Did you find vfr arrival and traffic pattern entry hard at LIRU ? I've been flying there 5 days ago on m600 . And it was not so easy to get out of there and cross the alps on the way back because they haven't been giving the ifr clearance for a long time after departure )
Dear John, Thank you for a very interesting video. Would you be kind enough to share the journey planning aspect and the reason for refueling in Nice? I am keen to learn given the M500 1000nm range with 45 min reserve and qty 2 POB this trip. Was the reason your preference for greater reserve, winds, something else or have I misinterpreted the potential max range? Thank you. Regards, Steven.
Hi Steven, thanks for the comment. We had 3 POB departed out of a short airfield (800m) on a hot day. So pushing it to the limit as we had plenty of time wasn’t required, also it was partly a training flight so visiting Cannes was a good way to see somewhere new. Yes the aircraft will do Rome non stop. Regards John.
