Title: Aircraft performance on kneeboard
Post by: Animal14 on December 10, 2010, 01:35:16 PM
I know this has been asked for before. But it would be cool to have
Vy/Vx of the plane you are currently flying in at published weights available.
Also the performace curves. This info would have been found in the poh and
I would imagine would have been either memorized by the pilots/available to them
in their plane.

   I made a small book of information on Aces buy just printing out the charts.  Then i put it in a binder.  It was easy to do, I just sat around and drank a few beers while I did it.  More important to me is proper fuel management, so I also made a series of pages stating RPM and throttle settings for fighters and Bombers.  Very helpful.

Helm I'm like the idea but I don't have that kind of motivation and I'm too busy getting shot down!
And I think holmes said "for the airplane you are currently flying." that's exactly what I would like.

Here's the info for the WW1 a/c..... feel free to print out and use in your own Flight Manual.

Stall : wing shake
Vne  : wing shake then break
Climb: point up a bit (toss all unnecessary equipment overboard)
Dive : never for longer than 3 seconds (see Vne)

Heres what I do in the airplane: Roll down the runway until it takes off, and when I'm landing i approach at 120, then dump all my flaps in once I get close to the runway.

With the exception being the 262, because I only landed one once, and skidded it.
