The question I have has he ever really been correct about anything aviation?


Well...

The other day he said something about CAS being "Computed Airspeed", while most
of us who fly think of CAS as "Calibrated Airspeed"... Even though it is a
lesser-used acronym, mainly limited to the Digital Air Data Computer crowd,
"Computed Airspeed" IS a valid description of the acronym/abbreviation...

Correct? Yes. Useful? Who knows...

Dan, do you remember when you were lying about averaging thermocouples by
shorting them together? You would do well to stick to humor.

ARINC likes Computed Airspeed and I generally go along with them. That way
I end up with certification paperwork the ACO understands.

Not to say that if some military procurement required me to say, "calibrated
airspeed" that I wouldn't.

Tarver, I never said that. Making things up is not a good way to make yourself
look good.

Let's see if you can find where I said anything even remotely like that. Quote
it for us in its entirety, not with the usual tarver editing.

It made you look foolish, Dan and then Gord made himself look foolish trying
to help you.

Well, seeing as you refuse to say where I said anything about shorted
thermocouples I have to remind you that YOU were the only one who

mentioned
shorted thermocouples when you said that is the way they usually fail.


I mentioned a dead short as the "major failure mode" of thermocouples to
demonstate the paradox of your lies, Dan.

I will give you this, unlike the village idiot Knoyle, you at least know
that you need both pitot and static pressure to make air data from a pitot
static system, Dan.

But you really ought to stop lying about your "memories".

That is because it is not me that is the idiot.

The irony is rich.
