Jassy<p>It appears that since recently I'm sitting more often in the right seat. No matter if as PAX or PIC 🤷 <br>And I tried and compared the A/C with the shortest and with the longest wingspan of our fleet. <br>Roll rate, stability and the relation of speed and lift are interesting 🤩</p><p>Our BZF Theory Class Session afterwards was also good fun.
