Presumably, the pilot was flying on an instrument flight plan, as the flight maintained a cruise altitude of 7,000 feet (and ADS-B groundspeed of 125 to 130 knots) until about 12:53 p.m. local time, roughly three hours into the flight. Never exceed speed (Vne) for the V-35 is 192 knots.

Aside from a groundspeed boost from a tailwind, the outbound flight was nondescript. It was a simple, last-minute flight planned around an excuse of lunch, but the day resolved into one of those perfect, memorable combinations of great weather, great flying, great food, great company, and absolutely amazing vistas.

Pilots that are comfortable with self-briefing, via FAA Flight Services, or an equivalent means, may use the EFB to display the METI and AI as well as to file flight plans. For example, a pilot of a light twin aircraft, flying at a medium altitude with a tailwind could easily have a groundspeed in excess of 200 knots.

I fly a Rockwell Commander 114B which I flight plan at 14 gph and 140 kts. It turns out that an Air Canada flight from Toronto to Orlando would have cost $1,646.00 (CND with taxes) but going Air Phil is way more fun. hours flight time. With a screaming tailwind, I was seeing a groundspeed of 185 kts at 6,500 feet.

A pit stop at North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (KCRE) was planned, and after a weather briefing, I filed an IFR flight plan. At the current groundspeed, I believed it shouldn’t be of much concern unless the cell began producing lightning. We were wheels up around 1:30pm. The IAF was looming closer.
