Seneca Vs. Duchess

[StrykerFL]

Critical Engine

A critical engine is the engine that takes you to the scene of the accident.

If its a seneca 1, I wouldn't land with more than 1 notch of flaps with no one in the back. Very easy to hit the nose gear 1st. I flew a seneca 1 with aftermarket Ray-Jay turbochargers. A marked improvemant over the normally aspirated model (especially out in Denver, where I flew it).

Skyking-

I just retrim a little after adding the full flaps. We had two examples of the Seneca 1, and I never hit a nosewheel. Never had a CG problem either.

Your results may not be typical, void where prohibited by law, slippery when wet, this coffee is hot.

ERAU Duchess

Does anyone know if Embry-Riddle is selling their line of Duchess's. I know they've replaced them with the Seminole.

Timebuilder...

I had tried that in the past but I found that I got softer landings with only 1 notch. If it ain't broke...

Thanx anyway...

Cheers,
