LET 410
 

PLEASE!
I need any information you can give me on the LET 410. Anyone out there flies/has flow it? What are they like?

Thanks In advance

Hi there,

They are nice aeroplanes - reasinably economical and carry are reasonable load. Also nice and easy to fly. Operator I flew for used to employ pilots with 200 hours into the right hand seat.

From a maintenance side also a good plane. Reliable engines that give very few problems.

Good short field performance & excellent rough field capability - it is built like a brick toilet(to coin a phrase). :D They tell me that you can land on a beach with it - if you can walk on the sand you can land on it. Never tried the beach thing, but I got the nosewheel stuck in sand once up in Bazaruto - would probably have broken the nosewheel off a lesser aircraft.

On the downside, it is slow and has a somewhat limited range, especially the 3D model(without the tip tanks, but I think uncertifiable in RSA anyway).

Anyway hope it helps.

Regards
:)

Thanks 4g...I appreciate that.
Send my regards to Anton R. when you see him(he was on J41 the last time I heard)..
