Hi all.
I'm interested in the performance figures for the so called "minibus" lot: 18/19/20/21, from take off to cruise. Specifically, what speeds (IAS/Mach) and rates of climb (fpm) and N1% (or EPR?) thrust settings are used at each.
I know wind, weight, OAT etc make a difference, and my choice of aircraft may render different answers but I'd have thought they'd all be around the same?
For example: Take off power 90%N1. ROC 2000FPM. Until 6,000 where you drop to 1800fpm and 87%N1 at 230 knots etc etc.. until FL320 for example.
Something like that. I suppose my particular interest is in the 320/321.
I anxiously await my replies
