CNVV question

Not answering your question, but make yourself a translation table from knots to kmph and from feet to meters. I found flying with unfamiliar units on the instruments took up unnecessary attention. Last time I did this: flying a totally unfamiliar glider type (Duo) with unfamiliar metric instruments over a new area for me (Wiener Neustadt) I had no problem with speeds or altitude, but did find I was misreading the vario in sink. I kept taking a -2 reading as meaning 2 kts of sink when it was double that in reality. As a result I had a tendency to think "no problem" rather than "lets stick the nose down and get out of here" . -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
