Top Speed

[Barthandelus 1]

Hi All - Can i ask roughly what the 'top' speed of the J41 is? No matter what my altitude, the red 'overspeed' line always seems to be on exactly 250, and the alerts sound if i go over it.Sorry to ask such a basic question - im only really starting out in the J41.Thanks for your valued help! :-)

Hey Adrian.Have a look at your AOM. Page 29.

Chapter 3 - LimitationsAirframe, Flight Controls, Doors and Stairsa.Maximum Operating Speed (VM0/MMO)1.Maximum Operating Speed (VMO) from sea level to 17,400 ft pressure altitude is 250 KIAS2.VMO above 17,400 ft. to 25,000 ft. pressure altitude reduces linearly toa speed of 214 KIAS3.Above 17,400 ft. MMO is 52 Mach4.VMO/MMO must not be deliberately exceeded in any phase of flight.

Hope that helps.Cheers!
