Metro/B1900

[time builder]

and why would anyone want to slow down to 170??

Exactly.

"Redline is a goal, not a limit!" Actually had to pull the power back in a Metro II to keep it under 246 in the (slow)-climb once in the NE. Dont think that will happen again! Just curious what the max GS you sewertube drivers have accomplished? 406 kts. in a metro II @ 230 here.

I've seen over 400 on a winter night heading eastbound over west Texas.

One of our pilots in SLC claims 420 on a descent.

He never said the DME was functioning properly. 396 is my personal record, but my best prolonged speed is 354 one winter night on the way back from ABQ to the Dub.

In the Metroliner: 360 over the ground Rota to Naples with a 100 kt TW. During the winter I would routinely get 0.52 IMN in the descent. That and $1.50 gets a cup of coffee at starbucks!

He also never said it was in a Metro.

We're puting 'em in the Bros just for you intheBUFFdrvr. They are not to be used on f.o.'s without sufficient provocation, or on poor Metro reserves who are just trying to bum a little heat during peak.

KSU,
I forgot that you have Thundertank time. I should have known it was in that instead of the Metro.

 

[TheBaron]

Just curious...

Does the Metro or the Beech have an A/P installed? I thought 135 op-specs required an A/P if an SIC is not there...?

Auto-pilot in lieu of Second in Command OpSpec is required for passenger carrying ops only. Can't remember but I think it is limited to 9 passenger seats.
None of the old Metros I flew single pilot had A/P's.

Thundertank? I think that is going to be your new nick name if Texas looses this weekend.

 

[DirtyBeech]

Deal. Just tell your boys to try and keep us under half a hundy on the scoreboard. Your only prayer is that Kansas winter weather strikes this weekend.

Am I gonna have to separtate you two???
