"JJ Sinclair" wrote in message ... Does that make sense relative to your practice of turning off the MC audio? Yeah, I have the B-40 audio on all the time set for up only, so it is telling me to slow down or thermal in lift. Just isn't constantly giving me input about the cruise speed I have chosen. Works for me. JJ Sinclair Makes sense to me too. McCready requires an estimate of the NEXT thermals strength. In the big mountains thermal strengths vary widely so there's no way to be sure what to set. On the good side, thermal strengths are likely to be so strong that the McCready speed-to-fly computation will ask for speeds that far exceed "reasonable and safe". The maximum turbulence penetration speed (Vb) then becomes the best speed to fly. Makes me wish the designers would spend some time raising the Vb speeds instead of the L/D. Bill Daniels
