New BFI VFR Transition Routes
The updated VFR procedures at BFI are finally in effect as of today – you can find them here or on the Seattle VFR Flyway Planning Chart, which is printed on the reverse side of the Seattle Terminal Area Chart (TAC).
Be sure to take a good look as there a good number of new departure and arrival routes and names!
OIL TEMP on departure
As we’re entering the colder time of the year again, this is a recurring reminder that all engine instruments need to be in the green prior to departure.
On cooler days – or on the first flight of a day – in can take several minutes all the way into the runup phase before the oil temperature is in the green.
With the Twin Star, insufficient oil temperature can also lead to the ECU TEST buttons having no effect during runup.
Please be patient, and wait that extra minute or so before proceeding with the runup so that you have a safe flight – treat any aircraft engine like your life depends on it!
