Morning Guys First off I was just pondering the requirements to get into the real pilots lounge..... But anyway I rarely use indicated airspeed anymore (for years in fact) The Dynon with the gps slaved to it and the AHRS make it a no brains situation and is really the quicker number to see on the D10A. Anything that I have reported wether it is at altitude or in the pattern to touch down is true air speed. I have seen the actual touch down number as low as 56 mph but as stated that can change with the weather. Joe Horton, Looking for the lounge ... I want to turn in some of my air miles...
