Whats the conversion off hand to convert?
Our airplanes have MPH on the AS gauge, and our checklists have kts
(ie Best Glide, 65kts)


Sure. It's easy.

First take the square of the speed (in knots).
Then add 56 times the original speed, add 784,
and then add another 32% to that total. Take the
square root, subtract 32 and there's your answer!
