Jerry B12:
Can't help but notice you're posting from Arizona:
Can you confirm which units you are talking about, Kts or MPH.? How is the mainscale of your ASI calibrated?
Our PA28, an aged American import has the ASI primarily calibrated in MPH with a smaller scale marked in Kts.
Interestingly however, the POH figures are all nice tidy multiples of 5 and 10 mph e.g. Vr 80mph, Max angle climb 80 mph. best glide 105mph, glide approach 95 mph, clean stall 70mph, that I use these figures rather than mess about with ugly conversions into Kts>
Naturally I use Kts in route planning but as it happens cruise is a nice tidy 135kts.
Not a problem, we in aviation are all used to interchangeable SI, Imperial and downright archaic (I mean,
inches for Altimeter settings
?) in the practise of our hobby/occupation, but it can bite yer b*m if you mix the units at an in appropriate moment.
Safe flying
