Vpf,

Fair enough haha. The islander I feel has a very poorly written POH but reading mine it says the aircraft should maintain 7000 feet on one engine feathered. I've done about 5 or 6 CofA flight test and post maintenance tests also with engine fully shut down. I've had one failure in flight but that was in the injected 300 HP due to a fault in the tip tank system. That luckily had no pax but all the test flights were within 100 lbs of MAUW.

I always liked to think that the bn2 flies better with no engines than some twins on one haha.

Must of been brilliant flying in the Falklands on them.

Has anyone heard anymore on the Antigua crash yet?

Cheers,
