Joey_C Posted August 11, 2021 Report Posted August 11, 2021 I was flying the M20R and switched to 20TN today. I realized that the red-line speed is 193kn. However, I am aware that, on many websites, M20TN has a top speed of over 230kn. Is this an issue with the AFM M20TN or am I reading the wrong info? Quote
Cameron Posted August 11, 2021 Report Posted August 11, 2021 I think you're mixing up TAS and IAS. True Airspeed does not equal Indicated Airspeed. http://www.csgnetwork.com/tasinfocalc.html Quote

Acclaim has the top speed of 196 knots when Ultra's is much higher. Thanks for the reply, though! Quote

This is true airspeed (not indicated), and is achievable at ISA conditions at >~FL220. Quote

For I flew at the same level (not too high, around 8000 ft) twice and they have the same top speed. Thanks for clarification! Edited September 19, 2021 by Joey_C Quote

For I flew at the same level (not too high, around 8000 ft) twice and they have the same top speed. Thanks for clarification! Expand No, the Ovation is not turbo charged, so as you get up higher in altitudes, the Ovations performance will quickly diminish while the Acclaim will keep producing higher power. At 8000ft this wouldn't be too noticeable, higher up it would be much more apparent. Quote
