30 minute reserve
Isn't this 30 *minute* reserve rule for day VFR flight a bit odd? Here
are 2 examples to illustrate why I say that. In a J3 Cub you are going to go just over 35 miles in those 30 minutes. In an RV-7, you can go 100 miles with that same 30 minutes reserve. If there is a head wind the difference is going be even greater. Both airplanes need about the same length runway, yes I know the cub can land in less space, but both need less than 1000 feet. Wouldn't a reserve rule that stated the minimum distance you could fly in calm air be a better rule? -- Chris W Gift Giving Made Easy Get the gifts you want & give the gifts they want http://thewishzone.com
