Mountain Flying – Limit to 90% of Max Gross Weight?
Asked by: K S 2507 views Aerodynamics, General Aviation
Hello,
I've read several instances where it has been advised to limit aircraft loading to 90% of max gross when flying in the mountains. Does this "conventional wisdom" apply in the case of a TURBOCHARGED aircraft? Obviously the turbo will allow the engine to develop sea-level power at a high-altitude takeoff BUT I also realize the prop and wings are not nearly as efficient. Curious for people's thoughts on this topic!
Thanks
