@davidm540 Yes Sir...

Gabe, how do you compare cabin noise, speed and comfort with a C90 - can you advise? Do you have any issue with hot starts?

[gabe096]

@Saltlick11 Cabin noise in the commander would compare to any turboprop in its class. Speedwise 230kts in a regular C90 compared to 270kts in a Dash5 Commander 690B ~310kts in a Dash10 690B. Unless u dont expect to turn around within 15minutes I have no isseues with HotStarts, You do have to windmill the prop a good 20 times or so and sometimes moter it on a hot day if u plan to start up again within 30minutes

I have a place in Aruba ar La Cabana on Eagle beach. UI have thought about flying myself but never really checked the distance. I dont think the super Viking 300 will make it and more than likely, I would be swimming. Thanks for the reply. I have alitle over 200 hours in a 690...great plane. Would really like to see more of your videos if possible sometime...thanks, Paul
