Tumbleweed Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 I noticed that the 2011 CTLS POH has tons more info than the 2008 CTSW AOI that came with my plane in 2008. Is anybody using a more recent CTLS handbook for info while flying a CTSW? Thanks! Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 You can get the later version for your aircraft with an MRA, including the corrected climb airspeeds. Best climb in CTLS is actually 73 and 68 knots at -6 and 0 flaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunkworks85 Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 I'd be really curious to see what POH they are handing out for the new CTSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it has its own POH, but I'd be interested to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted June 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Thanks for your answers. I will check on the MRA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vance Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Oh, and did the glide speeds in 5.7 change as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I have not looked that deep into it. I know that with my tests in my 2008, it is true. I suspect that the CTSW manual was basically copy pasted, and the flight tests were not that thorough, because it's not that big of a difference of a climb rate. Maybe 25-50 ft/min in the best of cases. I DO know that 2010 or so, another series of flight tests were performed probably in relation to the CTLSi, and they used more advanced instrumentation and maybe a wind tunnel test, and discovered that they were off a bit. That was told to me by Dave Armando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
