If your software has it how much are you using this feature? Do you tend to use it more than traditional MC/ballast/bugs settings for final glide calculation? I am suspicious of usefulness of this feature in fast changing conditions. What is your experience? AK I don't use Flown L/D very much, but use Required L/D a lot. After awhile, you get a good feel for what your glider can do in various conditions. For example, in my LS6 I'm happy when I have 25/1 to the place I want to land at (and I use L/D to the field elevation to prevent weird numbers showing up at close ranges). 30/1 is good for starting a long final glide. 35/1 is iffy but close. Makes keeping track of landable fields easy at a glance, and makes a nice cross check during climb to final glide and during the glider. Kirk 66 |
