The sim was pretty straightforward, no gotchas. We were put in the Longitude with 5,000lbs of gas and that plane is stupid overpowered when light! We were airborne by the time I normally do the 80kt call on the ERJ and V2 was probably 20kts behind us by the time the gear came up. We flew the HPN7 departure off of runway 16, which has a turn soon after rotation and a 190kt airspeed limit which both my sim partner and I busted. I got up to 208kts but called "airspeed, correcting" within 10 seconds of exceeding 190kts and once it came down on speed, it was fairly easy to keep it there. Bottom line, if you get the Longitude, retard the throttles early, and then... Continue Reading this Scenario
