Maybe all the old guys -- like me -- are retired and the new kids didn't get the word. Anyway -- I swear on a stack of Bibles this is true -- the correct SHPs should be 550 for the 90s (except F90, that has 750), 850 for the 200s, and 1050 for the 300-series. The original straight 90 as well as the A90 -- with the PT6A-6 and PT6A-20, respectively -- had their SHP flat-rated to 500. The full 550 was used from the B90 onward.

Of course, the TBM doesn't have a relief tube  Two relief tubes in my plane: one under the pilot's seat and one in back. I recently received rave reviews from a user of the facilities in back: mentioned how effective the suction was several times  Won't mention names.

I recently received rave reviews from a user of the facilities in back: mentioned how effective the suction was several times ;) Won't mention names. Same setup in my 421. One of the new mechanics has never been the same around me since I showed him how to use the intercom during an inspection. "Yeah....I can hear you now"

I don't know whats the big thing about a relief tube, a good Tide bottle works for me.

Username Protected wrote: Not me. We do the flights the PC12 guys turn down when the "Risk Matrix" for the PC12 doesn’t add up. The 100/1 departure out of Billings MT in a blizzard at 2am for example. With 4 King Air 200's we did around 1800 transports last year. How does the PC12 not "add up"? Please be specific. I gotta see this "risk matrix". Sounds official and complex Did you know there's a PC12 flying around the world right now?
I heard the pilot was pretty cute....
