Not that I would be trying to make Class A but according to the definition of service ceiling shouldn't this plane be able to at least make FL180 and then some? Yes, but you probably wouldn't want to do it. It would probably take a long time to climb that high in a naturally-aspirated airplane, then there's the bother and discomfort of wearing a mask once you got there. I think you'll find the low teens is as high as you'll want to go in the airplane you're proposing. -- Dan T-182T at BFM |
