Aug 1/14 – Gas to Sudbury

Just looking at my gas receipt after I have topped up in Sudbury. I have burned 95.7 l of 100 LL and flew 2.8 hrs including run up, taxing and so on. So this puppy takes 34.17 liters per hour flying at 112 Kts which is 208 km/h.

July 29/14 – The service you get

After arriving at Sudbury airport in a private plane we taxied to Shell station to gas up and were treated like gold. Super friendly service, they let us tie down plane at no charge and I even got a free hat!

I do not know if this a standard practice, maybe the fact that I was with 2 very good looking ladies had something to do with it…

July 27/14 – Nice note from Mark

Hey Andre,

Just a word of thanks for your patience and expertise in getting things sorted with my harness. I think I had a smile on my face all the way home today after having a couple successful flights in rather challenging conditions. Now that the number of flights where I’ve gotten into the seat equals the number where I’ve been hanging from my naughty bits, things are looking up! Have a good holiday and maybe I’ll see you at UPAC.

July 27/14 – New radar app

Last night buddy of mine who flies Dash 8 for Jazz Canada told me about radar app that all commercial pilots started to use recently. It is called “My Radar” and you can get it for free in the App store.

Works great!
