I flew with this guy as a technician once. He also took a Premier that was loaned to him by Raytheon off the end of a runway in Hartford, CT while we were working on his Premier he had before this one. It was rock, paper, scissors to see who had to go on that check flight with him, I lost.
He came into KHXD regularly and had a rep. for using all available runway!
While this pilot clearly had no business flying, rolling to the end of a 4,000' runway is acceptable. Especially in a swept wing jet with no thurust-reversers. Roll to the end, save the brakes.
I guess your comments are fine but why drag up something a year old.
this pilot would always come in hot I have flown a premier 1A and FYI have over 18,000 hours je also had the girl that was with him in the left seat. read Wade Potter's coment. Also a heavy 1A would need to get on the brakes at KHXD especially when wet.
A veteran....here is when he ran his King Air out of fuel with same tail number...
