I fly the 328J for Delta Connection. Very nice plane.
We are not cert to do reduced thrust t/o's yet, so on a normal climb out the Rate of climb would be around 3500-4500 fpm to 10000ft. (eng's are flat rated at 6050 lbs)At MBRW (34524lbs) it would be around 3500fpm. Wings are not swepted, so a normal crz at say Fl250-FL310 would be .64M
(385TAS). Flight plan fuel flow is 2000lbs/hr. Total usable fuel is 7800 lbs. No rev for landing, just brakes and ground spoilers. They seem to do the trick.
The plane handles like a big C-172 with a crosswind of more than 15kts. (Max is 24kts)High wing/high mounted eng's/feeder tanks out on wing tips, all make for a fun t/o/landing. Don't fly is plane to Wellington (NZ) on a windy day!!!
Avionics are P2000. 5 CRT, FMS with VNAV. no A/T. EICAS, TCASII, and lots more. Systems are very staight forward.
I think they go for a cool US$11 mill.
