This is slow for an Archer, but 10,000 feet means nothing without

150mph (130kts) wide open throttle at 8000ft DA.


Btw, how do you guys get that high with a non-aspirated and
not-so-powerful engine? Do you do it even with full load? (it seems that
all Americans fly Archers at about 10k ft...

I'm interetested in what kind of airspeed/fpm you use and how do you
lean in climb?

I don't usually go higher than 7000-8000 ft (with full load) and that is
difficult enough in my opinion I try to maintain at least 300fpm all
the way, with airspeed 80kts and leaning gradually after 5000ft.
