Last week we transitioned from my test pilot to me. I have now flown 444DX
twice, solo. I have about 1.5 hours so far. Weather in the NW is not
cooperating (big surprise for March). But I am getting sufficient time to
generate and fix a squawk list as expected. I am working off a 5000ft
runway until I get better speed control, landings are improving. I will
provide some numbers like takeoff/landing distance as I generate them.
First landing had a good tension breaker as when I was on final another
plane pulled on the runway without announcing or paying any attention to me
barreling along at near 100kts (I am approaching fast until I get my speed
control skills better). I buzzed him and went around. It did break the
tension as I did all the right things and he didn't.
Waiting for clear skies in Oregon
