Episode 0732 - The Basis: Dobra, Malcolm, Master, Tanker, Tetra, Vanna, ~ 06 ``Vanna: Just because we are on our private frequency, I still expect proper discipline on the radio, and it is being monitored and we are all on Squawk. Therefore it is all being recorded Tetra. There is enough room for 4 Hoppers on the hopper-pad, so I expect neatness, otherwise some beings will not pass their exams. ``Tanker: Fuel Lady Cat? ``Vanna: Zaa. It is a very long walk, so Master and I, will jump up quin. ``Tanker: Certus. --- ``Vanna: Here we are. ``Master: Can you feed 250 litres into each of the two snakes? ``Tanker: Zaa. It will take about 5 units a piece. I have never seen one of these before. ``Master: These are called Rattle Snakes, so I suggest you get up to speed, as we will be needing a lot more fuel. ``Tanker: Certus, and I will tell my Boss. --- There we are, all done, and quin sign here. --- Zarfs. Zimo. ``Vanna: We will jump back on quin, as we need to get back to ATC for a briefing. ``Tanker: Certus. ``Vanna: Zibo all. May I introduce you to Master from Atlantic City, who is the equivalent to our Captain. In the past he has flown Rattle Snakes, so we should be able to get some flying time in this qef. This is a test flight and anything can and will happen, so be ready Tetra, and quin stay seated at all times. ``Master: Zibo all. The Snakes can only work one way, and that means it is their way. If you deviate from this pattern they start to rattle, and would eventually shake themselves to pieces. Although they are easy to fly Tetra, it takes a lot of skill and experience to learn how to keep in control of a situation. Also they like to work better at operating temperature, and these have not be flown for long time, after looking at the log books. Any questions? ``Malcolm: What happens if it does start to rattle? ``Master: We will return here, and land. ``Tetra: If we had an engine failure, how long can we glide for? ``Master: A good question, and we would lose 400m per unit. If we did crash land, then normal procedures would be in place, and we do have a distress beacon on our emergency frequency, and we would squawk 66666. ``Dobra: Quoins? ``Vanna: They appeared to be in tact, but only use them in an emergency. Our normal ones are in the Parki. {Adder, Base In flight to local area ~ 4} - [R402] ``Vanna: Start up procedure, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. ``Master: Let the engines build themselves up to 3,000 RPM. The pilot confirms to the Co pilot and visa versa. so that you are running cross checks. Malcolm is on door security? ``Malcolm: Secured Master. ``Master: Take your seat for lift off. Brakes off, and off we go. You can do the radio. ``Vanna: R042 to Dock. ``Dalbir: Dock to R042, go ahead over. ``Vanna: R042 to Dock per mission to take off and we are going to the east over. ``Dalbir: Dock to R042 wind 10kts, gusting 15kts over. ``Vanna: R042 you have us on Squawk over. ``Dalbir: I will be tracking your route over. ``Master: The temperatures must be well off the red towards green, so always remember that Tetra. ``Tetra: Zaa Master. ``Master: Everything looks good. Full power and go, and watch the feel of the cross wind. ``Vanna: 120kts and lift off. ``Tetra: 500m and climbing. --- 1,800m or we have just passed ALT 1Km, and it is wonderful. ``Master: Throttle back to 2,500 RPM. ``Vanna: Cruising speed is 190Kts. ``Master: Zaa. The temperature gauges are still in the green zone, and will take a while to get to amber. ``Vanna: She is flying well, and is reasonable smooth. ``Master: You will get some buffeting, which is not felt in the Saucer. Where are we Tetra? ``Tetra: We should be over Geode. ``Vanna: R042 to Base, are we over your home Village, over. ``Dalbir: Dock to R042, can you give Mum a wave quin, over. ``Vanna: Certus. ``Master: Increase to 3,000 RPM. ``Vanna: Speed now 250kts. ``Master: 10º bank to starboard and bring us around 180º. ``Vanna: The temperature gauge is just creeping into the umber sector. ``Tetra: She has gone quiet. ``Master: That is normal and hard to achieve. We now have the interesting bit, Tetra? ``Tetra: We have to land.
