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.

Remember this aircraft has reversed thrust / reversing prop pitch, which
is activated by pressing ( default ) F2 key.
