    Hi Don,

    We met at the Cheyenne PPP, I am one of the new instructors.  I have a client who has a Bravo and I wanted to ask if you wouldn't mind sharing your speeds and checklist document or any other document where your discuss the key number concept '53'.  I would like to use it to help my client with proper engine management.

    Regards,

    Geoff Reid.

      Hi Geoff,

      I've attached my speeds and checklist document.  The key number 53 for the Bravo is confirmed from the red Lycoming manual.  I fly at 75% power: 29" MP, 2400 RPM.  I lean to keep my TIT at 1600°F or lower.  At that power setting the FF should be between 17.5 and 18 gal/hour ROP.  I don't fly Lycomings LOP.

      Thanks Don.  Hope to see you in Branson.

    Another option is Curtis Jackson in south Dallas. 919.333.7919

    Rumor has it there may be one in Europe next year...

    I suppose that settles it. Perhaps the OP can advise if speed brakes are installed...

    Nope, fuel tank vent line.

    Fly it imbalanced by hand well trimmed then let go. If wing dips on the full side, consider that as potential personal limit for your bird. The state of your rigging will impact this as well.

    Pass the keys to your friendly CFI and have them fly it occasionally. In all seriousness, best thing for airplanes is to fly, worst is to sit, even well prepped.

    He said he has the whole type s kit.

    Don Maxwell has the nose gear doors per a conversation with Paul last Thursday.

    They are also easily fabricated.

    As stated the prop is likely worth 5 kts but only at high altitude, i.e above FL 180 I have a non-S with tks and had the flap gaps seals added and the flight data showed a 3-5kts increase in speed in the mid teens. The cost was about $1,500 for the install and paint.
  13. Geoff
    The adhesive should be allowed to set for 6 hours before flight.

    Suggest adding this to preflight activity. A little nudge on the strip will give you an indication if the glue is letting go.
  15. Geoff
    I added the flap seals to my non-S 2007 Acclaim and it was worth an honest 3-4 kts @ 15,000. FYI I have FIKI so YMMV.
