If someone can explains me how to determine this two coefficient.
Thanks in advance.

May I suggest another book that you'll find interesting:
"Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators" by H.H. Hurt, Jr
NAVWEPS 00-80T-80
Naval Air Systems Command
United States Navy
There are a number of reprints; the one I have was
made by ASA, ISBN 1-56027-140-X (sold on Amazon or
your local pilot shop).

If you are talking about the L/D coefficient. This is a commonly used
performance metric for gliders. The attached website has an explanation
of how it is calculated for a glider (should be same for powered
aircraft)

There is no such thing as a Cessna C-160. Theres a C-150 and a C-170,
but no C-160.

I bet there is, we just aren't aware of it because it may not have been
produced.

Grandss,
If I'm not mistaken your are the same guy that was having problems with
their simulator the other day. Have you considered asking these questions in
rec.aviation.simulators ?

He did. He simple failed to cross-post properly. He got less response
there anyway (though it's not true that there's "no answer at this momemt").
