10 FERRY FLIGHT IN N65W (Cont’d from Page 8) Peter Balmer and Author in Broomfield, CO Eiger, considered one of the most formidable mountaineering climbs in the world. The PC-12 has two heat vents at fl oor level about six feet behind the cockpit that are the source for heating the cabin. Since the cabin is unfi nished and doesn’t need to be heated, it would have been very benefi cial to have extension tubes that would have redirected all the heat from the cabin into the cockpit. Due to the date of the fl ight, daylight was near the shortest of the year with only fi ve hours in Iceland. Also, as we were quite far north, we crossed three time zones in the 3.8 hour fl ight from Iceland to Greenland. Nevertheless, there was still enough daylight to see amazing beauty especially midday over Greenland. Two pictures below show the stark and vast beauty of this part of the world, which was very exciting to see fi rst hand. The other two pictures provide a glimpse of Pilatus’s new facility in Stans and the ferry pilots having successfully arrived in Broomfi eld. Flying with a pro pilot like Peter Balmer is worth your time. Although I have fl own over 1400 hours in a series 9 PC-12, the Apex avionics in the PC-12 NG is different enough that extensive hands on familiarization with an pilot experienced with the system was very helpful. Also, fl ying the Atlantic route exposes you to unfamiliar yet impressive geography. Pete Welles can be reached at pw@mindspring.com. N65W At Delivery!
