Rich!,
Welcome back, it's been a long while since we last communicated, the Aspen Co exercise comes to mind. What is that damned 50 foot obstacle at the runway end by the way ?, always wondered..... (I have visions of J_T with hunting rifle and theodolite over his shoulder, suitably equipped with snow shoes and skis, wending his way along the OEISID, making due obstacle allowance for snow depth of course). (Sorry John, I couldn't resist).
Do expect a PM soon WRT the documents offered, I've already reserved some space on my new hard drive for your offering...........
mcdhu,
It will be interesting what you observe. Damned Flat ratings, they do make a mess of conventional wisdom sometimes. One factor to consider is that, if within the Flat Rating limits, but below the maximum Pressure Height for the Flat rating, thrust can slightly increase with increasing altitude. Being a simulator, there are instances where data has been "cut to fit", and a realistic but not quite so precise results may occur.
