Aircraft speed at high altitude
« on: May 23, 2004, 12:55:32 pm »
Hello fellow pilots,

I noticed something odd on 2 of the EHM aircraft. I was flying the Fokker 70 and the Learjet 45 at cruise altitude (FL320 and FL370) and strange enough the speed indicator changed from .70 mach to .85 mach which gave me an overspeed warning. This happens every 5 min. or so.. It's quite annoying tuning the autopilot all the time to fly at a normal speed.
I don't know this happens only to EHM aircraft or if it's just a general FS2004 problem but i'd like to know if anyone had the same experience and how he/she helped it..
Apart from this little issue i'd like to say that Euroharmony is one of the best VA's around and all the thanks for the management team . Organisation, fleet and f/p's are great and the website lay-out is also very pretty!

Greetings,

EHM1392

Hi Justin and welcome onboard!

I guess it was because of some strong winds. Try the flight with calm winds (Clear all weather) and see if the problem persists.

Yes i think it were the winds, but a change of .10 mach lasting for 2 or 3 minutes is still strange. Thanks for your help!

It's not for nothing that they fly these altitude...

IMHO I think to make use of the jetstream winds, and by that consume less fuel, and eventualy also make a better overall time
