NOTAM: This Aircraft is in FS2000 Format

MS Patch #2 should be Installed
It is available from microsoft.com and SurClaro
plus other Flightsim sites on the Net.

To install: UnZip to your FS2000\AIRCRAFT Folder using
WinZip or similar program making sure the paths option
(Use Subfolders) is turned on.


Then add your favorite turboprop sound files and panel
and go flying.

I can recommend a not very huge, but still complete set
of sounds named: DHC6JB02.zip (or later), by Jens Borgstroem.

A few words from Jens Borgstroem re. the handling and such.
Here's a few facts and figures :

Speeds:
-------
Max speed VNE set to: 235 KIAS and 40 Mach
Fast cruise ( not max. ) is 182-190KIAS
Ord. / eco. cruise is 165 - 172KIAS

At FL 210 these are the figures:
N1 = 98 pct approx.
Spd = 172KIAS / 39Mach

Climb rate in FT/min:
---------------------
Climb <4.000 = 1.400 - 1.500
Climb 4.000 - 8.000 = 1.200
Climb 8.000 - 14.000= 1.000
Above = 800 - 900

........

Approach ( eg. og std 3* glideslope ):
--------------------------------------
approx. 20 NM out - reduce speed to round 150 KIAS
approx. 10NM out - set first flap and reduce to 125 ( comes by itself )
approx. 7NM out - set next flap and reduce to 110
approx. 4NM out - set full flaps and reduce to 90-100, and let the speed
wear off so on final you 'float in' at round 90 over threshold and 83
on touchdown ( on final possibly third notch flaps ).

Slight flare is necessary at touchdown.

On approach she is comming in rather flat, like the real bird.
