Well the back of SAF was not quiet. Most of the noise was coming from the door seal which needed some attention, and conversation was difficult. Both 206's I flew in did not have the wind rush - maybe better door seals. The vibration coming up through the floor was much greater than I remember in the prototypes so might be the three bladed prop. Maybe the engine mounts have been varied. And I've prepared prepared the odd "demonstration" aircraft myself, so I'm wary of that. The turbo should be a little quieter given the muffling effect of the turbo. lilflyboy262...2 your protege was fine ... didn't like chocolate Easter eggs though. What's the drill on feathering the PT6 for b&t turnarounds? Incidentally no barriers during dis/embarkation for b&t. KiwiAlex what was the MP and RPM?
