Range & Endurance Pistons.
I'm trying to put together a Range & Endurance brief for my Gr.2 upgrade. There are plenty of graphs on Jets etc but seem to be short on pistons. Are there any sites that cover this topic I have done a search on Google.

Websites?
Hi novicef,
I wonder whether you've considered using a textbook? Websites are great for students, as they are free and can be verified for accuracy by asking your instructor.
However, as a wage-earning instructor you can afford to buy a textbook (I hope!), and you are the instructor, so you need a reliable source to back up your instruction. Websites are not reliable sources. Even this one!*
Aviation Theory Centre (Trevor Thom in some countries) do a very good Principles of Flight text. In this country AC Kermode's Principles of Flight is well regarded, although it's quite dated nowadays.
Best of luck,
O8
*Especially this one. So I suppose you shouldn't take my word for it. Oh the paradox...

I will meet all the requirements in 4 months ie. 6 months from obtaining the Gr.3 just getting prepared, I now have all the info from the web sites thanks. Thanks to all the posters. Got Kermode and Naval Aviators.
For info, some real graphs for a Cessna 172 are online here http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/AERO/BA-Form&gra.htm

Grade 2 upgrade briefs
Hi novicef,
If you are preparing briefs for your grade 2, you may want to consider writing a CSU/retract brief. Also, it would'nt hurt to have something written up about the considerations for a first solo, this seems to be a popular subject for CFI's before signing the recommendation part of the test form. The ATO may quiz your on this as well.
Good luck with you preparations.
