Having left behind Mr Lockheed's innumerable charts with military retirement; I miss them in my current steads. As check airmen, we had to be able to explain and run thru take-off and landing problems like the flight engineer. I had a much better "feel" for the cababilities of the plane. Tabular data just isn't a comprehensive and accurate. I don't know refusal speed, actual Vmcg/Vmca for the current conditions. Then again, the current generation only wants to look at the FMS.
John: I hope to see you at Avalon in February. New Global Vision is a hoot!
