Hi there,
I would encourage all who read this to have a go at this World Air Races-Trial Event. I have flown it several times in a Learjet 45. Some stats from my last run: Flight Level-4500ft. Autopilot Speed Hold-158Kts. myAAS TAS (True Air Speed) reading-167Kts.(Must be no more than 170Kts). Flight Time- 1hr 19 minutes. I have found that once you are at altitude and have the speed set to keep you just under the 170kt TAS readout, it stays that way for the duration of the race, until you throttle back to prepare for the approach, making sure you don't shift the TAS reading above 170kts. So, during the flight you get to enjoy some close-up mountain scenery, especially as you are low and fairly slow. Must be great viewing in MSFS. Have a go, let us know what you think of it all.
Simon.
