Can anyone comment on the technique in post 3...? Is it not the easiest way of finding your IGE hover performance without any calculating?
Yep----you take off form 6,000 feet and are going to land at 12,000 feet---AND need ot take off again....tell me how your graph helps me....All it tells me is if I can hover IGE....Who cares---if I can't, I will settle to the ground and then figure what to do.

This chart is good for checkrides and those who do not work in the "real' world...That is about it.
