The question I have has he ever really been correct about anything
aviation?

Dan, do you remember when you were lying about averaging thermocouples by
shorting them together? You would do well to stick to humor.

Well...

The other day he said something about CAS being "Computed Airspeed", while
most
of us who fly think of CAS as "Calibrated Airspeed"... Even though it is
a
lesser-used acronym, mainly limited to the Digital Air Data Computer
crowd,
"Computed Airspeed" IS a valid description of the acronym/abbreviation...

Correct? Yes. Useful? Who knows...

ARINC likes Computed Airspeed and I generally go along with them. That way
I end up with certification paperwork the ACO understands.

Not to say that if some military procurement required me to say, "calibrated
airspeed" that I wouldn't.
