M20F Posted September 20, 2023 Report Posted September 20, 2023 If you cut the back off it will make a ram air and add at least 10kts of TAS, this is the real trick. 2 Quote

There are many fake speeds in flying which is why true airspeed is called true, not liar airspeed. True is all that matters because the other speeds are fake. If you increase your true airspeed then you go faster. Look at my TAS indicator and you will know why I fly an executive. 3 Quote

I see a lot of numbers in your photo, none of which I can identify as any kind of airspeed--true, liar or indifferent. Maybe your airspeed is covered up by that huge yellow circle around your RPM? Note that I generally cruise between 2300 -- 2509 in my C, while you're at 2600 here, and more RPM makes for more speed at any given throttle setting. Quote
kerry Posted September 21, 2023 Report Posted September 21, 2023 Did you take the train up to Silverton when visiting Durango? We did it last month. Was spectacular. Quote
