With ASI out, use the back-up stall buzzer on final, then 4 knot accuracy is easy...duh. Ken Nope, no buzzer and not near stall.. Cheers |

You must be numb. Both of my vehicles sound, feel, and act significantly different at 80 than they do at 65 MPH. In top gear of my Toyota, the RPM's are about 400 higher. On the same token, It's not all that difficult to tell 25 from 35, if I try. The wind noise is different, the tach shows a different RPM, and the corresponding engine pitch is noticeably different. Back to the pilot... The _change_ in sounds is a great clue, not just that it's all different and steady. |

This was wifes new Gran Caravan, almost dead quiet inside and I was unfamiliar with it. Your thesis hinges on a familiarity with craft. Ken |
