220 Pilots, what are you thoughts so far??

Performing very well. Slight degradation in climb performance at higher altitudes and will probably get worse as loads improve but the fuel burns are amazing and it’s been nice to take advantage of the aircraft’s range finally. Now if only the loads would improve.

Still blows my mind that an engine with this serious of a design issue made it through validation and certification wow.

I think they only found it out after a few in flight shit downs, flight testing can only simulate so much and will never fly anywhere near the number of hours of multiple operators flying multiple planes every day.

That's a funny typo. It kind of did have a few shit downs didn't it?
