@ Vertical Freedom - well, doing the tests twice (1st military - 2nd civil) may help to remember more items ;-)
Or a look at the Power Check Diagrams - where you can clearly see, that the differences between sea level and 12.000 feet - at the same OAT - brings a difference from about 100 ° C in TOT....

Flying Bull, are you seriously trying to teach VF about the issues of flying at Altitude!

Look at his altimeter in some of the images he posts.

But the "altitude" must be getting to him because he has previously posted #4073

I would never dare to teach VR anything about high altitude flying!!!

Interesting, what other read out of a short comment so....

VR quoted, that he might have sleept a minute in groundschool - regading to my earlier post.
And that was about simple physics temperature / pressure correlations.

Whats that info good for? Try to boil an egg at sea level for five minutes - and at 20.000 feet - and enjoy the differences

Boiled eegs

Who would ever boil an egg when at altitude. You bring't from ground level. Nepal: 7000 feet and counting!

Hi Flying Bull when my kids were small they loved Soft Boiled Egss and Toast Soldiers for breakfast. Now cooking a boiled egg to perfection is a life skill that takes effort and work.
I used to ,and still do, tell them that the factors that must be assessed are the temperature of the egg, the OAT and the QFE to determine the exact boiling time.

I would not like to test my theories on an egg at VFs altitudes!

I dare say the start button is duplicated and either will work....just use both together for a quick start.

Obviously the earth spike needs to be buried deeper to ensure proper grounding.

Irony as an attempt to overcome terror induced by the Zp number.

The highest I've ever been was 11,000' and that was by myself in a 212...it was so terrifying I didn't think to get a photo of the altimeter for posterity.
