DGP Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 got in one at hai...pain in the #@!^* to get in the drivers seat and if you want to get out in a hurry you are screwed....as well you can forget about wearing a helmet as you will bash your head on the overhead breaker panel if you are over 5-9...rear seating is somewhat better but we don't usually sit in the rear so who cares :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear they're great I'm not exactly in the market to buy one but I am considering a position as a Pilot / Engineer on one and just trying to get a feel for what type of a/c this is. Also should have asked if anyone has worked on one and how that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TURBOCOPTER Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Like it Anybody else with a coment on the A119 ? Is this a good work horse ? How about for longline work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortex Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I've never flown one but as far as longlining, I've heard Dart is developing a bubble for the pilots door. Vne has not been determined yet for the window installation and apparently as per the FM you are not supposed to fly it with the pilots door removed.
