I'd have to get to the AFM and do some figuring to get you a definitive answer and then of course it depends on the conditions at the time. For sure there would be plenty of time to coordinate help or find a boat to ditch near if the need should occur.

I mean - I definitely will volunteer. It may reduce your guilt as you ignore her moving forward. I'm with thigh Peter - glad to help out if needed!  .

I dropped of the MU2 today and I'm sitting in at BNA catching a burner home. I hate traveling commercial, but for $500 plus expenses why not? I sold the business last Friday, it's not like I have a job at the moment...
I bought a 3A with -10s. I like it a lot- I'm taking my wife, the baby, and the dogs for their first ride in it tomorrow, I'm pretty stoked about it.
Thanks for the well wishes fellas.
MX is A-B-C-D checks every year. On paper it looks about the same as the MU2 100-200-must have both annually schedule. We shall see...but I didn't have much choice. Nothing else that I wanted gets my mission done.

I thought the Merlin was ABCD had to be done within 24CM?

12 months /200 hrs is my understanding. Unless you get an alternative schedule approved.
