We are having a public Airport Open House this Saturday (airport web site www.Fly-denmark.com.au ) and organizing it is taking a lot of time.  After clean up and decompression I will work on it next week.

Fred,
This would make an excellent article for our Lancair Owners & Builders Organization (LOBO) newsletter, and make it thereby an “archived” item, if you’re willing to donate the time for this?

Thanks in advance!

If there is enough interest I can show the full calculation so you can do it yourself at altitude.  I can also expand the interesting part of the chart and put in some additional diagonal lines to allow one to resolve speed better.  Remember: with log scales, the line for 275 mph is NOT halff way between the 250 and 300 lines.

 

If enough are interested, I will write a little monograph for the archives that has the data on atmospheric density, simple calculation methods, conversion factors, and all that jazz so you can do it yourself.
