Poor Brent taking it on the nose

Wow, Brent, that's great. Gives me something to shoot for. And you did not have O2?

That is smokin in a 201. The best I've seen in my 201 is 205 kts GS.

Congratulations, that's cool. You totally blew away the previous record of 227 knots for an M20J.

And with such a miserly fuel flow, too! 18.5”mp / 2450rpm, 8.7Gph LOP

Not that it matters, but how much do you think you could have increased your groundspeed with a best-power setting?

Conditions were CAVU and I was monitoring myself for hypoxia. I may get flogged for that but I now have (will have tomorrow) an O2 system.

Didn't try it so I don't know. I can't imagine it getting much better than the TAS of 155 at that ALT. I think it would just start burning more fuel.

Glad you're getting an O2 system.
