Do you remember the true? (I understand after only one flight in type you might not)

Indicated does not really mean much on turbocharged or jet aircraft. You can fly high and your TAS will actually be increasing with altitude. For example on the 42 at maximum sustainable cruise would be 140 indicated, but by the time I get to 10K I'll be doing 175TAS. Then at 14K my TAS starts to decrease because the turbochargers can not sustain MP. At those altitudes quite often the winds are high enough to give me a ground speed greater than 200kts.


I would believe it would be around the same. We were only at 3-4.5k ft most of the time and had the power back quite a bit. I havent really looked in depth at its performance numbers yet, but will be probably next week for the cross country planning.

Alright let me know you get a chance. I never flown one of those.

Expect about 170KTAS at 17k. Pretty nifty
