Default Takeoff/stall tests today w/VG's...

Hi John!

Q 1-- No gross is 2325 lbs....

Q 2 - Lotsa stalls , before and after installation, under the most
controlled conditions we could manage.

The mods have lowered our stall speed, at all flap settings, by at
least 4 knts, so were are adjusting our approach speeds
accordingly....

With this load/wind, we are now adjusting our approach speed down by 4
knts and IF I planted on the numbers, moderate braking (no squeaking
the tires) stopped us before the 500 ft rny marker every time.


Q1: Is 1986 the a/c max gross weight?

Q2: How did you arrive at the 4 kts number?
