Fuel load for around 4 hours of flight, and only one pilot on board, and it can only do 400 FPM at 3000 feet? Dunno. I would have thought it better than that. Nowdays, I would think that is still pretty poor for a brand-new designed twin. Anyone else have an opinion on the subject? Opinions are plenty, and cheap... But you asked, so here goes: The single-engine rate-of-climb seems little relevant to me. I always understood if one engine quits, the mission is to come down safely, not to go up. And then again, 400 fpm isn't that bad after one engine quits. Few single-engined planes can claim such a figure! Such stuff... Where did you get that misguided notion? Richard, meseemeth you misread me (which would mean my writing was insufficiently clear). Do you really know of any single-engined aircraft that can climb at 400 fpm after one engine quits? |
