No. Maximum level-flight speed of 120 knots.


"A maximum airspeed in level flight with maximum continuous power (VH) of
not more than 120 knots CAS under standard atmospheric conditions at sea
level."

As the 51% builder, do you set what you want your powerplant's (VH) to be?

"...unrestricted periods of use."
"Hmm, UNRESTRICTED PERIODS and CONTINUOUS (@ sea level) this old engine
won't hold up unless you back 'er off a bit."
"A wee bit more..."
"I don't think she can take much more of this, Captain."

(VH) Sound like Cruise Speed to me. Where am I wrong?
"Birth" ...is not an answer option!

"Rated maximum continuous power," with respect to reciprocating,
turbopropeller, and turboshaft engines, means the approved brake horsepower
that is developed statically or in flight, in standard atmosphere at a
specified altitude, within the engine operating limitations established
under
Part 33, and approved for unrestricted periods of use.

A Fly Baby doesn't have an outhouse, much less a cabin... :-)
