rustle & FlyingForFun
Thank you both for an explanation, which I must say makes more sense to me than the book. (Don't even think..'Well she's only a woman'

)
I am a very very long way from getting a Licence, if indeed I do. I really just want to get an interest in the subject because my husband flies now and again, but even he had a problem, not with the flying into low pressure bit, but the density/pressure bit.
