There is a huge variation depending on weight and altitude and temperature.
I have seen as high as 4000fpm but I suspect that there was some wave lift present. I have also seen a little as 900fpm after takeoff from Minden on a 100F day. This may not seem too bad until you consider that Vy is 155kts which is a pretty high TAS at 6000' and 90F+. The climb angle was pretty pathetic. Actually it was a little scary. That was the last time I took off at gross weight from a high altitude airport on a scorching day. Typical climbout is about 2000fpm at heavy weights. After about 14,000' climb rate slows and is about 1,000fpm at FL220 and 400fpm at FL290. Mike MU-2 "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:CMNEb.605907$Fm2.549685@attbi_s04... Fair enough. I suspect that if you were in a Learjet climbing over 6,000fpm, that even your ears might complain a little. Yeah, but it would be worth the pain! :-) How fast does your MU-2 climb, Mike? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
