And I only worry about compressibility if I'm approaching Mach 1, which
doesn't happen often in a Baron. QED.


Or flying a desk.

Well you should have been. Do a little research.

You wouldn't know what al that menat if it hit you on the head, fjukkwit.

Duh.

The clock on your aircraft runs slower as you accelerate, due to relativistic
effects. But then it also runs faster as you climb, again due to relativistic
effects. Do you take these effects into account in your on-board
calculations?


Sure I do. I have to since I'm close to a Lightspeed in my C150.

Mike,

It is speed. GPS travels much faster than we do.


Actually, in the case of GPS, it's not only speed, but also the
gravitation of the earth - or, IOW, general relativity rather than only
special relativity.

Erik,

Rising air and maintaining altitude does not decsending make.

It's all in the definitions - in this case of the word "descending". And MX
is a master at shifting definitions in mid-discussion to evade his many
mistakes.

Do yourself a big favor. Get out there and spend the $50-60 and get an
intro flight. Take some damn lessons. Hell, even get a CFI just to get
out there and do some of this. You'll see how vastly different it is
from MS's Flight sim.

If you have read MS threads, I'm sure you realize you'r falling into the
same trap many of us have fallen into: MX does not at all want to learn. He
wants to make trouble here. He is deadly afraid of flying. Yet you still
take him seriously.

Mxsmanic,

Sure you do ... in your GPS receivers. The adjustments for relativistic
effects are necessary to make the receivers reasonably accurate.


Again, you have no clue what you are talking about. First, you are dodging
the subject, since the GPS measurements have nothing to do with the
aircraft's flight or climb. Second, the accurate clocks in GPS are not at
all in the receivers, but rather in the satellites. The receiver clock is
"told" by the satellites what time it is.

Your attempts at being an expert (or even a decent researcher) in every
field are pathetic and only serve to show how very little you really know.
Not knowing stuff is not a problem at all - until you claim to be a
know-it-all, like you do.

And those miniscule adjustments are only required at the speeds of the GPS
satellites, which are many thousands of miles per hour-not several tens of
miles per hour.

No. There are nearly half a dozen relativistic effects that must be
compensated for in the GPS. The nominal clock frequencies, for example,
must
be adjusted by slightly less than one part in two billion in order to
adjust
for the cumulative relativistic effects.

I doubt we have clocks accurate enough to measure the relativistic
effects at
our speeds.

effects are necessary to make the receivers reasonably accurate.

True. Making general relativity even less significant in aircraft. And the
act of climbing itself, has no effect. The different altitudes will, but not
the acceleration of climbing.
