New Butterfly Vario
VG post by Andy Gough.
This debate has been going on since the '60s!
AH s and T and S had to be removed for constests outside
the UK ( and Yugoslavia etc) but then the Bohli compass appeared
which confused the issue.
I personally proved to myself that I could manage for a while
using a COOK compass, predecessor of the Bohli.
Cloud climb with only ASI and vario! Wow.
I would not try that in a modern ship.
The GPS record should take care of transgressions, but
wave either lee o thermal ,poses a problem.
