Phenom and TR's

[rajflyboy]

From what I can tell the phenom has no TR's. What do you think of this? Is it an issue? or not? or is it just pure rinky dink?

I know that TR's are not counted in the stopping distance on most part 25 certificated aircraft.

What about those few days a year with a wet runway, snow covered runway, etc. when it would be really nice to have TR's?

Landing distance at MLW is only 2600 ft, according to Embraer's web site. Even 135 60% margin is only 4300 ft. I have no idea what the contaminated numbers look like, but performance w/o TRs looks pretty good.

It's another potential maintenance issue with TRs. Don't need really them, although they (ERJ) saved quite a bit of money not putting them on.

The CJ3 doesn't have them either.

 

[DAS at 10/250]

The CE680 has them and doesn't need them.

 

[Praetorian]

The C-152 doesn't have them either.

 

[jonjuan]

Nor CJ4.

What in the hell does transformer/rectifiers have to do with stopping distance?!

[say again]

Some hawkers don't have them. Really aren't necessary for many aircraft.
