Default RE: Spool times....


Behotec J66 and it is SLOW to spool, so slow that you need to decide on a go-around on the down wind leg.
That is not a correct statement, in fact the 66 and all the Behotec engines can have their acceleration and deceleration times adjusted in 4 different ramps. The 165 and 180 are set to 3.7s and the 66 can be set to 2.8s

If the engine is not spooling up that fast then it has to be investigated and repaired if necessary. I encourage you to return it for an inspection.
