Thumbs up

On careful scrutinization of the Jeppesen HL 11/12. A flight across the D.R.C in a BE20 that block TAS's at 285 kts would infer one pax plus crew, which questions its "extreme versatility" and financila viability. Although landing comfortably within 1000m is run of the mill, the ASDA and net take-off path performance seem to be somewhat outside the ICAO requirements...? However, my findings are based on the old (1994) BB model graphs. I have negligently not attained the latest performance graphs and am VERY eager to get my hands on them, so I too can achieve the mentionned performances, increasing revenue to my operator and securing my future position, even though I do not hold a TEST PILOT rating.
An added note to one of the "better machines":
GENERAL pls fax suggestions on how I could reduce my two pages of differed snags and AOG snags to 0800-LETSBSCAA
Provided that the above mentionned snag list excludes the aircon, it IS a "pleasure to fly"...
