<p>[QUOTE="Mongoose Aviator, post: 3359296, member: 53571"]Agreed. Set the cruise control at 8 MPH over the limit on the highway in case trying to maintain a constant airspeed is difficult. imho, 8 MPH will still have traffic whizzing past you on the left but you likely are fast enough to feel mostly safe. Doing the actual speed limit on a highway to me feels very unsafe because really nobody drives that. 8 MPH over the speed limit (on a highway) and I do not even hit the brakes on the rare occasion I pass a Police monitoring the traffic.</p><p>Assuming VFR conditions. IFR then reduce speed accordingly and possible ground yourself and wait it out.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I need to pass a tractor trailer then I do so expeditiously with max thrust. I do not feel safe sitting next to a tractor trailer while I slowly pass it and am willing to take the risk of getting pulled over and would attempt to explain that one to a Police Officer. Once passed and with good clearance than I pull back over and resume my intended speed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
