Atlantic Crossing

I have sent email via contact page and happy for Peter to pass it on.

Messaging or emailing is on the list of things to do

In the meantime I'd be happy to put anyone in touch - just drop me a line via the Contact form here.

Jason, I have a question for you (not related to your crossing), but I don't know how to PM you. If you don't know how to PM me either, we'll ask Peter, he'll know....

My question is about the electrical system of the PA 46...

Home runway, in central Ontario, Canada, Canada

Great article Jason. It's a trip I'm very much hoping to make one day. Well done!

Great trip! Congrats, and hope you'll have much joy with your new toy!

Oh dear, I work Imp Gallons (4.55 Lt).

How quaint. :)

OK, I take back that no-one uses them.

Oh dear, I work Imp Gallons (4.55 Lt). Club PA28's and the tank filler points are placarded in Imp G. (20 gallons each and 14 to the tabs). Wt. comes easy with water = 10 lbs/Imp. G and SG = 0.72 = 7.2 lbs / Imp G.

Average burn is a well known at around 8 Imp gal/hr. I know it a bit archaic, particularly as fuel is now sold/metered in litres. However this has always made me beg the question, Imp or US?

To quote a piece of text from another post, copy/paste the text into your post, highlight it (by swiping it), and press the Quotes button

The result is like this

This works only for blocks of text which do not contain blank lines

In other words, it works for one paragraph at a time, only.

That limitation is partly intentional because it stops someone easily quoting a whole (massive) post from someone else. This issue is common on other forums and renders the thread all but unreadable. And if the quoted text includes pictures posted by the other person, that just finishes the mess off nicely

As an aside do any modern aircraft work in Imp gallons/hr?

Never heard of one, but maybe old British (pre-metric) ones?

Yes, USG/hr. As an aside do any modern aircraft work in Imp gallons/hr?

Ah, answer to my own 'quoting' question - it does it auto when using the 'Quotes' button (which is how I did it).
