Hi fellow pilots.

Contact Ariben or skymate. Ariben had a real nice one put together when I was there years ago. I'll look in the tree house when I get home and PM you if I run across it.
PS
COLT RULES!!!!!!!!

Okay, not schematic related, but,

Why is Vxse and Vyse the same on the Duchess? Does that mean that we are at the service ceiling when we are at takeoff?

Vxse / Vyse

It is certainly possible that you might be at the single engine service ceiling at take-off. The climb capability of the aircraft is dependent on a number of factors. However, I don't think having a common Vxse and Vyse speed are indicators of that condition.

I generally fly the Duchess fairly light, full fuel but only two people. The single engine rate of climb is downright respectable coming off the near sea level airports I usually fly out of and in to. I was two up and half fuel at 8000 last week doing a drag demo and we were getting climb rates in some configurations even up there. It was pretty cold.

The speeds are the same because when they tested the performance, those were the results. The only difference between a regular take-off and a short field take-off in the Duchess is full power before brake release and pull smartly, rather than gently, on the yoke at 71 KIAS while pitching for 85 KIAS.

You and Tataki can PM me. This book is deep with plenty of pix. This Be-76 looks just like a navajo without the supercharger
