Normal cruise
An economical cruise is flown at engine speeds of 4,400min-1 to
4,800min-1. With the Sensenich or Neuform propeller this will result
in airspeeds between 98mph (85kts) and 111mph (97kts) with a fuel
flow between 3.9GPH and 4.9GPH.
High speed cruise is done with engine speeds between 5,000min-1
and 5,400min-1. With the Sensenich or Neuform propeller this will
result in airspeeds between 117mph (102kts) and 130mph (113kts)
with a fuel flow between 5.4GPH and 6.7GPH.
If required, the aircraft is capable of achieving an airspeed up to 137
mph (119 kts) at full power setting. If doing so, always monitor
engine speed. The maximum continuous engine speed is 5,500min-1
and may only be exceeded for 5min. The maximum engine speed of
5,800min-1 may never be exceeded.
Cruising in gusty conditions
When flying in gusty weather conditions the maximum permissible
airspeed of 123 mph (107 kts) should not be exceeded for safety
reasons. The REMOS GX offers very stable flight characteristics
even in heavy weather conditions, similar to that of a Cessna 172.
Cruising in rain or with dirty aircraft
Raindrops and bugs affect the performance of an aircraft. Be aware
that in these conditions the performance figures are not met anymore
as they apply for a clean aircraft. Expect a performance loss of
10…15%.
