Would anyone be interested in make a "detailed" performance file for the RealAir Duke, that way the flight planning wouldn't take so long?

I am not quite sure what you are referring to Ron. Do you mean performance charts or route planning or perhaps procedures? I love flying the Royal Duke so I am automatically interested.Kind regards,

FS Build will automatically give a flight plane with fuel burn, time, TAS, GS, Route and a thousand other things and you can print out a Nav Log and it's very very accurate. It adjusts for power setting's, weight, temperature and wind. The only problem is somebody needs to make a performance file for the plane. I have the documentation that tells you how to do it but Im to dumb to acutally understand it. It would just awesome if somebody out there who has already done this before could make one. I remeber one guy on here was a Gulfstream pilot and he made one for the JS4100 and I use it everyday and THAT guy nailed it! Sometimes I land the J41 within 10lbs of planned fuel burn, using real-world weather too, which is plugged into my FS Build.

Ditto, would love this file. Fsbuild is one of the greatest addons ever created, been using it for years and years

Some time ago. I obtained real-world POH & checklist for the B60 piston. Just prior to the release for the Royal Duke, I contacted Rocket Engineering Corp. about obtaining similiar data for the Turbine version. Well, of course that's a non-starter unless one is willing to purchase the conversion which costs about four times as much as the basic aircraft. As such, I've created a few things for the Royal Duke: 1.) Cruise Performance Charts I modeled this chart from the real-world piston version. It is incomplete and consists of actual performance (TRQ/LB, RPM, FF, IAS, TAS) at various altitudes, cruise power settings and ISA variations. 2.) Weight & Balance ChartThis is an Excel table based on the piston version with a few minor updates for the turbine version.3.) FS Build Performance Perfromance table for both piston and turbine versions. 4.) Checklist and Limitations Prepared as a .DOC version. As far as the flightplans are concerned, I use a real-world service that is appropriate for GA operations within CONUS and FS Build outside. The FS Build flightplan format is really more appropriate for air carrier ops; as a matter of fact, the format is almost identical to my real-world airline's flight plan format; interesting coincidence. If there is enough interest in the above, I could forward the above mentioned to Rob Young at Real Air and let him upload/distribute as appropriate? Rob, I know you'll probably read this and we've emailed before, so I'll stand-by. Les Parson

I've started to build a PRF, but it would be nice to have some input as to target speeds and climb rates...Kdub

I'm interested in Turbine Duke data for FS Build.....can you update us about progress of PRF?

yes me to please.when you get r done... email me a copy if you would be so [email protected]

We can download it anywhere or you can email it?

I'm climbing at between 130 and 140 knots IAS and 3000 feet per minute to 15,000. Does that sound good?KDub

If you are flying within the US, Southern Canada, Mexico, parts of Central America and the Caribbean, then I highly recommend using signing up for fltplan.com. They have a Turbine Duke profile. I don't know how accurate it is, but my experience with the Eaglesoft Citation X and fltplan.com along with ASE weather is flight times usually within a couple of minutes and burn within 100 lbs!

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't have a clue if that is realistic or not. I'm not a real pilot let alone a turbo duke guy.

Are there news about perfomance file development for Turbine Duke?I'd like to create it, if no one is working on it, but I can't find detailed manual about this plane.Any suggestion?

I'd like this profile for FSBuild also. Sadly I have no idea how to make one.

Hi Les,Yes I remember you getting in touch and your performance spreadsheets etc might come in very handy. The best place to put it though is Avsim's library, since that is pretty universal in terms of exposure. I hope your work comes in useful for anyone who wants to use the data. I'm only sorry we could not get hold of anything "official", and that is for obvious copyright reasons.All the best,Rob - RealAir
