Some extra thoughts to tack onto Bob's comments. [color=blue][i][b]if you go up 500 feet the adiabatic lapse rate will reduce the temperature by 1 ...
[color=blue][i][b]Thanks for the explanation.[/b][/i][/color] My fault there, I'm afraid, for presuming too much knowledge on the part of readers. ...
Previous post completed. If needs be, please do followup with more questions and we can address those in turn. With a bit of practice, you will fi...

First, the basic requirement is to ensure that the CG is within the envelope at all stages of flight (CAR(1988) 235(9)). For a simple aircraft, thi...
Very difficult to offer comment - I don't have the question to hand and your trimsheet is only part completed (which may well be tied up with the ques...

I don't have Bob's book to hand so I am unable to assist with the specific book-related questions - no doubt Bob/Stuart will be along soon enough and ...
If you are on the optimum angle for a particular weight then, for a different weight at that previous angle, you will be off optimum - the glide angle...
Suggest two tacks you might take - (a) run some forum searches on the question as there are numerous threads on this general subject (b) post on...
Playing with glide characteristics varying with power is not something I've looked at in testing. However, think of things this way - for the ty...
Thanks for that, Stuart. My take on the tracking definition is that tangent is the more correct ratio, albeit that the difference is minimal. ...
Or another hangar story at Since the distances were removed from the AIP, just stay outside without a clearance. The practical answer is that you...
