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 pm local time, roughly three hours into the flight. Never exceed speed (Vne) for the V-35 is 192 knots.

The TAS is used for flight planning and when filing a flight plan. Additional Aircraft Speed Categories Ground Speed (GS) Groundspeed is the actual speed of the airplane over the ground. Simply add 2 percent to the CAS for each 1,000 feet of altitude. Its mainly used for structural calculations and testing.

Using my 80-knot tailwind and a stationary wave, my groundspeed and therefore penetration speed through the wave would be 160 knots faster than an upwind approach and theoretically more turbulent. Our return flight was by a safer, much smoother route. Our return flight was by a safer, much smoother route. We didn’t test it.

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.

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.

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.

My Sonex cruises about 130 mph at this power setting, but headed southeast into the wind I am losing an easy 15 mph on my groundspeed.

Returning to ADS (Addison, Dallas TX) on a beautiful Sunday, I smiled when I filed my usual IFR flight plan. Im not sure Id call that a deviation, since it was on the filed flight plan. Actual groundspeed readouts at cruise showed 100-plus knots of headwind. All right, Dallas Love Field it is!
