Thanks for everyone's responses. I am somewhat lacking in knowledge at this point; I know my desires but not the specifics of implementation. By the time this plane is built the kids will probably be 5 or more years older but if my friend with the Velocity lets me rent it it may be an issue sooner. He can't legally rent you his Velocity. I know that planes gain efficiency at altitude but I don't know how high one must go to realize those gains. I just assumed that with a service ceiling over FL200 that pilots would generally want to go there. My CFI flies King Air 350's and Citation Jets for hire so I am used to hearing about his experiences, something very different than the flying I will be doing. Ask you CFI about it. While the Velocity is a hell of a plane it isn't a Citation or King Air. |
