Hi, I’m new to IF and read a lot of Posts, Profiles and Fuel Burn Charts. But I dont know what VS I should use when I’m climbing at higher altitudes. Is everything under 1000 ft/min good? For example climbing from FL300 to FL330.
Personally, I pitch for speed. I will set my throttle to 10% below takeoff power and my VS will be whatever number allows me to maintain the speed that I want.
As my altitude increases, my VS will decrease I order to maintain the speed I want. This also seems like a more efficient way of using fuel as your always using the same amount of throttle, only moving it slightly if needed
Thank you Drummer, I use this method too as the IF YouTube Channel suggested in their “How to fly…” But do you still fly manual in higher altitudes like FL300?
