Groundspeed x  time equals  distance covered..  (to put it another way.) Nev

Turbs, your info would only apply in still air. Distance / GROUNDSPED = time.  Nev

It's about OTHER points of view to yours and you run your line incessantly, skippy. 

The spiral is the usual way of going in.  Nev

I didn't make it  to get a response. It's not all about MPG. Some of my most enjoyed trips were in a tiger moth at 78 Knots.  Nev

You feel the bumps more at higher speeds. Just fly lower and it seems fast. Nev

Canberra Goulburn Crookwell area is not much for weather..   Nev

I suggest corrugated sheet steel as a minimum....  Nev

Good for landing into the sunset (if you must)   Have the seat set lower. You mustn't hit your head in turbulence with the seat belt tight.  Nev

I don't recall it having anything to do with metric conversion. 1,000 feet is a good sized vertical distance separation. THAT makes other units clumsy. Nautical miles relates to Knots easily and distances in metres.. Russia uses Metres for height..  Nev

Aren't they avoidance techniques?   Nev

THEY are defined as they should be. It's just a matter of getting it right.   Nev

WE are learning.. You made it happen.  Nev

I don't come here for the amusement of you to be shot down in flames for fun. Your last response is not helpful either. This place is a hostile environment for SERIOUS discussion and there couldn't be anything much more serious than the subject we are discussing. Just realise what you are doing. Most like me have left.. There's a time for humour but it's NOT all the time.  You know I'm a safety nut above all else.  Nev

Corrosion Inhibited is the term. Running it now and then can be  "helping " it to corrode. It takes about 40 minutes air time to get a motor to  a stable operating temp. Nev

IF you cared to read what I've posted over many years, you would be   aware of my consistent approach to this topic. Your last line is a CHEAP shot unworthy of you. The Part of my post you quoted WAS   information that I hoped would be useful. You could have built on that. OR ASKED A QUESTION .... of me  if that's what you actually wanted.  Nev

You had a bit of luck riding with you. It used to be called "scud" running.  Nev

If you've done much Instrument flying you wouldn't need me to tell you what's wrong with the "technique" bit. Limited Panel is difficult and also tiring. You need at least one gyro instrument.  If you have a good Full panel  the artificial horizon makes it relatively simple to know which way is up. It was originally known as ATTITUDE Instrument Flying.  Nev

Instrument Meteorological Conditions IS indeed the correct term.  Conditions permitting VFR flight are covered above. VFR at night requires special training and has extra risks associated with it for obvious reasons.  Nev

I would not use any forum as a reliable source of information on this subject  The "Technique"... Is  real  BS.  Nev

Not a lot of planes have the facility of fuel dump systems. Mostly the larger stuff when the max landing weight is well under the Max take off weight. IF it's urgent you land overweight(carefully) and the plane  has to be inspected, if it's not a squeaker landing.  Nev

I don't think I said it was a sim. The shadow would not be there as it was, in a sim. Nice fin and rudder on that plane. Makes it easier to control.  Nev

Plenty of people seem to think there's nothing to it.. Nev

"Thought s and Prayers" don't cost much. Payers  are different.  Nev

Plenty don't seem to know how much they haven't been taught but how would they? It's neglect of a duty of care by the system. Nev
