Wow, my last post was Sep 6. Holy Cow! I told you things would be slow for a while. Nothing is new here, work still blows goats. Kathy's job is going in the direction she wants to go, they are moving her into the operating room. (She has wanted to be in the operating room since she was in school!)

I've been studying my ass off lately..

"This will be a standard takeoff with flaps 17 degrees, using 3950 ft/lbs of torque.

Bugs set at ____(V1) ____(V2), and ____(Venr).

The calls will be "Power Set, Autofeather armed, 80Knots, V1, Rotate.

Any malfunction below 80 knots I will reject on your command.

Between 80 knots and ____(V1) I will reject on your command for an engine failure, fire or loss of oil pressure, and either may reject for a control problem.

Any failure above ____(V1) will be considered an in-flight emergency.
If an engine fails after ____(V1), the calls will be 'Engine Failure, Max Power, Positive Rate, Gear Up' and I will accellerate to ____(V2).

I will identify the failed engine, you will confirm that it has failed, auto feathered, and that there is no fire.

Through 400ft I will accellerate to ____(Venr) and call "flaps up".

(if VFR) 'We will return for runway ____.'

(if IFR) 'We will proceed direct to the Telkwa beacon, enter the hold, preform the checklists and request a clearance to return.'

Any questions?"
