Roger Lee Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 It says 14K for us, but I know of a couple that have been over 18K. As you climb higher and start to loose climb drop a flap setting. Example go from -6 to zero. It will make a big difference. This will also depend on prop pitch setting and weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 It says 14K for us, but I know of a couple that have been over 18K. As you climb higher and start to loose climb drop a flap setting.

Just so you know, service ceiling is dictated by when the aircraft is tested or estimated to have a climb rate of less than 100 fpm at WOT. Absolute ceiling is where an aircraft cannot maintain level flight with anything less than full power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
