so I saw that Brian had his CJ to 18,000... (i've had her to 17,500) and that Hal has also been up there too..



the question I have is...  what is the max altitude to which you've flown your CJ?

on the other end of the spectrum... has anyone flown through death valley? or the dead sea area, etc?

Well, as I indicated, I have flown right to the base of FL180. The only reason I didn't climb higher was nasal canulas instead of masks (pulse oximeter said it would have been OK) and I didn't file an IFR flight plan. (Yes, my CJ was IFR certified.)

 



But climb was pretty anemic at FL180. It was down to about 300fpm if I recall correctly. But I was operated near max gross weight. 

BTW Dave, it was in 'Betty'.

Awesome Brian!

 I have had her at 17,500 with about 200 to 300fpm of climb left I think.  I was actually very surprised she had that much climb remaining at that altitude.  

Here in Texas she rarely has the need to get up over 10K.

Been to Death Valley many times with my stock CJ. On a cold winter morning

at -210 ft. or so the takeoff performance 

is great.
