OR, for a flight plan received from an aircraft in flight, the actual or estimated time over the first point of the route to which the flight plan applies. ITEM 15: ROUTE INSERT the first cruising speed as in (a) and the first cruising level as in (b), without a space between them.
Flight Plan Completion
Now to summarise, an example of a completed flight plan. This example only flight plan is for a VFR flight in France: Flight plan was completed for a flight by an airplane registered "FOLXG" The flight rules were planned to be VFR and it was a general aviation flight. As item 9 is left blank, that means that it is a flight plan for 1 airplane.
VFR and IFR Flight Plans
Flight Plans are the product of thorough flight planning, as written intentions from the pilot to Air Traffic Control for the route of intended flight. ... Include the requested cruising speed as True Airspeed in knots using an N followed by four digits. For example: N0450 for 450 KTAS;

Cruise (aeronautics)
Cruise (aeronautics) A Qantas four-engined Boeing 747-400 at cruise altitude. Cruise is the phase of aircraft flight that starts when the aircraft levels off after a climb, until it begins to descend for landing. [1] Cruising usually comprises the majority of a flight, and may include small changes in heading (direction of flight), airspeed ...
The Operational Factors That Influence A Jetliner's Cruise Speed
There are several factors that determine how the aircraft's cruise speed is set. Most jetliners cruise in the range of 475 to 550 knots (800 - 900 km/hr). Pilots must think from the performance standpoint when configuring the aircraft for flight, and identifying the optimum cruise speed based on different parameters.
How Is the Cruising Speed Measured?
Pilots are required to maintain their speed to within .01 accuracy of their Mach number. Air Canada's narrow-body fleet cruises at Mach .74 to .80. The wide-body fleet zips through the air at Mach .80 to Mach .88. The Boeing 787, Air Canada's fastest plane, is capable of Mach .90 (90% the speed of sound) but we fly it from Mach .84 to ...

Cruise Velocity Calculator
Calculate Cruise Velocity: Click the "Calculate" button, and the tool will provide you with the cruise velocity of the aircraft. Analysis and Application: The calculated cruise velocity can help in flight planning, fuel consumption estimation, and determining the most efficient speed for long-distance travel. Example:
Maybe a strange question, What is your cruising speed and what aircraft
In the POHs for most GA aircraft, cruise speed is given in KTAS (true). You base all your flight planning calculations on that, then correct for wind aloft. Your flight plan is given in true airspeed, not indicated. In a more extreme example, let's say you're in a 737 at FL350.
How To Plan a Cross-Country Flight
Useful Load: Subtract the Basic Empty Weight from the MGTW, and you have your Useful Load. This includes the weight of the fuel onboard, the weight of the pilots and passengers, and any cargo you're carrying. Usable Fuel Load: The weight of the fuel that you can use for flight planning.
We Fly: Cirrus SR22T 8000
The flight plan gave us a chance to run the Cirrus Perspective+ through its paces in short order, like a greatest-hits playlist from more than 15 years of development. ... Max Cruise Speed: 213 ...
Takeoff, Climb and Cruise
Typically, the climb to the flight plan's cruise level (e.g., FL210) happens in several steps (step climbs). Each to be instructed and cleared by ATC. ... Speed is cruise speed as per ECAM PERF CRZ page. Autopilot is ON. Speed is in Managed Mode. This is usually the quietest time of the flight.
What is true airspeed?
The AIM requires you report to ATC or FSS anytime the average true airspeed (at cruising altitude) varies by 5 percent or 10 knots (whichever is greater) from that filed in the flight plan. So, if you normally fly at 10o knots true airspeed, you need to report if you are flying faster than 110 knots or if you slowed to below 90 knots.

Flight Planner. Enter departure and destination ICAO codes to compute a new flight plan. This route generator attempts to find an optimal route through global airways and intersections. When crossing the Atlantic or the Pacific, the current oceanic tracks can optionally also be considered. Generation can take up to 2 minutes, so please be patient.
ISA and Cruise Planning
At ISA+20 weight must be at or below 6,500 pounds. A Phenom 100 flying at 41,000 feet (below), and weighing 8,800 pounds is capable of cruise at 41,000 feet, but it will fly 30 knots faster—and achieve better mile per pound efficiency—at 40,000 feet. A pilot who ignores these limits risks a high-altitude stall.
Flight Plan
Description An ATC flight plan is a document which provides specified information to air traffic service units relative to an intended flight or portion of a flight of an aircraft. (ICAO Annex 2: Rules of the Air) A navigation flight plan is a document prepared in accordance with the instructions of the operator contained in the Operations Manual and used in flight by the pilot to assist in ...
41. Flight Plan Route Description
Generating a description from a present flight plan uses the cruise speed from the loaded aircraft performance file (Aircraft Performance) and the cruise altitude as set in Cruise altitude. Note that you can modify the flight plan in parallel on the map or in the flight plan table. Move the Flight Plan Route Description aside to do so.
Cruise speed: Aircraft Terms Explained
Cruise speed is a critical parameter that pilots and operators consider when planning flight schedules, fuel consumption, and overall flight performance. Importance Determining and maintaining a suitable cruise speed is essential for the safe and efficient operation of an aircraft.
