Piper Seneca I

Hi,

Im just curious what the TAS is for the 200 HP a side seneca between 7000 and 10000 ft.

thanks.

somewhere around 140 KTAS. I'll have to consult the book which is not near me for a more accurate number.

And why would an e6B be required to figure this out?

Here's a thought. Couple up your E6B and the Seneca POH...

Funny guy, obviously if I had a Seneca POH I would know, and u don't need an E6B for that. I want to know cause I was thinking of renting a seneca but I would prob have to fly will a 1200 hr tool MEI like u to get checked out.

With writing "skillz" like that? You wouldn't even make it into the cockpit with me. Do you even KNOW what an E6B is? When yo mamma shopped at Toys 'R Us, did she refer to it as "We B Toys"?

I don't recall this being a spelling bee fag. I dont need an e6b, I got all that in the FMS. BTW, since you think that an E6B is required to calculate TAS ur a ********************ing idiot.

When I was doing cross countries in Seneca 1 airplanes with good old 200HP, I'd generally expect 148-155 around 7-8000ft with maybe 10 degrees above STD temperature. Thats with 24/25", i.e. 2400 rpm with 25" of manifold pressure, which according to POH should be around 75% power...or in practical terms full throttle (normally aspirated) and good leaning.

I believe the factory new Seneca claim to fly at 218 knots at 18.500ft. I'd love to experience that...

BTW you dont wanna climb to 10.000ft in a normally aspirated seneca...it takes a long time!! Just go right above the cessna's at 6-7000' and get into cruise airspeed as soon as possible, and lean properly to save fuel.

...just my $2c

From the handbook:

10,000 Density ALT - Max Power (60%) - 182MPH
6,000 Density ALT - 75% Power - 187 MPH

Another goody from the handbook:

CAUTION

Use bowline knots. Do not use slip knots.
