HS748 First Flight Done
Posted: 06 May 2012, 23:42
Well!
I've completed my first TR flight on the 748 and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was only a few pounds out on my fuel calcs, which was nice.
What a lovely aircraft to fly and due to it's systems I only had about 5 minutes "free time" as I was kept busy making sure eveything was going well.
I chose 10000' for the trip from Aberdeen to Kirkwall. What do the rest of you think? Is that about right?
My wife goes away for a fortninght this weekend so real work and cadet work permitting, I should be able to get some hours in on the 748 and make it second nature.
