Quote: Redline is 277 above 14,000 and 262 below 14,000. Shockingly, the airspeed indicator is smart enough to move the redline. Quote: You are saying redline in the 501sp increases with altitude? Does that have to do with weight/fuel burn? I think it has to do with the windshield, and that most birds fly below 14,000 feet.

He called me looking for a PIC for the 501P. He manages the 560 I have flown on Rocker trips. I couldn’t because I was contract flying another 560 (N561PA) for a family out of Miami. That contact came from the fact that the aircraft manager for 561PA and I both had same Citation Simcom instructor. I connected Jesse and Jose. And for those wondering how to get contract work on the side...that’s how it happens. You get known in a network. Help a guy in a pinch and word gets around. I know a guy who knows a guy.

My 501 insurance requires 4000 PIC, 2000 multi, 500 jet and 100 make and model for it to be flown under the "open pilot warranty".. thus, it is actually not easy for me to hire a contract pilot (if I ever wanted) because its hard to find pilots with availability at short notice that have 100 hours of 501 time. Also, its going to take me a lifetime to get to 4000 PIC, 2000 multi so I have always thought "contract flying on the side" as an unachievable dream. I don’t have much issue on the 500 series because I meet open pilot requirements. Just have a current history form and all your paper work and have the owner/manager sent it to insurance. Not real hard. Pretty flexible. I will say showing up at Atlantic KMDW to fly an aircraft I have never flown before with a family I don’t know is a bit intense. Things to consider 1) info for filing. I used the operators fltplan.com account. Had to add me as a pilot on that account 2) I use APG for performance and weight and balance. If the owner or operator uses it too then APG will link it you your account for free. Huge help. I did it manually. Total PITA. 3) make sure all the paper work is on board. 4) talk to pilot who last flew it. Get the “skinny”. 5) get fuel programs and credit cards for fuel and fees. 6) I fly with a Satphone. I was able to text operator with questions in route. 7) get there early, put it on a GPU and get used to panel/FMS. Not for the faint of heart. That said, they are wonder airplanes that have a high dispatch reliability. Also if you are flying in and airlining back that takes planning. Weather was horrific in KPUB on Sunday. So we pushed to Monday. $400 in change fees. Barely made my flight out of KDRO to KPHX. If I missed 1) another change fee 2) hotel 3) owner pays another day rate.

Quote: Do you know Jose Perez? Sure do, have for years! We've even run from the plane to the pilot's lounge to file NASA reports together! (We didn't do anything wrong, just trying to support the community) Hope to meet your part of the "family" sometime. I was at SDL last Thu-Sun and have already shed 2 of the 4 pounds I put on. The hiking plans got murdered by the hideous rain, but restauranting remained on schedule!

That's helpful Mark.. I agree not for the faint of heart. Airlining to contracts with the tight margin must be stressful. It seems like any time I airline these days, if I am unlucky to not have a direct flight, its always hours of delays and cancellations going through hubs.
You are now an "open pilot" for the 500 series, but there must have been a time when you had 0 501 specific time? I couldnt get my insurance company to add a pilot to my policy who met all other requirements and hundreds of hours in a 551, but had 0 501 time.

Will be in SDL in the Excel next Sun-Mon. I could use some restaurant suggestions, and of course I'm always up to meet BTrs for a drink. ( can I say that?)

Be on the look out for Red Bo at KMDW. We are regular visitors there since our middle daughter moved to Chicago and that’s our preferred field and FBO. Their van drops us off at the L station and 15 minutes later we are down town. Usually weekends.
