I just prefer that I be the one to proscribe the limits. Up to 3 1/2 years ago all of my flying was either military or airline. I know all about rules and regulations. I have seen what overzealous people can do with interpretation of these rules and regulations. My personal limits are probably more conservative that most people. For example I have set runway length at 4,000. I have 95 usable gallons, but I plan to land with 30 gallons on board. I have no interest in seeing what the minimum landing distance is. I don't care to see what the service ceiling is ( I know of one Legacy owner who has been to 30,000' ). I plan on 100kts on final, 90kts over the fence with a 70 to 75kt touchdown. What is that old song? "Don't fence me in" with someone else's rules and regulations. Lynn Farnsworth Super Legacy L2K-235 TSIO-550 Race #44 My reply: Again, we agree. One of the things that draws us to flying (based on your post I'll take the liberty to speak for you on this subject -- if I'm wrong I apologize in advance) is the tremendous feeling of personal liberty. I hate the idea of anyone telling me what to do; we already have enough of that in our country. Less government = more freedom! That being said, I'd love to hear your ideas on how we might help others (who might be interested) to develop the strong convictions about safety and risk management that you and I share. After all, if everyone FELT the same as us there wouldn't be ANY accidents!
