CajunRon 0 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Based on what I get out of the manual and from on line posts and youtube videos I should be setting cruise power at about 40 PSI torque and 75% prop rpm. If I set those values I fall out of the sky. I have to set prop rpm to 89% at a 40 PSI torque to maintain 140 KIAS. I don't understand what the problem is.

amahran 595 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Which one, the wheels or amphibious? What altitude and temps? Either way, max cruise is technically 50PSI torque and 92% Np (at least for the -300). Anything below that is acceptable and flyable; you just get more documented performance results at those specific torque and prop settings in the manual. Things that may drop you out of the sky: - Temps too high in cruise (like +30 or something ridiculous) - Ice accumulation - Forgot to retract flaps - Waaaay overweight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
