January 1Jan 1 I had a nice tailwind tonight, flying from Inverness in the highlands of Scotland, to Teeside Airport in North East England. Once in '850 mode' the TBM just opened up and soon TAS had passed 300kts! In descent I reached my peak ground speed - 385 kts, which equates to 447mph .... in a small, single-engined turboprop!

January 2Jan 2 Wow…385 knots…with the strong tailwind… The TBM 850 Turboprop is indeed a (jet-like) powerful aircraft…
January 2Jan 2 Yes its an awesome small turbo prop - there are times when the jetstream of approx 100-120kts across southern Australia gives even greater ground speed when heading east! Not so much fun when heading west, of course!! Cheers, Brian L Robinson Flight Simmer since 1983 - loving the brilliant Quality Wings 787 and all PMDG models!!
January 2Jan 2 You've gone plaid! One of my favorite addons ever! The only thing that would make it better is to have dual 750Xi's hehe | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
