| Comments: | Flight crew flew low approaches at MZS Italian station (alternate site). Also completed 3 additional takeoffs and landings, giving each PIC an opportunity to practice. Runway conditions were reported as good. During initial taxi, crew identified a bleed air issue starting up engine #4 at the pits; the crew repaired the issue and the P3 took off – this repair was very fast. P-3 flight crew did a fantastic job during this check flight. | ||||
