Great pics Paul, and a gret insight thanks for these.

If you had fare paying pax aboard then yes commercial forums as I’m sure they would love to see these pics anyway 😉
I’ll leave this post here because as you quite rightly say there is an element of GA about the King Air too 😉

Is your King Air certified for single pilot ops or multi crew Paul?

Over the last few months i’ve noticed a deterioration in the print quality of TP. In the Feb 06 issue (p18) there is an ink streak vertically through the buccaneer article. There have been numerous other examples.
I have other Key mags delivered, yet none of the others suffer the same problem.
Some TPs arrive with the spine badly cracked.
Why the difference? I’m considering stopping my subscription when it comes for renewal.

I have been a printer myself for 16 years, so I know what happens at the sharp end of production when producing quality work, Key Publishing will set the highest standards possible for their glossy magazines as does all our customers in my field (we produce flexible packaging for the food industry), with the print process comes inherant print faults, these are generally only detectable after they have happened, the fault is then flagged up and the offending material is disposed of before it can go down the production line, print machines produce thousands of copies per hour and the odd few copies will inevitably get “through the loop”, and whilst this is regretable it is a by-product of the print process, it is absolutely impossible to have 100% quality on 100% of a production run and whilst Key would undoubtably expect 100% quality and would reject anything that was not so again a few will get through generally due to the high volume.
I suggest rather than cancel your subscription that you phone Key if your magazine does not reach you in the highest quality and ask for a replacement, and without speaking personally for them I would be pretty surprised if they refused you a replacement copy.
Keep the subscription going, TP is a great magazine for resource and information, it would be a shame if you had to cancel due to this but speak to them is all I can suggest.

BigJet have you tried the obvious? press L twice to switch off lights and back on again, give it a try and see what happens, have you got logo lights?

Not everyone wants this thread locked, not everyone thinks like you, so lets keep to the topic and keep the discussions constructive 🙂

Robbo the payware aircraft are generally the only planes that are equipped with autoland, the basic freeware models do not even contain a Rad Alt which is an integral part of autoland, generally if your model has more than 1 autopilot and an FMC it may or should have autoland capabilities, the only thing the freeware ones do generally is fly the ILS from LLZ capture to GS capture and then down the ILS to as low as you would want it, I generally disconnect the autopilot on good visual with the runway which is alot of airline’s SOP but your choice, I would recommend disconnecting at the MM.

Mr D, this VA has been running now since ooo, December 2002 or something like that, it is not MY VA, and the only reason I am doing it this way is to not get into trouble for advertising by the actualy airline that it copies. The real airline gave us specific things which we must and must not do, you see its much easier to run a fake one.

Also I have a lot of interest coming into my e-mail box and pm box of this forum, and i think the pilots appreicate it this way.

We do not want people to just join, we want them to think about it and see if they are ready, as youll know since your doing an ATPL course theres a lot of things to aviation that many people find they havent a clue about. We want these people to get the relevant training, and then to join us feeling confident with a group like vatsim.

If you wish to join my dear friend i say again, email me: [email]stokerb15@aol.com[/email] (do you copy that?)

Thanks again, Ben

Do you speak to everyone like they are your 6 year old son? :rolleyes:
May I remind it is you who is patronising, it is you who is antagonising us at KeyJet, it is you who is provoking an arguement.

Now may I suggest you quit right now, and whilst you’re at it take a look at the CoC
