Title: C-130J - cruising speed
Post by Misil on Jan 5^th, 2007 at 7:58am

Hi,
i have question about J variation cruising speed. U.S. Airforce web say:

cruising speed �350 kts �
economical cruising speed �340 kts �
cruising altitude �28,000 ft �
service ceiling �30,500 ft �

But i fly in FL280 and my speed never exceed 260kts IAS. Plane is empty, 30% fuel, no wind. What i make wrong?
