|I was wondering how high you have been with your 912 S.   Did the 

engine start to lose much power, how was its performance way up there. 

Now that I am about to start flying a 912S im really curious how that 

engine does at high altitudes.

Hi Mike:



I have been high enough to cross the Rockies anywhere from south to 

north, including the Brooks Range in Alaska.  Normally, 14,500 to 

15,000 feet gives one a comfortable margin.  The engine loses some 

power, which is normal for a normally aspirated engine.  However, it 

still performed well, with the MKIII at aprx'ly 1,200 lbs on take off. 

Normal procedure to cross the mountains is take off at full throttle 

and leave it there until it is time to pull it back for the decent on 

the other side.  The 912ULS performs well enough to satisfy my flying 

requirements.



Take care,



john h
