[color=blue][i][b]What calculation are you using[/b][/i][/color] We have constrained L/D, which constrains alpha and CL. If we equate CL for two ...
[color=blue][i][b]I do not see where zero degrees is related to 3000 ft density height ?[/b][/i][/color] The whizz wheel calculation is made simple...
I notice a lot of references just sort of say to reduce speed a little if weight is less than MTOW. With the L/D constrained, the sums become reaso...
First point - the books vary through different revisions so far as pagination, etc., is concerned. Generally better for the readers if you post a ha...
[color=blue][i][b]I then got my flight computer E6B put in zero° under 3000 (DH) then I read 94 TAS.[/b][/i][/color] It might be useful were you to...
The ISA model is rather idealised and is based on a dry atmosphere which, of course, is pretty well never the case. That is to say, if we are talking...
I don't have your particular POH page to review. Perhaps you might post a photo of it ? I expect that it will indicate that the speed recommended ...
This sort of question revolves on the specific wording. Presumably you have related the question from somewhere else ? Can you confirm that yo...
If I may add a few words to Stuart’s and Bob’s posts. [color=blue][i][b]I would have expected both to have some relationship to the underlying ISA ...
OK, it's pretty clear that you have a Dalton and your brother-in-law a Jepp. However, it appears that, perhaps, both of you really don't understand...
It won't take long to sort out your problem. First, though, we need to be quite clear just which nav computer you have. "E6B" doesn't define it ad...
Not for taking in. My observation is that many students have never heard of it so I like to give it a plug, where appropriate.
Once again, be wary of terms in weight and balance. Industry practice, over the years, has resulted in its being a bit of a dog's breakfast. For...
Empty weight definition. This is defined in CAO100. 7 and no-where else. All other terms, essentially, are not defined other than within the conte...
Reading between the lines, MissSoph uses a Dalton nav computer, not a Jepp machine ? If that is the case, then ETAS would have no functional meani...
