Help: Calculating Mach number
Hi all,
- Using the LSS formula a = 39 √ T and..
- Mach number (M) = Speed of aircraft (TAS) ÷ Local speed of sound (a)
What is the Mach number of an aircraft doing 453 knots groundspeed, with a 58 knot headwind component, cruising at FL380, at ISA plus 5 degrees Celsius?
Appreciate if the workings can be illustrated. Thank you all.
