Default Climb Profile

Hey Eagle guy here. We have a big discussion on this going on at the lounge.

Just wanted to compare our climb profile vs yours. Our AOM recommends climbing at 270/.56 (FLC) when practical and 290/.65 other times. We have almost completed modifying all our 145s to allow a MGTOW of 49,823. Since the modifications nothing has been changed regarding our profiles. They remain the same for all our aircraft (135, 140, 145) Some people have been seeing the PLI come down when climbing at .56 up high and heavy.

I was just curious to see what your profiles are. Do you have an econo climb and a fast climb? Are they different in different types (135, 145, XR)? Is your FLC programed for 270/.56 or something diffent? I have heard some operators have FLC programed for 290/.65. Finally, do you guys climb in speed mode or VS? At least on our aircraft speed mode causes uncomfortable pitch movements so I along with everyone I fly with use vs.
