Re: 112 Hot Shot If I recall correctly, the service ceiling for the 112HS is around FL220.

Re: 112 Hot Shot For the hot shot you should not exceed 28" MP. You should takeoff at 28" MP and then cruise at no more than 26.5" MP

Re: Super Commander owners The 112 hotshot's climb at 90 KIAS is roughly 600fpm from SL to 16K, so, the climb to 16K is roughly 26 minutes. I know the Super is normally aspirated, so, that's why I asked if it would beat a 112 hotshot to 16k.

Re: Super Commander owners 14k in 20 min, 700fpm? I really thought rate of climb of the Super Commander was the big selling point. I wonder if our 112 hotshots can get up to 16K faster than a Super Commander ... Carl, can they?

Re: Climb Speeds with Hotshot For climb, I use 26", 2600 RPM, and 90 KIAS from SL to cruise altitude. I see climb rates from 400 fpm to 1000 fpm depending on weight and air temp. Climb rates seem constant up to FL 150.
