COMPARE THIS ULTIMATE PANEL
Here's an easy approximation... 40:1 glider
Lay your hand on the sectional. Measure the distance with your finger width. Each finger width = 1000' of altitude required -- ie, 3 fingers = 3000' required (Obvious caveats such as glider performance, width of fingers, etc.) Larry "Nick S" wrote in message : Ok, so this has sparked a curiosity for me. Who has a list of WAGs (Mental math calculations) that can be used in the cockpit for glide distances with wind and such? Is there a resource right now listing them? Obviously I know it depends on glider performance, but what are some starting points? -Nick S |
