Hi Bob, Stuart and John,
Can you please calculate the 2 following questions for me and let me know the answer you get?. My answer is off by 2 knots on these questions and I want to figure out if the question is slightly inaccurate or my flight computer is dodgy...
PH 9000, OAT -15, CAS 170kt
PH 15,000, OAT -20, CAS 130kt
Answers in the book are
1. 190kt TAS
2.162kt TAS
My computer says
1.188kt TAS
2. 160kt TAS
Cheers,
Dan.
I tally up with the book

Oh boy! what am i doing wrong? Am i missing a step somewhere?.. I have attached two photos of my flight computer...[attachment=1313]IMG_1173.jpg[/attachment][attachment=1312]IMG_1172.jpg[/attachment]
Your not doing anything wrong it seems that your wheel is slightly different compared to ours

Do you think i will be safe in the exam with the slight difference?... I have a jeppersen wizz wheel too and its giving me the same answer as the larger format ASA wheel... Would hate to get questions wrong from something so basic!.
**Correction*** Looks like my Jepp wheel gives me the answers you are getting!... I know which computer to take into the exam now, thank you!.
Great that solves that
