And one for climb...and don't forget that there's a max torque chart for cruise too...too many damn numbers, most stuff on the Garrett is easy, just 0-100.
New Stretched, Re-engined ATR in the Works?

They had the aircraft pictured in the link parked at the Weyerhaeuser hanger for a week back in May. All the Q400s were mean muggin it. Poor fella.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Interesting our Blackhawk -61s don't have that.

FOD resistance, and modular engine concept I would imagine. The Garret is cool, but personally, I'm partial to the Pratt.

As far as I'm anything I guess you could say I'm a Garrett guy. Doesn't much matter though as Honeywell seems to have abandoned the GA market to sell their engines for drones.

Turboprops are more fuel efficient and oil won't always be $40 a barrel or whatever it is right now.

Sounds like you just volunteered to fly the Pratt van all winter!

Your name is Dornier by chance, is it?

No one of consequence
Is 208TW or whatever it is going to stay a Pratt or are there plans for it?

My favorite is the *high residual heat, gen assisted, manual, stomp on the floor, pull the circuit breaker for the cargo lights (because Sweringen was a proper lunatic)" engine start. I feel like the other multi-garrett airplanes are probably just as silly though. I still don't know what in the hell MU-2 guy was doing at this point, looking back on when I rode on BankAir awhile ago. haha
In general, Garrett powered=fast, efficient and interesting. Pratt powered=slow, inefficient and lame.

It's a lease only, to get through the summer. Bad choice for a conversion for a number of reasons. Also the proper call sign for that one is TurdWagon.

The Mits can be funny, but a quick switch from parallel to series can save a hung start. Back to parallel for the charge then crank the next one. SRL in the -10 takes a lot of headache out of it. No approved cross-gen start is one of the very few weaknesses of the MU-2.My favorite is the *high residual heat, gen assisted, manual, stomp on the floor, pull the circuit breaker for the cargo lights (because Sweringen was a proper lunatic)" engine start.

Ah, same with the Metro. -11, same engine from what I understand, but with the addition of alcohol water injection. I still don't know what he was doing though. haha It's rare for it to be malfunctioning/deferred for us, we do run them colder though. 620 for climb, 610 for cruise.

BTDT...
...and I just saw one with ProLine21.
But Do went from making the fastest turboprop to the slowest jet. ATR would be starting out waaaaay behind on that venture.

@Boris Badenov I didn't realize you changed your name.

Having spent most of my career in front of Pratts of one form or another, the only mystery is why they went with their oil quantity indication system....
IE, if it isn't any leaking on you, you should add some. Guess they carried it over from their recip days.
