Professional Pilot, October 2016
Fly 2 inch attitude altitude airspeed and slip 62 PROFESSIONAL PILOT October 2016 Some of our trips include long range overwater operations And for those missions I would like to have CPDLC so I could more easily be in contact with ATC and have more clarity when making my position reports Using HF radio can be problematic with frequency congestion and static at inappropriate times CPDLC is the clear transmission answer With it I could fly in the track system over the Atlantic Yes CPDLC is a must have for this Embraer Legacy pilot Jay Brentzel ATP Embraer Legacy Chief Pilot HSMM Carlsbad CA On my wish list flying a Citation 560 I want to have longer range So what Im really looking for are larger fuel reserves for my aircraft so that multiple legs could be flown without stopping for refueling Lavern Sorenson ATP Citation CE560 Chief Pilot PJ Taggares Co Pasco WA Down here in the Gulf I fly large helicopters for PHI namely the AW139 and S92 A desired improvement for the panel of our AW139 would be to have upgraded more capable MFDs And for the S92 Id like to see more automation for systems checks like the AW139 already has If the S92 would have an FMS like the Honeywell Primus Epic with addition of a high definition moving map display that would be great I also would like to have infrared EVS capability with HUDs for both the 139 and 92 so we could continue customer flights in lower IMC than at present Finally I think CPDLC would be very useful in this area for getting our IFR clearances speedily without frequency congestion Michael OBrien ATP Leonardo AW139 Sikorsky S92 Captain PHI Cantonment FL We operate a Lear 35 The cockpit is quite cramped for me since Im a pilot who is 6 ft 4 in tall I know I cant make the cockpit bigger but perhaps there might be some stretch in the adjustable rudder pedals So I want to know about 2 things What adjustments can I make in the cockpit for my tall frame And what kind of short little pilots did Bill Lear have in mind when he began building Learjets Matthew Bell ATP Learjet 35 Captain Air Medical London Oxford UK SAM the MD302 Standby Attitude Module is the first digital standby to display attitude altitude airspeed slip vertical trend and heading information in an advanced 2 inch format SAM delivers an easy to fit compact design with selectable orientation horizontal and vertical like no other ensuring a perfect fit within any panel SAMs unique two screen display features high definition graphics and extra wide viewing angles And at 16 lbs SAM weighs less than the three instruments its designed to replace Get to know SAM today LITHIUM ION EMERGENCY BATTERY SELECTABLE ORIENTATION FIELD UPGRADEABLE SOFTWARE
