Is it normal for Airbus a321 to flight around 920 kmh cruising altitude irl?

Featured Replies

Hello, I'm a new comer.

 

In FSX if anything goes faster than 340 nt, the overspeed warning will alarm but in real life why the plane goes beyond 920 kmh equal to 500 knot?

I think you'll find this is the difference between Indicated Air Speed and true airspeed. IAS will vary depending on altitude.

Are you a real life A321 pilot?  If you are a passenger on a flight and looking at the screen showing the

 

aircraft's position and speed, it is probably refering to Groundspeed at cruise altitude flying somewhere

 

near MACH .80-.82

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Yes, I'm a passenger and when I see those screen saying 920 kmh I was like 0.0
