Namaste twinstar_ca

Haaar yar would be beaut to have a GX here but sadly a no-go, as competition is hurting everyone & FTA wont spend the money on a 407 till the market $$$ improves I reckon the upgraded engine would be a winner here, giving a run for it's money on the 350B3's hmmmm well at least below 18,000'

Hey Peter-RB

hehehehe the air is so thick, movement becomes difficult & excessive O2 means You need to spend more $$$ on Beer to get the same effect

Hi melmothtw

520N = sexy, sleek, safe, quiet....end of her usefulness In reality the NOTAR is mushy, sluggish & insanely power hungry; so effectively useless up here

G'day Soave_Pilot

Yep all that most of the time & of course always on the limits when it comes to power-margin & options Winds here can vary rapidly from nil to 80+knots depending on the location at VNJS winds hit 120knots a few times a year so You can imagine the turbulence is frightening at times & holding airspeed is a serious challenge

Hey Gordy

Yep I concur in fact I could imagine the NOTAR would be totally useless above 6,000' @ ISA+30º
