Cessna/Reims F406

[661 KTAS]

Hi people,

I have just scored a job flying a F406 and will be starting endorsment training next week and was hoping to find some people on here who have flown one of these machines before.

Any hints or tricks that will help me out ?? Any known problems ??

Ive been trying to find a Pilots Operating Handbook for the aircraft but cant seem to find anyone that will sell them. Any ideas ??

Any info would be greatly appriecated !

Thanks!

It's been a few years since I flew them but I think the Vat was about 98kts and the torque about 20 ft/lbs for a stable approach.

Careful with the weight and balance with the section aft of the cargo door; it's a long way back there.

Otherwise, I remember it as quite an easy aircraft to fly. The trailing links make every one a winner when it comes to landing!

Been flying them for a couple of years now. Nice little aircraft, can be a handful at times but more because of the single pilot aspect rather than the acft. If you want anything more specific send me an e mail

Cheers
