Why is this M350 delivering such low climb performance? This is your second PA46 video showing 500 ft/min. Is this really all it can do? My acquaintances flying PA46 say they get more like 600-800 with CHTs well below 400. Can you explain?
Hi Antoine, Your acquaintances are not wrong. At lower density altitudes when making a full 42” of power and with alternate air closed it will readily do what they say it will do. It will even fly the ODP out of Vail CO in snow (815 ft/nm). It won’t do that above 10,000 or with even a minor induction leak. This aircraft had a minor induction leak (I think). There is also a fine line between proper use and abuse. .. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR
