Default Figuring out what affects my speed

Steve Foley writes:

Indicated, calibrated, or true?


TAS. Indicated is about 195. Speed over the ground is about 220,
although I don't consider that a factor here.

In most cases I see somewhat lower speeds in cruise. I'm trying to
figure out what I did different this time (or what might be different
about conditions) that would produce a noticeably higher speed.
