I have mixed feelings about Don Brown's columns on AvWeb -- sometimes I learn from them, and sometimes they're just the same rants rehashed. Today, I stumbled by accident on a series of online columns by a Michael Oxner, a private pilot who works as a Canadian ACC controller at Moncton Centre...

Thank you for the reply. Where do you find the SID? Are they provided for the larger airports? Cheers, Derrick "David Megginson" wrote in message ... Derrick Early wrote:

OK, I know I said I would not get to fly this plane until tomorrow, but it arrived early and so I took a flight. This is a new turbocharged Cessna T182T. For those that have not seen the 182T (either turbo or normal, introduced last year), you might be a little startled the first time you take a...
