I have a buddy that does pilot conversions for 737 800/900 upgrades
these days he doesnt expect anyone to be able to fly but then again...
He had 2 Chinese guys that work for the gov, dont fly outside of china, cant speak English so had interpreter in the sim.
(Younger one could read a bit)
Passed eaasy so had spare sim time, older guy ask interpreter to ask my mate to set up a 45kts ( I think) crosswind which is higher than Boeing says it can be done.
Guy takes off, goes around, comes in chatting to FO so my mate is thinking he is teaching him...nails the white line, my mates jaw drops so he records it.
Pilot goes around and does it several more times perfectly.
So my mates asks, ( via interpreter) are you flying to a strip with regular 45kt crosswind, the guy just smiles...

Sweet! Hope you can find a home. I lost my place and had to move mine, then had to move it again once I found a hanger I could rent. I have a friends that have Challengers that are similar configuration. They sure fly good!

Mines a Quicksilver GT400...there are Challengers and Avids in my flying club. Am taking a break for now....am in the middle of my next restore job....15' Hustler family tunnel.
