SECTION C: (Criteria Tested)

1)	Endurance (range)NM: 		3050nm

2)	Take-off distance(metres): 	1027m
	Landing distance(metres): 	 216m

3)	Rotation speed (Vr)(KIAS):
	a) Educated guess: 	145
	b) Calculated: 		143

4)	Climb: Best climb speed (KIAS/fpm): 178/5768  
	(best climb speed measured from sea level to 5,000, 100% full fuel)

5)	Overspeed clacker sounds at(at cruise altitude)Mach number or KIAS: 0.84

6)	Behavior under AP(OK/Not OK).
	a) Speed AP.         OK
	b) Altitude AP.      OK
	c) Heading AP.       OK
	d) NAV1 AP.          OK
	e) Back course AP.   OK
	f) Approach AP.      OK
	g) Autoland          Not tested.

7)	Speed @ 80% N1, FL300 (Mach number or KIAS):  Mach 0.78

8)	% N1 at recommended economic cruise speed: 78%

9)	Stall speed (KIAS). 
	a) 100% fuel:  119/110
	b)  30% fuel:  102/94

10)	Approach speed at 30% fuel(KIAS): 132

11)	Turns AP ON - (OK/Not OK):
	a) Level turns.       OK
	b) Climbing turns.    OK
	c) Descending turns.  OK

12)	Turns AP OFF - (OK/Not OK):
	a) Level turns.       OK
	b) Climbing turns.    OK
	c) Descending turns.  OK

13)	Landing speed(KIAS):
	a)  30% fuel: 132
	b)  15% fuel: 130

14)	Take-off with some engines out of service:

	I put Engine #1 out at V1 (about 133), and had to use full 
	rudder to keep the plane on the centerline.  Rotated at Vr,
	and she climbed really well at 175 kts, giving me around 
	2,500 fpm.  Had to use full ailerons though, from Vr to 170
	to keep her heading straight.

SECTION D: 	NOTES/COMMENTS:

1)	I think the flight model looks good, but the horizontal 
	stabilizer is only two-dimensional, so it looks kindda funny.
	The rest is pretty good.

2)	This is a very nice plane to choose for your medium-haul route, 
	having a lot of spare power in case of an engine failure, and 
	very docile controls.
