About

The B-1 takes the piston Do 28 to 2,720 kg on the O-540-A1A5. Like the A-1 it prints a take-off weight only, and counts six to eight occupants including the two in front. The cruise speed, range, ceiling and climb rate are EUROCONTROL's figures for the D28D type code rather than a certificate's: a type certificate states limits and weights, not cruise performance, and the source does not distinguish sub-variants.
