Lear 20's Power settings

[LearjetGA]

The RPTO idea came after i talked to a guy working for a 135 company in one of the carolinas. He told me that they had RPTO settings approved by the FAA. I was pretty curious about it because i never heard about it, that's why the question came up. At simuflight, nobody knows about it.

Another question, anybody out there who goes higher than FL450 in a 25D with the 510 cabin ?

I believe, in a 25D with the 51,000 ft cabin, the aircraft approved to go above FL450 are the ones equipped with the engine stall provisions. I am not sure of all of the details as to what this includes as it has been a while (auto-ignition is one of the things). I had heard at one point though that the FAA came back and made operators change the restrication in the AFM to limit operations at FL450 on all Lear 20 series, but I don't know the accuracy to this. Any current Lear driver out there with any further info?

Happy flying!!

never heard of a 25 certified to go higher than 450, but they will definitly go up there........
Any 25 pilot tight on fuel (hello!!!) will attest it is very tempting to pop up to FL490 and clear wx instead of zig zaging around it..
but i heard lots of stories of flame-outs.....bummer...

Whats with the reduced power T/Os????
I thought the only thing good about flying that old junk was waking EVERYONE up at that god-forsaken hour which that rat-$%^# charther operator has you flying!!!
COME ON HAVE SOME FUN.
