A ride in a JetPROP aircraft - my first time to 27,000' and 300 kts when riding in the front seat. :)

  • Too much confusion, if too many people without knowledge talk about things.

    175 knots IAS (=indicated airspeed) is the maximum speed, due to structural loads on a Piper Malibu.

    At high altitudes 175 knots IAS is around 260 -270 knots TAS (=true airspeed).

    With some nice taliwinds 300 knots + GS (=groundspeed) is possible.

    Check jetprop.com for further details and discuss in the user board!

  • Indicated airspeed is one thing, Ground speed is one thing and true air speed is one thing. Like a 737 at 35.000 feet maybe have a IAS of 240kt but a TAS of 450kt and with a good tailwind a GS of 550kt,

    So if this plane is doing 175kt IAS at Fl270 the GS can be 300kt with out any problems :)

  • 275 TAS. I mean

  • I just flew in my friends and he can get 175 kts. he has no radome and were a little light

  • @ednel1 : Oh man, of course I mean no wind airspeeds! Nobody speaks of random tail wind speeds when talking about airplane's performance... Btw, Malibu's Vno: max. structural cruising speed is 173 KIAS...

  • @berndl

    300 knots very possible. Just look at the displayed ground speed. It is indicating 299-300 knots at 27000 ft. You can sometimes find some nice tailwinds up there! I'm sure you were referring to the plane's no-wind speed capability.

  • does it have 2 transponders? I noticed two.
