Service ceiling
[edit]Under "Performance" a service ceiling of only 10 000 feet is given. Where does that statement come from? I still have my Pilot Manual (SFI SK 61) from when I flew it in the Swedish Air Force, and there is nothing in there showing that this airplane have much lower performance and service ceiling than even a Cessna 172! The fact that other rules about oxygen requirement may restrict operation to some is not the same as a service ceiling by performance! No service ceiling is given in my manual, and we never had any reason to really test the limit, but I will remove 10 000 feet and leave it blank untill someone find a more realistic number!--Towpilot 07:05, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- I corrected the info to 17000 ft (5182 m). --MoRsE 07:28, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds much more realistic, but exactly 17 000 ft is obviously a little bit generic, therefore the numbers in meter should be rounded as well to 5 000! Also, since all other metric info is given as alternative, these numbers should be swaped. Or the other way around. BTW, where did you find it?--Towpilot 07:55, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- From this web page. It seems at least trustworthy. --MoRsE 09:27, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Primary user
[edit]With only five aircraft per the Variants-section, it seems odd that Malta is the primary user. Is that due to the aircraft being retired with the previous operators? BP OMowe (talk) 23:21, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
