I've learned a new trick in the turboprop. The A/P will allow you to hold IAS instead of ALT so set IAS, pull off power and down she comes. A 40% torque will run around 1200 fpm or if you are in a hurry the 30 % torque will come down almost twice as fast. Here I am casually descending into HONEY with about 50% torque coming down 750 fpm. Pretty neat. Oh, the other pic is just me at 15,000 crossing the Miss enroute from AEX to MEI.

Fantastic!!!!I spy a moving map display... :DBest regards,Robin.

No it doesn't mean anything, don't set up expectations for yourself, we will not release until it's ready.

Joesph,this IS the big secret at this point. I think its because the WXR radar is still under development, or whatever they may have up there sleves with it.Peter Osborn

Gorgeous shots!

Excellent! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice - looking forward to it - and Guys, let them take their time so it will the best in it's class :)

Yeah, correct :(

I am so looking forward to seeing this live...Thanks for taking the time to put a couple of shots up, appreciated...Andrew

Thanks Dan. I'm dying to know what they'll do with that INOP weather WX. I remember someone saying they were going to do something with it. That is correct right? I'm not trying to be annoying and asking exactly what they'll do - but they did say it will have some purpose right?Thanks everyone. Happy Friday. Blake
