Groundspeed 455 kts
Notes This photo was taken in level flight at F270 tracking from Perth (YPPH) to Albany (YABA) with a 155kt tailwind displayed on the FMS. As this flight was only for testing purposes we descended to F260 and turned for Perth, the ground speed increased slightly during the descent before reducing to 155KIAS with a 140kt headwind. Long trip home…!
