Re : HUDSON

Hudson , RE :" I have never seen a call made when the ASI is less than 80 knots " ......


Hi , just in reference to your statement , in our organisation we do incorporate an " Airspeed Alive " call which is shown as 50 kts on our ASI in the beechjet 400 that we fly in addition to the 80kts call. If as stated in your hypothetical situation that either one of our ASI's are reading incorrectly , it would be possible to pick up the 20 kts difference in reading. On the other hand , it may be a little more difficult to pick if the discrepency is smaller in magnitude.Just a thought.

Cheers
SK
