I always liked the KC-135R (with CFM56s) procedure-idle the opposite engine! It then had about the same thrust as the original with water going!

There appears to be a SSG 1.10 as I.R.PIRATE on the Africa forum-if it isn't him- a good duplicate.

John, I always thought perf planning was hastily covered, after lunch, by the least interesting instructor (not you or OS) and everyone wanted off for the day. Too much stressed drilling thru charts, which bored the crowd, and not enough on the basic physics involved. It is not hard, but does require some thought. The FAA (thru Part 25) dumbs it down more. How many Vmcg threads have there been? And still most people do not understand the concept, the effects of runway condition and crosswinds.
