Fastest Altitude for a Cessna..?
Hi Guys, it's been a long time since I studied the PPL air density theories, but I seem to remember that as you fly higher your Speed increases.
However I took a C152, two-up, to 10,000ft and found that it was very difficult to climb much further, almost on the edge of a stall. Also the Indicated Airspeed was hovering around 60-65 knots. So, without converting IAS to Ground Speed, it certainly seemed to be a lot slower.
As we intend to fly in convoy with some other Cessnas, I was hoping to choose the best altitude, to give us a bit of a speed advantage.
