DA20 question(s)

PilotYIP...
Maybe you haven't read my profile. I'm not a freight dog anymore, just a spoiled (and luvin' it ) 121 pilot. When I was a freight dog, we loaded everything, except when the pick up was in Mexico. Obviously, ActiveAero is a cut above the other lower tier cargo carriers.

OBTW Baron all the training, maintenance and dispatch for our DA-20's is 121, so our pilots must be living the good life also.

Active Aero ain't what it used to be. Who moved my cheese?

Oh, and just to clarify...

If you are heavy, the most economical climb profile would be a high speed climb to a lower cruise altitude, and then step up as you get lighter. If you are light, a lower speed climb to a higher altitude is better. Just because you can get there, doesn't mean a higher altitude will be more fuel efficient. If you are climbing into a strong wind, go faster. If you are climbing with a tailwind, go slower.
