Buck fifty range profile question
Am I reading this graph incorrectly? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ofileChart.jpg At the 45% power setting, the best range for a Cessna 150M would be achieved by flying anywhere from sea level to a maximum of 1,800 feet? At 75% power the gain is about 2.5 NM of range by flying at 7,000 feet vs. 1,000 feet. This pretty much trashes my fundamental belief that higher altitudes give greater range. What am I missing? -- Dallas
