Stuff happens!

One of the regs says that you have to advice ATC of any airspeed
deviations of +/- 10% (someone correct me if I am wrong,


Well, you asked for it! Advice is a noun. The word that you wanted
to use is advise, the verb.


I knew that! I didn't catch it, but I see the online service did.

When you fill in the AIRSPEED box, do you give the actual indicated
airspeed for your cruise power setting?


Nope! You use TAS, which is CAS corrected for pressure altitude and
temperature. Hmmm....how do you get from IAS to CAS???? :-)


Nice catch! All these years I never noticed it was TRUE airspeed in
block 4. I have always used indicated. Oh well, that's what the whiz
wheel is for, isn't it?

EDR....you really aren't a pilot are you?


I prefer to think of myself as an "aviator". I chalk it up to a 15 year
layoff of IFR flying. 1200 hours, 400 in a 1945 Champ, doesn't give me
much practice.
