June 30, 20169 yr I'm starting to really enjoy the 350i, even with all the common Carenado quirks. I'm stretching out the legs on this beast as we speak with a 1100NM flight to Belize. What's the longest flight you've done so far?
August 7, 20169 yr Hi! Currently flying from TNCM to KHGR (1500nm)! I have been flying at FL280 and about to start my descent. Regards, Teo Teofilo Homsany
August 7, 20169 yr Author I find it interesting that this bird has some really good range, but no lavatory. I wonder how RW pax handle not being able to relieve themselves during long flights.
August 7, 20169 yr I don't think they use it to its maximum range.. just like a PA24 that has a range of 1000nm but flies at around 150kts, a 1000nm flight takes about 7 hours or more so most of the people would land, take a break and continue. Regards, Teo Teofilo Homsany
August 8, 20169 yr Moderator It may not be in their model, but the real world KA350i does have a potty just across from the pax door. There is a curtain that may be pulled across for "privacy" Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
August 9, 20169 yr Commercial Member Correction Bil... "may"... one has to order it. I've been in a couple where there was not a potty... cuz the purchaser didn't have use for one onboard. Ed Wilson Mindstar AviationMy Playland - I69
August 31, 20169 yr For 2015+ the 350i was suppose to come with a standard interior which include the upgraded lav. This one has a pocket door as opposed to the standard curtain. I don't have the latest options sheet for 2016 so I cannot say for sure if this can be deleted from the order sheet. Some of the older lavs were removed by the operator. Beech went to a dry chemical toilet for a time and no one really cared for the spread chemical in a bag, do your duty, then put more chemical. Not to mention emptying it! As crew I preferred the old smurf juice electric toilets.
August 31, 20169 yr Commercial Member Ken, I'm pretty certain there are military versions with no toilet onboard... :smile: Ed Wilson Mindstar AviationMy Playland - I69
August 31, 20169 yr I know not want to speak of... All the ones I flew had the toilets installed. :wink: :wink:
September 6, 20169 yr As long as not the same as trains...flush straight out to the air...yuk...take an umbrella... Dave
