In addition any malfunction has to be treated just like it is in the airplane and IAW the MEL (Minimum Equipment List).<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-40944705488913523342019-06-28T09:07:59.932-07:002019-06-28T09:07:59.932-07:00Ralph,

The 24th hour is used for required inspections and maintenance. I'm use to it, I've spent my whole life working around the clock so it is not a big deal, where it becomes a big deal is when there are too many of those days in a row.<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-30963805777776769082019-06-28T03:45:33.075-07:002019-06-28T03:45:33.075-07:00Flight simulators are very expensive and need to b...Flight simulators are very expensive and need to be profitable.

No leaks on the bench.<br /><br />I know poor me but after 3 or 4 days in a row I start dragging. Back in the the day I could do 6 to 10 time zones in a day with no problem but I was younger, getting old isn't pretty :-).<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-47774815060906156682019-06-27T05:59:36.595-07:002019-06-27T05:59:36.595-07:00(Half-lap)/half-blind dovetail.
