lol okay so whats the deal with the WS heat? How should we be using them to avoid any damage to you know where?How about headsets? Can we use regular jet headsets or do we dig up those old DCs to avoid any futher heading loss.
During the start sequence can you hear interference from the ignition system in your headset?

I use the David Clark X-11's they work just fine. Friends of mine use the QC2, the Bose X or just regular DC's.

Generally try to land with about 1000 lbs. Places like LAX or SFO, where there is usually plenty of nearby suitable airports I'm comforatable landing with about 700 lbs if need be, for weight restrictions or whatever. Places like LAS, where the nearest suitable airport is at least 45 minutes away, I'm a little more conservative, I've seen Vegas close down due to winds in a hurry, and it sucks to be over the airport with minimum fuel. But I'd say 900-1000 lbs reserve seems to be average, at least for us.

Okay guys need a little help with the climb speeds. I know some guys use the 118As and 118Bs but anybody have a good idea how the 118s perform and what climb speeds would best fit that engine?
I know some guys are using 180/170, some Aps are setup with 155 as initial and then reducing after 20k, other APs are setup at 170 and then reducing to 155. What's best for the 118s climb speed wise?

I know in my time in it, the heavier you are, the more momentum you'll need to get up into the flight levels. Above 24,000 lbs, I will do a 190 to 200 knot climb. That'll get you a good climb rate and plenty of energy up to about 18 or 20,000 feet. Above that, 180 knots works for a while until 500 fpm, then finish out the climb at 500 fpm. Below 24000 lbs, 180 knots works fine all the way up to 22 to 23,000 feet, then gradually bleeds off.
If it's cold, airplane very happy. When it's warm, airplane not so happy. When it's warm, the 190 to 200 kt climb works well.
