	b) Calculated:		156 KIAS

4)	Climb: Best climb speed (KIAS/fpm):	250/2500fpm

5)	Overspeed clacker sounds at(at cruise altitude)Mach number or KIAS: Mach 0.85

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		N/A

7)	Speed @ 80% N1, FL350 (Mach number or KIAS).	Mach 0.81

8)	% N1 at recommended economic cruise speed:	77% for Mach 0.80 @ FL350

9)	Stall speed (KIAS). 
	a) 100% fuel: 150 clean, 120 dirty
	b)  30% fuel: 131 clean, 103 dirty

10)	Approach speed at 30% fuel(KIAS): 144 KIAS

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:	144 KIAS
	b)  15% fuel:	137 KIAS

14)	Take-off with some engines out of service: Knocked out the 
	starboard engine at 145 KIAS. Huge shove to the right! Managed
	to get it off the ground. Climb 250fpm. Directional control not
	very good until >200 KIAS. Circled to land. Would have landed OK
	if I had switched off the AP in time! BANG!

SECTION D: 	NOTES/COMMENTS:

1)	This is a test report on the FS98 version.

2)	At first trial take-off I rotated at 160 KIAS. Worked nicely. A/C
	very controllable at lift-off.

3)	Initial cruise altitude is stated as 36000 feet in the 
	docs, therefore I did the range test at FL350. The calculated 
	range worked out at 4400nm. The range might extend for higher
	cruise altitudes, as I noticed that the fuel flow was 700pph 
	per engine at FL280 and 450 pph per engine at FL350!

4)	Nice looking a/c!
