Gilles, These speeds were at 100% power (as opposed to the 115% max
power available on the 914 for just 5mins). It was several years ago now
and I have long since lost the paper that had those sort of other
details on, but I remember it as a typical British summer day - probably
around 20C. At 6500ft & up the pitch was on its coarse stop and probably
I could have gone faster with a coarser coarse setting. I will send you
the report written at the time.
Regards, David

kt TAS at 6,500ft and exceeds VNE at any height over that. Note these are True
air speeds. My smart Blue Mountain EFIS had a TAS read out.

and so are IAS velocities (or more accurately CAS).

the conditions near standard, or was the weather cold, etc.
