I'm trying to crosscheck some performance data I've received from Embraer regarding the Brasilia. Can anyone provide the following data.

TAS and Fuel Burn per hour for F150, F200 and F250 at ISA+10 and ISA+20. Need the MC and LRC figures.

Fuel required/used for start-up, taxi and climbout. Embraer's figure is 50 kgs.

In general what tends to cause the most tech delays with the aircraft. I've heard the props can be a problem.

Thanks in Advance

Use 80 kgs for startup and taxi fuel.

Never had any probs with the props, a few probs with flaps occasionaly (the achilles heal of the bras). Other than that, usually a very good ship techincally wise.

But in general, plan at 280 knots tas, with a fuel burn of 1200 lbs for first hour (inc climb), then 1000lbs per hour after that. (Cruise at FL210 to FL220 - optimum)
