Question for TBM drivers

#1

At 6500lbs and 170 KIAS with an rpm of 1980, my rate of climb is about 1500fpm more than listed in the TBM 930 POH. The climb performance at 124 KIAS is closer to the published numbers. Anyone know why this is? What power setting do you use for climb?

Normally when I fly tbm, I just engage warp drive 🖖 and close my eyes buddy.
Cheers ✌️

Although Infinite Flight’s flight characteristics are based off real-world data, there may be some inconsistencies in performance with some aircraft at a particular phase of flight. Specifically, regarding the TBM, I personally follow the instructions in the tutorial linked below. Make sure to check it out if you haven’t already.

Indeed! Pilots often refer to themselves as ‘drivers’. As a matter of fact, we have a user on the forum with the username “Heavydriver” who, you guessed it, is a pilot who flies heavy aircraft.

I typically climb at 160kts at 3000ft-pm when medium to light and 2000ft-pm when heavy, Stevo the youtuber whose’ livery is in the sim said that these numbers are what he has found to the best in one of his older videos
