Please
allow me to suggest a new concept: "real airspeed" or "RAS" RAS
is defined as TAS reported by the airplane or kit manufacturer times
80%. There is also a formula for detemining RAS based on TAS as
reported by the owner. Unfortunately you have to apply one of the
following three concepts to the owner: "truth teller", "fibber" or
"bald-faced liar". The discounts from TAS are, respectively, 5%, 10%
and 30%. A friend constantly wonders what it is about him that causes
experimental a/c to slow down by 30 kts. whenever he gets in them.
The concept of RAS should take care of the problem. Fly safe --
you'll live to brag.
Duh!!!
That's why some of us race 'cross country.
The stop watch produces 100% truth (as in fact).
Dayton -> OSH, 205.4 Kts
