    Love this plane. Currently in Greenland on my way to Norway from Canada. The info below is from page 13 of the manual. The numbers seem way too high. I searched but didn't find any other posts about this. Agreed, or am I missing something? A minor fix for a future manual revision. 😊

    Aircraft Performance (Turbine Duke) Maximum Cruising Speed 320 ktas
    Normal Cruising Speed 290 ktas
    Economy Cruising Speed 225 ktas

      Can't say I fly the Duke much so take this with a shovel of salt but are you confusing TAS and IAS by any chance? Or have I missed the point?

        @PAStime Taking a look at the Engine Power Settings section of the manual, you can find power setting and altitude combinations that result in 195-292 KTAS at maximum gross weight, with the maximum cruise speed of 320 KTAS either being achievable at higher than recommended ITT for engine longevity, or minimal loads.
