Default Devastation in Iowa City Tonight

What is your Arrow's useful load? More importantly, what are your fuel
hops going to be with seats full? Why yes, I mean ...with IFR reserves!!


Useful load is 983.8 lbs. With four seats full, we'll carry 36 gallons
(to the tabs) which means three hour legs in order to land with an
hour's worth reserves (my mandated fuel reserves, more than those
required by the FARs). For any IFR ops., it depends on the timeframe to
the destination + alternate + reserves...most likely around 2:30 for
time to destination + alternate and I'd still have (my) reserves
remaining. Until we get past Salt Lake, there's little chance we'd do
IFR flying though as much of the MEAs would require supplemental O2.
Dang rocks are just so high that by the time you add obstruction
clearance and nav. aid reception, you'd really want to be sucking on
bottled O2.


BTW, we're waiting for OSH to get new pillows. Yup, you get them first
(x4) , then they're all ours. Margene has decided ....it's time.


Oooooh, no lumpy ones, eh? Cooooooool! Still need to weigh a bunch of
stuff though. Will keep you posted on that front.
