Flying Category

Maybe we should have a flying category to talk about air speeds, landing and whatnot.

Good idea. You start.

Think carefully about the format, so that we can all flow suit, for easy cross reference.
I suggest :

  • Sonex power configuration, as in Engine & Prop & any aircraft specific divergence from plans eg wing tanks.
  • All speeds in knots (kph/mph/ in brackets).
  • Airspeeds in Indicated & True, at the altitude where noted.
  • Fuel consumed in Litres/hr (Gals/gr in brackets) for whole of trip (not just Cruise)
  • Climb performance & fuel consumption
  • Take Off - Short Field & Normal
  • Landings should also include stage of flap used & why.
  • Other comments
