It certainly is. It's faster than most VLJ's and early Citations and it is also faster than the turboprop heavies like the Hercules and Britannia which file a TAS of just 300kts. bones bones@xxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: jhb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jhb-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gerry Winskill Sent: 15 January 2011 16:59 To: JHB Restricted Subject: [jhb] A View Through The Side Window Just completed a flight from my Christmas present Manchester Xtreme, to Bristol. Fine until arrival to RWY 27, with a 60 not wind from about 220 deg. At the Do328, Vref of 115, this gave me a speed over the ground of 75 kts ans sufficient drift to have the runway half way across my right hand screen! Once sorted and the Do328 is a very nice plane to fly. With a cruise speed of 320 ktas it's as fast as some small jets. Gerry Winskill
