So... If you're sinking at 1 meter/sec and cruising at 100 km/hr,
what's your glide ratio?

If you're sinking at 2 kts and flying at 60 kts, what's your glide ratio?

How many km per degree of longitude?

How many nm per degree of longitude?

I could go on...


I don't fly using glide ratios, so being able to determine them easily
isn't an asset. I use McCready numbers for the speed to fly and for the
glide calculation, which is done by my flight computer. As for km, NM,
and degrees of latitude, I also let the flight computer work it's magic.

Doesn't everybody do it that way now? :^)
