What is company procedure as to long range ,high speed cruise or normal cruise . I know different flights require different power settings but generally speaking how do u guys operate. This goes for all fractionals.
Since the Pilatus is so slow anyway (.43), we are told to go as fast as possible all the time. I saw .44 2 tours ago! The boots were't flapping, but man, my hair was on fire.......

I do highspeed cruise for everything. Pax or ferry. Problem with the ferrys done at a slower speed is that the time they gave us on the schedule is in high speed cruise.
So if you go slow cruise you'll be late for your pax on the other end.
Fast fast fast. Fuel's cheap, time on the plane is expensive.
