Thanks Shawn.
I highly doubt I will be flying a Jetbox anytime soon but thanks for the kind offer.

I have the charts for the machines I fly now. As you say sometimes you have to dig deep to find the charts. In the 92 I recall they are in "supplementary performance"

Due to the long legs we fly offshore we nearly always go high and upon occasion need to use best range power. Amazing how much range you can get if you really need it.

I recall that the AS350 D with the LTS101 would go a heck of a long way further down the road at 9000 -10000 ft using "best range" vs 500 AGL and 80% Q.
A lot of folks just don't know a lot about the use of altitude and best range power as they just never need to do it.

Cheers and all the best in 2014
