Yeah, at gross the bird will climb right at just under 1500 fpm and do it at an honest 120 knots. If the wife decides to stay here in Texas, then I can climb at just under 2000 fpm. And in the fall with that nice thick and cool NW Missouri air. . .Oh, yeah.
I generally file IFR on anything longer than an hour away from the home airpatch and the departure procedures for MKC seem to be pretty straight forward.
I'm just looking forward to the trip from the DFW area up to Kansas City only taking me just under 2.5 hours instead of the four hours, not including the fuel and rest stop in Oklahoma that I'm used to in the 172.
It is good to be excited about Chiefs football again. It's been long overdue.
