When choosing a pizza I go for the one with the most cheese. |

What part of the word 'estimate' do you not understand?

As a PhD in chemistry myself I would estimate the knowledge gap with someone with no special knowledge of chemistry to be about 1000 feet. As a pilot , PPL only, I estimate the knowledge gap between me and an average non pilot to be about 5000 feet. Now , I am not an ATP but I do know a couple, and one of them even talks to me, as long there are no other ATPs around, and I estimate a gap of at least 35000 feet between them and me. That would put the gap between an ATP and an average non pilot at 40000 feet, so looks like you are wrong again Maxie. Your logic is flawed. You've expressed an obvious opinion, and then misconstrued it as fact. |

Terry, I was thinking more of your chemistry background. Even here we
tend to measure, the the chemisty world, distances in meters. Well, nanometers. I really did not know aviation down under used English units, thanks for the education. Are altimeters set in inches of Hg? May 24, 9:14 am, terry wrote: On May 24, 10:47 pm, Tina wrote: Now come on, the gap between a chemist and a non chemist would not be 1000 feet, not down under. It might be 300 meters On May 24, 8:38 am, terry wrote: We are mulitunital down here Tina, in aviation we measure ht in feet and horizontal distance in m. So our VFR rules are to remain clear of cloud by 1000 feet vertically and 1500m horizontally. I kid you not. Terry |

I really did not know aviation down under used English units, thanks for the education. Are altimeters set in inches of Hg? Tina, we are basically metric in Australia but as I understand it feet are used worldwide for altitude in aviation. Our altimeter subscales are in HPa ( although I still call them mbars). 1013.2 HPa =29.92 in Hg. In the petrochemical industry where I work we use a real mish mash of units. For pressure I am forever having to interchange between KPa, mmHg (torr), psi and bars. Terry |
