I think that covers it very nicely, VF. This is not a good place for student pilots to build hours.
What always strikes me is the way the peak of Everest can be CAVU within 500 meters, but near the rock you are in whiteout conditions. A challenging place to fly. Requires high performance machinery operating at red-line. Better you than me, matey. :) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....d987772ce3.jpg near to Camp 2 Sagarmatha :* |

VF could never admit being in a 407. They run out of puff at 500ft and are a terrible substitute for a flying rodent :} |
500ft??
that must be the high performance model right? |
Namaste VF,
Your posts just continue to blow me away, they really are an amazing collection of photos from such an amazing looking place. Must visit it sometime before I die! Keep up the great work! JBL |

Hey there BR..........that high? :E That's just a GXP, lots of pretty console distractions for VFR, but not much in the grunt department :uhoh:
What are the pros and cons of 2 bladed system at high altitude? |
I'm also having a little difficulty understanding the statement "...but not much in the grunt department...' (#5382). It's hard to believe that a 407GXP doesn't do well in Nepal. Some sour grapes perhaps?

Compared to 206BIII, according to the books 407 has extra 230hp which I believe and only an extra 330lb (empty) which I find hard to believe... And also according to the books the 407 has an extra 5000' of service ceiling???

Unless you work for Airbus, that can explain your statement.. |

I don't think you know what you are talking about, clearly you haven't seen the GXP perform at high altitude.
