Recently I’ve seen many pilots flying way faster than they need too. This guide is here to help you.
Feel free to use this for infinte flight!

I’ve left a few out that are the same for example A330-200 and A330-300F. Obviously I’m not perfect and I’m sure a few of these are wrong. If you know the right speed for a aircraft tell me and i will fix it.
Most speeds are in Mach but some are in Knts. This is the second (revised) version.
@DeerCrusher spent some time experimenting to find the most fuel efficient speeds for all of the aircraft, although it isn’t updated for the CRJ 700 and 900.
No no no no no. The average cruise speed for the A320 family is M78-M80. You will not be cruising at M82 in those.
Here are the economical cruise of all the aircraft. If there is no range of speed you can go up one or down .01 of mach speed if you are on a schedule. You will rarely ever go over M86, so rare that . These are the speeds you should be flying at.
This seems pointless given planes dont really fly close to their max Mach speed and given that a lot of the time they fly slower. These ranges suggest you should be within them while at cruise but it’s not exactly realistic.
