TC Performance
-
Dear Team,
When comparing the data in the manual for the normally aspirated and the turbocharged variant you can tell that the turbocharged needs more runway and is a lot heavier than the normally aspirated - Which makes sense for the pressurised one. But the normal Baron with Turbochargers should perform better on takeoff than the normal one - or at least I can't think of any reason why not.
Would it then be possible to get seperate data for the P and the TC Baron?
Also, would it be possible to get some performance tables for the TC? On the internet I could only find a real world manual for the 58 and 58P, not TC.
The MSFS manual lacks data specific to the TC and also doesn't contain and of the performance tables I'd need - like takeoff distance with varying temperature and different weights or cruise performance tables accounting for ISA deviation.
Overall I'd be quite happy if there was a way to get my hands on a TC Manual including the performance section - can you help by any chance?
Greetings,

Hi Jannik,
My assumption was that the extra takeoff distance was not due to any loss of performance for the turbocharged variants, but due to the increased gross takeoff weight. Even with an extra 25HP, that 700lb increase is going to consume a little more runway.
The real challenge is finding a POH for the specific years in question, since my turbocharged variants represent a the rare 58TC and 58P after the 1984 redesign, which was only built for one year as the TC, and two years for the P. If I encounter an appropriate POH for the TC year in question, you will be the first to know.

@Black-Square thanks for the quick reply.
Just to make sure, does the TC also have the increased gross weight? I assumed the strengthened structure for the pressurization caused the increase. -
That's correct. 6,100lbs for the earlier models of both, and 6,200lbs for the later models. From what I've seen, certified gross takeoff weight increases most typically come from engine performance increases, rather than changes to airframe construction.
