Would be interesting to know what different S92 operators use for cruise setting. (Vno)

IAS, power setting or FF.
Fly in 2 que or 3 que?

Has any company made calculations for most economical (meaning money not fuel) speed (power) setting? Taking cost of flight hours, maintenance costs per hour/calendar and FF costs into account?

1360lbs/hr fuel flow, about approx. 140kias with ALT and NAV coupled.
and

2 que, ALT and NAV. Torque either 70% or 75%, depends on weight. Max 145 IAS.
any other cruise settings, recomendations?
