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. |

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

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.
