Regarding the gay terrier dogs (feels like in a South Park show here), I confirm the "M" stands for "Minimums".

Unfortunately, with now 7 GPWS modes, the mnemonic is a bit old fashioned (and it just gives the alerts, not the warnings).

Here are the modes and alerts/warnings...

1: Sink rate / Whoop whoop pull up
2: Terrain, terrain / Whoop whoop pull up
3: Don't sink / -
4A: Too low gear / Too low terrain
4B: Too low flaps / Too low terrain
5: Glideslope / -
6A: Minimums / -
6B: Bank angle / -
7: - / Wind shear

We can keep the "Some Terrier Dogs Go For Gay Men", but we'll have to find something for the "B" and "W".

Who has Tray Parker and Matt Stone's email address ???
:D

Factors to be considered in working out whether to carry an alternate or not.

Alternates could very well proove life savers in the end

Aids, cloud,vis,wind, prov, lights, storms, inter, tempo, endurance?

For the IRET & PICD wannabies, ponder this:

IAS is already compensated for instrument error, and this is calibrated for position/pressure error only to give CAS. Before IAS comes Airspeed Indicator Reading, ASIR. Wonderful stuff isn't it.....but more useful than t..s on a nun for the Europeeing licence!

And for Pof addicts: the effects of weight and configuration on speed stability.

Best speed stability = light & dirty
Worst speed stability = heavy & clean

Something about the best type of girlfriend comes in here.....

One for gyros
 

R - T 1

E I A 2

S I X 2

T - D 2

This is for gyros and their axes

You REST because you are TAXD

R = RATE gyro
E = EARTH gyro
S = SPACE gyro
T = TIED gyro

The middle - or I are the axes, ie - = horizontal axis and I = vertical axis

T = Turn idicator
A = Artificial Horizon
x= ? meaningless but its not perfect
D = DI

The last column are the axes of precession (if I am remebering this correctly)

Hope this helps

hufty & rote8

I put the two airspeed / errors together with:

Instant - IAS
Pictures - position error
Rarely - RAS
Capture - compressibility error
Every - EAS
Detail - density error
Truthfully - TAS

Good thread Dean. Hows mod 2 going?
