The Investigation was also provided with information from an experienced P68 pilot. The pilot informed the investigation that to maintain a speed of approximately 90 kts, a pilot would need to hold the aircraft at a pitch angle of approximately 11% [6.3 degrees]
Surely not a typo when the stated % and degrees matched? Just accurate reporting of the pilot's statement, and conversion for consistency with the rest of the report?
document: a pitch angle of approximately 11% [6.3 degrees]
angle converter program: An angle of 6.3 degrees converts to: 11.04 Percent of a Slope
