I do not remember the power settings anymore, except that the FADEC used a system of "Power Units" for the reduced power take-off setting.

We flew it as fast as we could as someone had done the math and figured that was the lowest cost way to fly the airplane, at least at that time.

The T/O setting had the propellors at 1100 RPM and the climb and cruise settings at 950 RPM. Honestly, I don't remember much else. It flies like any other airplane though..... Pull back and the houses get smaller. Push forward and they get bigger. Single engine requires a fair amount of rudder, but that's normal for any airplane with two engines not in line with each other......

Sorry I can't be of more help. Enjoy the airplane! And know that anything you learn on your PC will go out the window on the first day of training........

Drinking from a fire hose is what we call it in the US at your first airline job.

Here are a few shots I found on my computer. I loved flying in Europe a lot more than in the US, that's for sure.

Mods: I hope it's OK that I posted a few pics.....
