Default 'nuther question: highest TAS...

Do you know if the OP's supposition that the highest TAS of a turbo'd

is at the critical altitude is correct?


The highest TAS of a propeller driven aircraft will occur at the highest
altitude at which the power being developed can occur. In other words,
if you want to fly at 65% power, fly at the highest altitude at which
65% power can be developed.
