        A few words from Jens Borgstroem re. the handling and such.
        Here's a few facts and figures :

        Speeds:
        -------
        Max speed VNE set to: 235 KIAS and 40 Mach
        Fast cruise ( not max. ) is 182-190KIAS
        Ord. / eco. cruise is 165 - 172KIAS

        At FL 210 these are the figures:
        N1 = 98 pct approx.
        Spd = 172KIAS / 39Mach

        Climb rate in FT/min:
        ---------------------
        Climb <4.000 = 1.400 - 1.500
        Climb  4.000 - 8.000 = 1.200
        Climb  8.000 - 14.000= 1.000
        Above =  800 - 900          

        ........

        Approach ( eg. og std 3* glideslope ):
        --------------------------------------
        approx. 20 NM out - reduce speed to round 150 KIAS
        approx. 10NM out - set first flap and reduce to 125 ( comes by itself )
        approx.  7NM out - set next flap and reduce to 110
        approx.  4NM out - set full flaps and reduce to 90-100, and let the speed 
                 wear off so on final you 'float in' at round 90 over threshold and 83 
                 on touchdown ( on final possibly third notch flaps ).

        Slight flare is necessary at touchdown.

        On approach she is comming in rather flat, like the real bird.

        Remember this aircraft has reversed thrust / reversing prop pitch, which
        is activated by pressing ( default ) F2 key.
