Re: QualityWings BAE/Avro Jets Question Please
I flew the RJ85 today, close to max ZFW and 6 Tonnes of fuel.
Used 1100Kg climbing to FL240 if that helps as a weasure.
I have accepted your VA Pilot application, just need to get you some type ratings now

Are you using the TRP panel to reduce thrust limit after take off? Generally I start reducing from MAX as soon as gear is up, further red...
