CL-30 Speculation?

[osy007]

From BCA(not the write-up but a snippet a few pages prior on page 48), Max ramp 40,750, MTOW 40,600, and MLW 34,150. Previous was 39,000, 38,850 and 33,750 respectively. Snippet says mid-2013 for the upgrade but main write-up says with SN405. It's too bad that the MLW is still so low.
.

but at least the MTOW is being increased..KBOS to KSFO is a pain with 9 pax and a load of bags..

Phew, thought it was just my a/c..Glad to hear that it's just every 300!

Nope. You are not alone...

rumor is they are working on software improvements to improve the autopilot in the future. We'll see!

Funny, I thought the autopilot just followed the flight director. I'd take a drunken grizzly I was flying over the POS Honeywell I'm flying now every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

The schoolhouse said Bombardier will be introducing the CL300NG at EBACE this year. Increased gross weight (as advertised here), more gas, more thrust and the avionics upgrade. The old bag also mentioned the test pilots have flown the plane at 44,000 lb, but it's not public knowledge yet. Be interesting to see how much actually happens.....
