Tom,

You can do training with Howell outside of the SIM for USSIC right?

Yes.
Craig recommended Shawn McDonnell in Salina Ks so we used him.
Plus closer to our home. (Talk about an 8 day ass kicking!)

Even Simcom Initial training requires something like 8 or 10 hours AIRPLANE in addition to Sim.
We will probably do Simcom for a recurrent soon.

Hey Tom took the MU2 down to Na'Awlins for the weekend and back. 280 Knots down 298 knots back :harhar:

Forget the damn Duke, I am keeping this bird. How much can I get for a kidney nowadays anyway?

Here we are on the Beech website extolling the virtues of the Mighty MU2 :cheers:

Best

Told you so

Kidney will only get you one of the props done though. Crime and/or prostitution are some of the alternatives.

Agreed.
Beech was contracted to provide the support for the Mu2 by MHIA for a period.

Some of my service manuals still say to contact Beech for various things.

Their pasts are linked.

MU-2 Down In Ohio
Email this article |Print this article

By Russ Niles, Editor-in-Chief

The aircraft was registered to Mitts Corp., of Gainseville, and was approaching Lorain County Airport in Elyria, Ohio, when it went down. It's not clear what stage of flight it was in. On board and believed dead were two pilots and two passengers. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries issued a statement within hours of the crash, pointing out that it was the first fatal accident in almost four years for the aircraft.

A spate of accidents before that prompted the FAA to issue a Special Federal Air Regulation in 2008 mandating type-specific training for MU-2 pilots. The MU-2's safety record was analyzed by the FAA in 2005 and found to be comparable to other twin-engine turboprops but its unique design requires different flying techniques, particularly in emergency situations. The MU-2's flaps extend for the full length of the wing, and it doesn't have ailerons. Roll control comes from highly effective spoilers.
