| Notes |
Cruise at 65%, FL190, TAS 181, Wind on the tail
@ 68 kts., flying direct from Toledo (TOL), my home base, to
Hanscom/Bedford (BED).
I have included two photos from my Garmin 530W.
One showing the navigation page with a speed of 247 kts. and
one on the wind calculation page showing a speed of 249 kts.
(TAS + Tailwind = 181 + 68 = 249). I guess I didn't catch the
nav page at the higher speed.
I'll get it next time.
It was a nice quick trip only sullied by very difficult landing
at BED. Weather from the east came in 4 hours earlier than forecast
and I landed on the ILS on my second attempt at reported 400
& 1/4 mile, but was actually lower.
The tail wind at the start of the ILS was 36 kts and at the
surface there was no wind.
