Hi guys,

during cruise I am using the speed settings given in the performance tables that come with the plane. Though I have noticed that these speeds are well below the "max. cuise speed" of ~450 kn and reflect in my opinion more the "economic cruise".

Flying the Phenom in the simulator I am usually not so concered with fuel costs ;) and also fly usually short distances.

Therefore I was wondering if there are any performance tables for the max cruise speed out there?

In general, how do you guys handle the speed/ power setting during cruise?

Best,

I currently fly the Phenom 300. I can send you some performance specs from the POH if you would like. Max cruise speed is .78 Mach but that’s touching the barber pole so it’s not realistic. Average max crz power settings gives between .73 - .76 Mach depending on outside air temp, aircraft weight, and altitude. It’s pretty slow in the 20’s, fastest in the 30’s and in between the 2 in the 40’s.
