Mike Vidal's Flight Report

Takeoff:
Can be conducted with one or two notches of flaps, two notches are 
better for shorter fields.  Rotation (Vr) is at 105 knots with lift 
off at 110 to 115.  Vzf is at 150 knots. Climbs best at 160 to 180 
and will yield about 1500 to 2000 fpm.

Landing:
Approaches, full flaps, at 125 to 135 knots with about 55 to 60% 
power.  You have to watch her, since if you pull back the power 
back too much, she'll sink on you like mad.  I would suspect that 
the real one would behave the same way.

Specifications:  (FS5.1 airspeed indicator is calibrated in KNOTS!)
