Reading Mark Twombly column in the March issue of AOPA Pilot, got me
thinking about the max speed, average speed and odometer that is recorded
in my 496. I had the 496 for the last year I owned my RV-6 and
it sat dormant for a year until my -8a was finished. I had never had
any of the 496's data fields set up to show odometer or max speed.
I was supprised to find out 243 knots was the max speed recorded but
can't recall when it was! I was a little supprised that the trip average
speed was 135 knots (must be all that time at low level with the power
way back!). I had to interpolate a little but figured I've put approx 16,500
nm on my -8a. All of the _96 have this feature. What does yours show?
