Auto Credit Based on MrSilverWolf's Civil Aircraft Challenge (Closed!)

The GA-44 is a twin turbojet BizJet designed by Planex International. It's large cockpit allows for extra cockpit visibility with minimum obstructions and the HondaJet style engines allow for more cabin space. It has a max speed of 420mph (lol), and a standard cruising altitude of 20,000 feet on the Wright-Yeager high approach route. It has a V1 of 60mph and a V1 of 90mph. V2 is 150mph. Approach speed is 140-150mph with flaps full. Land at just below 140mph. Enjoy! (For MrSilverWolf's Civil Aircraft Challenge). :D PieGuy

    @A3 yes. Although there is a carpenter's product also branded Planex.

    @SkullsAndCrossbones Actually, V1 is the decision speed. When a co-pilot calls V1 (depending on runway length, aircraft weight, and atmospheric conditions), that is the signal to the pilot that either the decision is made to abort or continue now or you must takeoff. After V1, the co-pilot calls "Rotate!", and the pilot will then rotate the plane. When the plane is at a safe climb speed, the co-pilot will say "V2!", and the plane will climb. When at the desired climb settings, the pilot says "Positive rate! Gear up please!". The co-pilot will proceed to raise the gear.
