With the turboprops I try to only taxi on one engine. BTW, are you getting any turbulence? At www.aviationweather.gov it said there was some turbulence around this area. I'm 72 miles from CQR GS=306 knots. (the wind turned around again)

Wow, your going fast. I'm comming down there, I'll take my chances. No turbulence up here. Very smooth. I'm doing 274 kts, and I'm 87 from cqr.

I wouldn't do that, it's only because the wind keeps turning.

I just crossed over CQR. My ground speed =254 knots. My fuel is 21%. I didn't want to take any extra weight, just enough to get me to deadhorse, plus 30 minutes.

Darn it! I forgot to calculate the fuel consumption. Is there a fuel dump valve on this plane?

I don't think that that would be cheating. As long as there is a fuel dump valve.

Did ATC give you that descent? I just got descent clearance when I was 79 miles from Deadhorse.

What I should have done was cancelled my IFR as soon as I was out of the clouds. That way I could have gone staight for the airport and entered the traffic pattern from there. Did you get any screenshots? All I got was 2.

1. I was cruising at a higher alltitude so I was slowly catching up with you. 2. Because I was at a higher altitude I got to desend before you did. 3. on desent I was getting as much speed out of the aircraft as posible, but not over sterssing it. Exept below 10,00, then I slowed down.
