I was looking through the POH and in the cruise performance chart and they show 2650 rpm having 75% power at 10000 feet. Does this mean it is ok to continuously run the aircraft at that rpm. It red lines at 2700 rpm. If you shouldn't run it at these rpm's why is it listed in the cruise performance chart.
