftain for AMF, I'm a little taken aback at how much there is to do at one time. It's good practice, though, because airline flying atrophies those skills.Sam Weigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06332414897030323612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10991135.post-1123207981621171222005-08-04T21:13:00.000-05:002005-08-04T21:13:00.000-05:00Sounds like my typical IFR flight, only sans the e...Sounds like my typical IFR flight, only sans the extra pilot.<BR/><BR/>I like that aphorism about not going anywhere your brain hasn't been five minutes ago... can i steal that?? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10991135.post-1123096769385978062005-08-03T14:19:00.000-05:002005-08-03T14:19:00.000-05:00I did Vancouver to Victoria in 11 minutes today. 9...I did Vancouver to Victoria in 11 minutes today. 90% of the time we do this trip VFR so it's not so bad. The 1st couple of times I did the trip it was hard to keep up with my duties. Now I find I can get my stuff done in time to enjoy the view over the Gulf Island's. Even still, it's alot going on in a short period of time. Doesn't sound quite as busy as your trip though.Lost Av8rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096008783177892349noreply@blogger.com
