Kinda' sluggish getting there, but all the "say again aircraft type" from controllers made it worth the effort. |

operate a cherokee 140 at 10,000 or higher,
10,000 ft? I've been to 14,500 in my 172M - two on board, some baggage, & a substantial fuel load. We were out of Eagle County eastbound crossing the continental divide. It wasn't even all that sluggish getting there although the engine was VERY sensitive to the mixture control position - which was way out of course. I was younger then.............. |
