Hi

I want to see if anyone can help me. I like to fly the beech king air 350 with criusing speed close to 300kts. However, the most I can do with this plane even with 100% is around 280. The payload is around 13000 and the altitude is over 25,000. How can I fly closer to the normal criuse speed?

thanks

Sorry, but you will not get 300 kts indicated from the King Air, especially at FL250. Normal cruise speed is only 237 kts.

I checked flightaware.com for real King 350. They all seems to cruise around 290 to 300 at around that Alt.

The speeds listed on flightaware are ground speeds, not indicated air speeds. At FL250, 230 kts will get you around 300 kts groundspeed (just an estimate, varies with pressure, temperature, and obviously wind speeds)
