I do have the same number between ROP/LOP. But for me taking off the
de-ice had a larger effect. I got at least 12 kts or better extra speed. I
used to cruise 240 (full fuel, 2 250lbs persons and luggage) and 247 (with
1/3 tanks) @ 17500 LOP.

Now I am cruising LOP 254-256kts with the same configuration. Making me
very happy as my plane is called 'a heavy IV-p bird lol
And if you can count 2-3kts/1000ft that would make it flying
270kts/level250 :)~ (MP 31.5, FF=19, 2500rpm, >80 degrees LOP)

I pickup about 8 kts when running ROP. I pickup about 3 kts per thousand
feet increase in altitude. The "air" can change the TAS 10-15 kts pretty
easy, so getting good test data is difficult. I ran some tests back to
back ROP and then LOP at a variety of altitudes. 8 kts is a decent rule
of thumb.

Craig,

just noodling about my de-ice again.  trying to figure out how slow I'm
going to be.
I only have ROP numbers on my plane at fl250.  Trying to convert those
into LOP speed.
Do you have ROP numbers for your plane up there?  In other words do you
know your ROP to LOP speed penalty?
