Group: Forum Members Posts: 152, Visits: 352	Hi When planning a flight fro Denmark to Marocco in a Cirrus SR22T with indicated speed 170kt I get data for Best altitude. If I change to a Cessna 172 with indicated speed of 100kt I get no data. What is the correlation between speed and Best altitude?

Could you contact them? Thanks Tim, I will contact customer support. No error in SkyDemon. The reason to no weather data is that my unrealistic long route takes more than the weather forecasts can show - more than 24 hours. Thanks for help and a lot of good information about Best Altitude calculations. Thanks to support for a very quick response. Last evening I had 22 pilots and 1 instructor for setup and education in SkyDemon. For those with other planning tools it opened up a new and better World.‌‌
