Nothing new for many, but watching what others were doing led me to take a different approach to filing with a fast airplane.<\/p>\n
Charles and I took a day off and used the Twin Comanche to fly to Punta Gorda yesterday. We logged 6.8 hours of flying, including one stop at KRBW – Low Country Airport in South Carolina.<\/p>\n
First leg routing was 33N-SBY-ORF=CHS-KRBW. This is a more simplified routing than I usually file, but I experimented based on recent routings filed in FltPlan.com. The north leg file in this manner actually worked as planned. Surprise.<\/p>\n
Landing at Low Country, I met a very nice pilot in an RV-6 who flies for a living (SabreLiners). He was telling me he flew checks in a PA-30 (like mine) with very limited equipment. We had a nice talk and then Charles and I had lunch.<\/p>\n
Next leg was also filed in a simplified manner. KRBW-SAV-CRG-KPGD (Punta Gorda). They gave me that, but I knew it wouldn’t last. General Aviation is alive and well in Florida, and we were given at least three re-routes. No big deal though, it just added some time to the flight.<\/p>\n
6.8 hours total over the two flights. Longer by over an hour than I anticipated – mostly due to wind – but the flight was a good one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
