Cessna 206 Stationair
My aircrew medical has been cleared. My tinnitus apparently has not hindered my hearing as I could hear all the required frequencies. The only snag is I can never fly solo because of my hypertension – so I have been cleared to fly multicrew. I’ll just have to find a licensed sucker to fly with me.
I also plan to have a change of type. Aircraft type, that is. I used to fly the Cessna 172 Skyhawk a lot, but I plan to change to the Cessna 206 Stationair. The 172s are nimbler and lighter and fun to fly. But the 206 is bigger in capacity, and a lot heavier. The police pilots used to complain about the somewhat difficult handling of the 206s, before they switched to the Pilatus PC-6s and Cessna 208 Grand Caravans.
So, some weekends when I’m not diving, I’ll be flying. Maybe it’s time to fly to Ipoh for nasi kandar followed by ais kacang in Sitiawan…just like old times.
