Re: Help on Dynamic pressure formula

Marcel_MPH,

As you say, there's barely a book which explains these formulas, but the one containing a COMPLETE reference to all of the necessary formulae for instrument calibration is -

Air Navigation, H.O. Pub. No. 216, published by the U.S. NAVY HYDROGRAPHIC OFFICE.

It was published for Navigators, not pilots or aerodynamacists, but it was (and still is) my bible during my training for Flight Navigator Licence, and later for Performance Engineering. The much more modern publications I've used don't even come close in many respects. Mind you, there's a lot of cr@p to wade through, like Astro Navigation, which, like me, has outlived it's usefulness.

Last published in 1963, perhaps a little hard to get these days.

Regards,

Old Smokey
