ifr questions

Looks like we are all saying the same thing but one further suggestion.
I would tend to steer away from the flight manual climb performance. It would be prudent to take the twin engine aircraft flying with a suitably qualified instructor. Conduct a simulated engine failure. Note the conditions of temp, height, weight etc. Compare the actual climb performance with the book performance. If it flies like the book figure, buy the damn aeroplane. Use these figures rather than book figures.. The same can be said for single engine ceilings know what your actual aircraft can achieve. And by that i mean the actual aircraft. Performance is call sign specific.
Why do i keep waking up so early and doing pprune threads.
Cheers
