Do you mean speed that aircraft are assigned by mission generator (if you look at planning map it's the speed at each waypoint, it works similarily for AI flights as they fly their own waypoints)?

This is taken from "aircraft's name"_data.ini file (for stock aircraft you have to extract it from objectdata.cat using the cat extractor foung here in downloads/utilities) tag [FlightControl] entry CruiseSpeed=

There are several problems asociated with it. First, this number is in meters per second while in game speed is measured in knots. Also the number you see in planing map is true airspeed (the speed you are moving in relation to the ground), not the indicated airspeed (that the instruments report and that is affected by low air pressure at altitude). Some airecraft have a true airspeed indicator.
