Re: PAMA orientation....

HI Dave Yup, the 748 is just about perfect for the area..... apart from being a superb model, it has a cruising speed that lets you take in the scenery.. none of this FL400 jet nonsense :lol: It also lets me have a bit of time to react ;) ... and enjoy the view.... currently at 1900 feet 3NM off Gus...

Re: PAMA orientation....

Yup - there are a fair few little tinkers for PAMA... I was running it off the previous installation, but there were one or two bits of stuff that needed reinstalling so I decided to go from scratch. I did have the Conversion kit but for some reason must have 'moved' rather than copied the contents ...
