... 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!

k.net... Sure. It's easy. [...] It IS silly that anyone old enough to be a pilot doesn't know how to convert from MPH to knots. But your answer was just plain *mean*. Not that I didn't enjoy it.  Pete

Where does the counting on your toes part come in?
