6 person raft. Really you want to go there? Username Protected wrote: Last week, 1140 nm non stop @ FL310. What preparations did you make in case of engine failure beyond gliding distance from land?

Paul,
Just curious... I saw that you list average speed at 170kts for your mirage. Is that because of low altitude flying or headwinds or ?
