Rowland,Have you come across a version that allows calibration to the instr
ument (rather than to true airspeed, which then needs fiddling back to see
what the instrument should have been reading relative to true airspeed)?

Mike - I didn=99t receive and can=99t seem to find your origina
l message (even using the Matronics search engine) so I am quoting it from
another reply.
There was a folder of information about using GPS to determine TAS and comp
ass errors included on the CD in the Europa Club new-member pack that I use
d to send out when I was MemSec. I=99m not sure if those files had be
en incorporated at the time you would have had your pack, in Apr 2000. I am
trying to get the files put up in the =9Ccalculations=9D secti
on of the new Club website, but have to wait for someone with the appropria
te access to do that.
In the meantime, you could have a look at:
https://www.ntps.edu/information/downloads.html
where several relevant files are available for download under the heading
=9CUsing GPS to Determine Pitot-Static Errors=9D.
