On to
the next maneuver, with 10 inches MP we
descended at 90 kts trading
altitude to maintain the
airspeed while varying the configuration of the
plane
with flaps and gear. We paid attention to the rate
of
descent (feet per minute) then went to best glide of
135 kts to note
the descent rate. We found that the
rate of descent was much greater
at 135 kts.
Art,
What was the clean best glide speed?
Do you have an AOA?
What was the descent rate?
Did the rate change when the prop was pulled to coarse
pitch?
