ATC will consider you a rolling roadblock in the climb and take you off the SID if you go out of busy places.
At altitude those little engines just sip fuel. You’re talking 700lbs/hr.
If memory serves me right you need like 75-80% N1 for the wing anti ice to get hot enough so you can’t do a chop and drop with wing anti ice ON. Watch out with the window heat bleed air as on HIGH it will melt the windshield on the ground.
Turn window de fog on at TOD if you go into any southern state.
A 40-50F EGT split can indicate a busted bleed air precooler.
If you go to CAE Morristown they’ll show you pictures of what happens when a precooler ruptures.
Other then that it’s a delight to fly.

278 VMo does get you booted off of SIDs/STARs, though...

Easy airframe to fly, forgiving, reliable.
