You very welcome and glad I’m able to help

Good trick keeping the heater back up by using the second heating system. This can also be used when the primary heating system the Janitrol fuel burner fails. Which it does rather often...

It hasn't failed yet for me in the sim but im sure it will

Do you leave the mixture full rich on climbout to FL250? I noticed the manual says that you don't really need to change it, but am not sure if that applies to all situations.

Yes mixtures are kept full rich to 25000’ (critical altitude) the turbocharger maintains it till then. Then you will start your leaning procedure when climbing above that

I want to add that it’s 25000’ Density altitude so it can fluctuate you might start to see a fall of passing FL240 or it might not start falling off until as high as FL260 it depends on the atmospheric conditions on that day

pilotinstitute.com/how-to-calculate-density-altitude/ Here is a good explanation on how to calculate density altitude for when your flight planning your trip

In the manual it says 243KTAS@ FL300@75%. I'm getting approximately 300KTAS. It seems like you too are cruising alot faster?

Yes but true airspeed doesn't account for wind, a good tailwind will push you alot faster across the ground. The true airspeed calculations I have done are pretty close to the book.

Hm... Yeah. Before you got established at cruise you had 190kts IAS. But I see you are doing 170kts indicated at FL300 after leaning. At standard atmosphere that corresponds to approximately 280kts true airspeed.

@@V_F_Diaries I actually found a thread on justflight forum regarding this issue. Blacksquare has responded and acknowledged the issue. I think its only a Grand Duke issue

You know what come to think of it i shouldn’t be able to get 1700nm range either no matter what lean setting i use
