Re: Engine Performance Curves/Equations/Sounds

[Tom Atkinson <tom@tyco.net.au>]

Hi Phil!

My name is Tom Atkinson.  I am IT man for the Kevron Group which is
based here in Perth, Western Australia.  My company does aerial surveys
and is based at Jandakot.  I work at the East Perth office (which is
becoming more and more Linux-ified every day!).

I also am pilot for them (1500 hrs total).  Their fleet is:
2 x C404 (Titan, Cont IO-520)
1 x C441 (Conquest, Garrett TPE331)
1 x B60 (Duke, Lycoming IO-541)
4 x AC500S (Shrike, Lycoming IO-520)
1 x TU206G 
1 x C185
1 x PAC Cresco (PT6 engine)

I think I can help you out by getting hold of material such as POH. 
Sound recordings should also be possible, if you can supply the
equipment.  I fly the Duke and C404.  I probably could arrange for
recordings inside the C441 and Cresco.

The "Cresco", by the way, is the modern variant of the Fletcher
agricultural aircraft.  I can't remember which mark of PT6 it has.

As a result I have been interested in a GNU Licensed Flight Simulator that really models aircraft correctly and have just recently commenced contributing the FG project doing work on accurate engine models.
