Not to complex the issue up, but you also have to do a table for various
altitudes - head/tailwinds - power settings in the data set. I've done this for
the 182; given Excel and a rainy Saturday, it wasn't too hard.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:


-More interesting would be to know the galls per hour consumed at various
-speeds and then create a table of cruise speeds against head wind
-components (Positive or negative) and then determine the best cruise
-speed for each wind speed for minimum Gallons per mile perhaps?
