Seems like a good summary of the presentation.
The only discrepancy I could find was that the margin of error wasn’t 3% on landing. It was 3kts, between stalling and landing too fast to make a stop on the runway.

Unrelated but still sort of fitting.

No, not in a while at least. I could get it as a first officer, but then I’d have to start commuting to another base. I’m better off as a commander on the Dash8, for now. Would be fun, though! 
And, if the plans hold water, we’ll be getting 15 of these beauties. So, in time…

There is nothing like being Captain of your own ship. I hope you are enjoying the left seat after all that hard work!

Always thought this aircraft was a sharp looking one. Also loved the cockpit avionics set-up as well. Use to fly one all the time in FSX. Was my favorite module to use in that simulation.

Such a gorgeous little jet the Albatros … mesmerizing vid … TFP.
BTW, I get paranoid whenever someone tells me what we’re about to do is “perfectly legal”. 
I think that I need to return to the airline industry!

That’s an amazing piece of technology that elicits a belief that there is no limit to what mankind can create. Thanks for linking.

Always amazes me how busy the cockpit is during a short flight.

Short flights like this are very busy, at least for the PM/PNF.
I really love when experience and skill brings such an adventure to a nice ending.
It’s extremely frustrating to not have time to eat catering…
