Downloading very slowly Looks like I'll be here for a bit...
Later...
Finally got it, set up at KPDX to do a flight into Boeing Field, pulled up ATIS and realized I was going to be dealing with icing conditions - no thanks! So I set up in St. Croix and headed into Princess Juliana for a sunset run carrying a bunch of bottles from some guy named Morgan. I actually like this quite a bit. At 12,000' I can maintain a good cruise with 30InHg and leaned for max EGT. My only real wish is that the landing light would shine out a little more down the runway. I also realized I was coming in way to fast, but I was able to chop the throttle and get the airspeed down to the white arc, then drop the flaps into the wind to get her slowed down in time for a smooth landing and exit at the second turn-off. Panel lighting seems to leave a little to be desired, so I'll probably be sticking more to daytime flights.
