It makes the writer more credible, grounds the piece with real, gritty details, and can even educate the reader to some extent. Also, your SkyVector recommendation worked out great; I have a rough path worked out with 7 stops, all of which fall within the 771 NM range except for one, which is 772. I'll make this an important plot point. | |

Per your other question, a risk taking pilot smuggling passengers in an urgent situation probably wouldn't be too concerned with deplaning passengers to meet some safety statute. I might recommend you find a local Twin Otter operator, buy him or her dinner, and pick their brain on these sort of things. Maybe ask to crawl around the airplane a little. The details will lend authenticity to your work. | |
