Recommended Airspeeds
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:02 pm
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
