It was a good trip. Without the crash at Casablanca, I think it would have been competitive. Though my trip was 350 or so miles longer than others from Europe.

Can't fly Alitalia without touching Rome.

I carried more payload than most would have expected and managed the fuel very well. I have a 500 lb window between the MLW and the 2,000 lb reserve. I landed heavy twice, but by only 17 pounds once and 9.2 pounds the other time. Only two flights did I have less than 2,000 lbs fuel remaining.

I got real good at flying at high speed toward the airport through most of the descent and slowing the plane down in the last five miles.

Most of the trip was flown at 2,750 to 2,650 rpm on the probs and 9.7 to 10.0 inches of MP.

I put in a couple hundred pounds extra fuel for the last leg and flew at 11.0 in MP for a faster run, but used less fuel than I expected.
 
Congatulations!

Great job Reggie,,,,,I hadn't paid any attention to that aircraft untill you flew it here.

You did well with it on a tuff route.
