Hi all,
I thought I would take my 914 up to 10,000 feet and run it at 100% power to see
if it would do the mythical 200 mph. Here are the data I recorded.
OAT 16 c
10,000' @ 29.92
North GPS 129 knots
South GPS 175 knots
East GPS 167 knots
West GPS 140 knots
I plugged these numbers into the 4 Axis IAS spread sheet that I got from the
Europa
club and it tells me that the TAS is 178 knots with a density altitude of
12,310', but..... this is where I get confused. None of my ground speeds are
178 knots, so am I misunderstanding something here, or are the calculations in
the spread sheet incorrect.
