ups.com... [...] So whats the deal here? Are we just thinking of two diffrent concepts? Your instructor is wrong, and should not be instructing. In straight and level flight, lift equals weight. Unless your weight changes, lift does not change, regardless of airspeed. What *can* change is the lift coefficient, which is determined by the angle of attack. But lift itself remains static. Pete
