Oklahoma is a bit of a jaunt don't you think?

Actually built into my iPhone. Hold, hi-light needed text and select translate from the pop-up features. Easy peasy Welkomen Peter!

Hello dear Commander lovers, I am Peter 45 years old and come from Koblenz / Germany and am currently still flying a Socata TB 10. I'm looking for a Commander 112 TC / TCA or up. If someone wants to sell their sweetheart, they are welcome to let me know. I am happy to be among you. Thank...

Are you broke or just need to pretty up your fuel lines?

Jovin. Just a question. Did you pump the right side first?

Actually, if water is in there ( unless you pumped more water then fuel, it takes about an hour for the water to settle to the lowest point. Should be something about that in the POH or manual. Also, you should sump at a trickle or you will agitate the water back into the fuel. FWIW

What are you doing hanging out on the Beech board Pat?

Correct. I thought you were talking airframe MTOW progression from 112 on. The weight increase caused the reduction in hours on wing life. In reality, landing cycles would have been better, but much harder to track.

The 3 blade is installed per STC and no supplemental insert for the POH. No change in MTOW or performance.

……and at 5000’ you’ll have plenty of throttle left.

Here’s a true story from a couple of days ago. I had sent my turbo controller out for overhaul. After installing it, I took it up to 12.5K to check it out. I was a little past half throttle at 25” MP. Pushed the throttle forward and 71W actually leaped forward and set me back in the seat. Before...

The 112TC boost is 42” and it goes from 200 to 210 HP. The 114 NA and normalized is 260 HP. The NA starts dropping off with your DA before even leaving the runway. The HS takes 260 HP up to a high altitude. Sorry, I don’t have the POH in front of me, but Carl can answer what altitude it starts...

Thanks Gary.

Hi Gary, If it’s not too much to relive, can you share the story of what happened?
