I'm routinely cruising from the Rockies to the Gulf Coast at FL10+ & above and always in a hurry!
Max MP at 2500 - 2550 RPM .. to maximize TAS .. usually around 135 to 140 ... slightly rich of peak.

So far my engine checking out OK annuals but am I pushing my engine too hard / Lycoming 360MIA?

Steve,
Would you be willing to share your spreadsheet?

Thanks

At lower speeds TAS and IAS should be close enough. Other comments here note that G1000 provides ground speed but that'...

Years ago in a 172 my Pitot failed (bugs) on takeoff .. I just circled and landed. I was wondering weather anyone here has suffered a failed Pitot enroute i.e. no IAS The G1000 no help .. not sure you'll even get ground speed without IAS from Pitot Foreflight in the cabin ... ditto You could call to...

Perfect thanks

Sure. However it Would be helpful to see amps By component for larger loads in case u lose the alternator and need to shed load. Sure you can Go to the essential bus but u may want a more grainular approach
