On this recent flight Truckee-->Petaluma I only made 10 minutes from 6300-->10,000 feet cruise or ..............370 FPM.
3800# and only 285HP continuous = leisurely climb no matter how much I hate it. Porky singles are not like your average turboprop.
Sure I can firewall it for 420F CHT and get 750FPM but if you want to keep the engine cool, only option is to slow down.
I'd love to laugh and poke fun at the measly 360FPM Raptor climb rate however my Cessna P210N aint no Starship either.Initial climb rate seems to be 800-1000 fpm and quickly overheating engine.
Sustainable lowered power climb rate is 300-400 fpm
