Centurion Seven Six Charlie -On Board

On board Seven Six Charlie

Wishful thinking!

Overview

For those of you who have flown on light planes previously, you will know that they are not large inside, and the Centurion is no exception. The cabin is about the size of a Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7-Series sedan, except that it has three rows of seats and is somewhat longer. There's no standing up or walking around and, yes, there is no lavatory!

On the Centurion there is room for one pilot and five passengers, and you will be seated in either one of the two rear rows of seats or the right front seat. In the right front seat, you will not only have a great view forward, but will also be right in front of the instrument panel, with even more to see!

Safety & Comfort

When on board seat belts are worn at all times. For anyone sitting in the right front seat, the pilot will instruct you on how to open/close the right side door (very easy!). For those flights at higher altitudes (typcially above 12,000'), an oxygen mask will be made available to you, as the Centurion is not pressurized. Most flights, however, will be flown at altitudes where oxygen will not be required.

Seats can be reclined (front and middle rows only), and fresh air vents are located above your head..

Feel free to bring along a snack or beverage if you wish. NOTE: We would prefer that beverages be in bottles, and if you wish to bring a Thermos bottle containing a hot beverage, you must advise the pilot of this prior to boarding.

Light airplanes are very loud inside, thus for ease of communication, and to protect your hearing, you may wish to wear a comfortable pair of Active Noise Reduction (ANR) Headphones. These will be offered to you, but their use is optional. The headphones have a "boom" microphone, and are connected to the airplane's intercom system. When wearing the headphones you will place the microphone just in front of your lips, then speak in a normal voice. The intercom system is voice-activated, and there is no need to push a button when you wish to speak.
