Converting onto fixed-gear Saratoga

[zanshin999]

Derek Gunning will be my instructor on the Saratoga. 👍

Thanks for this - I’d heard about the Arrow’s T tail characteristics, it’s non-turbo by the way. So is the Saratoga - “Range is more valuable than speed” very true.

Thanks for the advice, I’ve made up an excel version of the aircraft’s weight and balance sheet, playing around with fuel and payloads to see how each affects the CofG. I’m going to make another spreadsheet with runway conditions, surfaces, wind etc with 4 people to give me a feel for what to expect. The aircraft is G-BVWZ, by the way, 1989 vintage.
