Recommended Airspeeds

[Gary Gustafson]

I am emailing all to see what airspeeds that they are achieving,

realizing that they vary by weight, power, etc. My plane has a

Lycoming O320 (160 HP), Sensenich Metal Prop (74 x 61) and

is on wheels.



So I am interested in knowing what I can expect for the following:



Slowest Descent Power Off? 65 Kts?



Most Flight Time per Gallon? ? Kts



Steepest Climb? 50 Kts (10 degree flaps) ?



Best Rate of Climb? 60 Kts ?



Cruise Climb? 100 Kts?



Shallowest Glide? 60 Kts?



Most Miles per Gallon? ? Kts



Economy Cruise? ? Kts



Normal Cruise? 106 Kts? 65% power?





Based on the literature, I have inserted some figures but would like to

get some feed back as to what to expect. These figures also come from

a placard that one can purchase from, I think, Aircraft Spruce.



I am just planning ahead to the day that I can test the above figures
