As KHYA was fogged in today, I picked the brain of one of our captains for a few flying tips! From what I recall,on take off at 1000 feet the power is brought back to 3300 foot lbs, 3950 is max.( not modeled with PMDG Kingair 350 torque gauge,I hope some one can model the real one) Then the props go to 1550 for the climb. For cruise we use 1450 on the props, Which you can leave alone until gear down, when they are placed full foward max rpm. For take off, flaps are not used, except for a hot day using 15/33 out of KACK(3999 ft) On approach at 180, flaps 17 is selected. And at one dot below the glide slope, the gear is selected down, and props full foward. You must be fully configured by 1000 feet when IMC, and 500 feet VMC, We fly 140 kts until 500 feet, and start bringing the power back so as to be at VREF over the threshold. This airplane is capable of flying at VNE until one mile from the runway! And at flight idle over 6000 FPM rate of decent! That is how effective those props are as brakes. The captain told me the other day at LaGuardia Ny,They were given 230 until 3 DME. I related the performance numbers I was getting in the sim while failing the left engine on take off, and performimg an ILS, and he told me my numbers were very close. Even not requiring a lot of rudder. Nice job PMDG! http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/65976.jpg

Thanks for the tip Jim. I've made a copy of this for my own use when flying the 1900D. :)
