Chart of 11 archived ground-speed reports for Mooney M20 C-GXPD; one reads 1,274.3 knots, the rest 136.6 to 169 knots.
Archived ground-speed reports for Mooney M20 C-GXPD around the selected value. Each dot is a saved report; lines stop at gaps over 45 seconds, source changes and rejected readings. Archive timestamps do not establish exact message freshness. The peak is an unconfirmed reported value and does not show how fast the aircraft flew.

A single ground-speed report jumped to 1,274 knots between readings of 169 and 140 knots on July 23, 2026. The aircraft database lists C-GXPD as a Mooney M20, and the aircraft was reported near Stockbridge, Michigan. The reports on either side were each 15 seconds from the spike.

That abrupt jump and return could reflect a decoding or data error. All 10 surrounding reports recorded speeds between 137 and 169 knots. The isolated value does not establish the aircraft's performance, and these readings cannot establish what caused the error.
