MPH to KTS

See http://www.onlineconversion.com/speed_all.htm
That site has many conversions too. Now I just have to figure out how to get
online while flying. ;-)

Normally my airspeed indicator and GPS are in MPH. I do the conversion, if
necessary, on the ground while planning the flight.

One good place to check out formulas and such is google.

Example: type in google search bar:

1 mph in knots

it will come back with 1 mph = 0.868976242 knots

If you fly by the Mach meter you don't have to convert.

What's your stall speed in Mach?

0.025 in my storch ;)

Hope this helps,
Peter

if your airplane is in MPH and your checklist is in knots then you have
the wrong checklist for your aircraft.

Our airplanes have MPH on the AS gauge, and our checklists have kts
(ie Best Glide, 65kts)

That's great. Now all he needs is his laptop displaying Google while he
is flying! ;-)

Seriously now, thanks for the information. I didn't know Google did
that.

Where does the counting on your toes part come in?

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!
