Line Up and Wait
So, in the G1000 172S the green arc on the tach maxes out at 2500 RPM. Unless you go above 5,300 feet, then its 2600 RPM. Again, at 9,700 ft it increases to 2700 RPM. I've always just accepted this but only recently asked why. Google had no answers so maybe you can shed some light on this.
Why does the "normal cruise RPM" displayed on the G1000 increase with altitude?
I feel this should be super obvious and something from aviation 101 that I'm forgetting.
