Cool

Evening.All pretty much covered by previous posts.

I fly the 343 for M Rats,and the engines are running at full tilt,on take off,which always gets my attention,they are older machines,though.Im still amazed they run so close to the limit,but they do the job.

That said,the V2+15ktsto 1500,rarely proves a problem, we need to climb at 250 kts plus,in order to achieve the "green dot" spd,and that results in an auto flao retract,its the next bit,where climb is less responsive,once up there its a nice ship though,and usually the engines have cooled down.

The 345,is however rather more lively,fitted with Rollers X4.

Nice work as always,in London ATC.

Cheers,QB
