Great morning for flying here on the Great Plains. Took off at 9:00 into a light north wind, knee board on and ready to start gathering data. Climbed to 2000' AGL (3300 MSL). OAT 56 degrees F humidity 75%. Started speed runs to test ASI readings.
RPM � � � � � � IAS
6000 � � � � � � �80
5800 � � � � � � �78
5600 � � � � � � �74
5400 � � � � � � �70
5200 � � � � � � �67
5000 � � � � � � �62
Power off stalls
Vs 1/2 flap � � 35
Vs full flap � � 32
Landed and talked to my neighbor about flying the Kolb and the readings I logged. I was concerned my ASI is still optimistic. He offered the use of his Garmin 196 and I accepted.
Back up to 2000' AGL. Forgot to record OAT, rats!
RPM � � � � � � IAS � � � � � GPS � � � � �Direction via IFR (I follow roads)
6000 � � � � � � �80 � � � � � � �98 � � � � � � South
6000 � � � � � � �80 � � � � � � �54 � � � � � � North � Average 76 mph
5400 � � � � � � �70 � � � � � � �92 � � � � � � South
5400 � � � � � � �70 � � � � � � �46 � � � � � � North � Average 69 mph
Unfortunately I forgot to take my variometer out of the trike so I could get accurate ROC numbers and the convective activity has picked up by now.
Something to forward to tomorrow.
