[@AbsolutelyEverybody1]

What sound is that?

[@Zircuitz]

@@AbsolutelyEverybody1 It's the "beta" thrust setting. Basically the blades on the propeller is switching direction, blowing air forwards instead of backwards. Very efficient way to slow the plane down.

Pure magic

What's it like to fly? In NZ we use them for shorthaul domestic flights and I've been on them a few times. Aside from being a bit noisy in the cabin I really like them. I want to know your thoughts as a pilot

I absolutely loved flying the 100. Fantastic machine for short take off and landing. Most of the airstrips I flew these into were short 3500 foot gravel strips and this plane was perfect for that. I could have a fully loaded 100 down and stopped in 800 feet!
