Europa-List: Re: Europa Oshkosh Accident

[Mark Burton <markb@ordern.com>]

If you use a GPS (who doesn't?) then it makes sense to compare your airspeed 
against
the GPS when you are downwind in the circuit and also when you have just
turned onto final to avoid being fooled by a gross error caused by a failure
of the pitot/static/asi system. Obviously, you have to take the (possibly 
estimated)
windspeed into account and the numbers will rarely match up exactly but
if the results are wildly different, you can be on your guard.
