Hi pilots,
Do you tend to cruise the A330/340 at .82 exactly or do you usually cruise it above/below Mach .82? I heard the fuel burn gets pretty bad above .82; is this true? I heard some pilots don't even go to .82, they stay at .79-.81?
Is there any difference in speed between the A330/340? For example would you cruise the A330 at a faster speed than A340?
What conditions dictate cruising the A330/340 at a different cruise speed than normal?
Around what N1 would your engines be at for a Mach .82 cruise at FL350 for the A330 and A340 respectively?
May I also know the LRC speed for the A330 and A340 also? Are they the same?
At MTOW, what would be the VR speed for the 3 different flap settings?
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Russell J.
