No thor, we will not make an exception to basic methodology. But we may at one point change the methodology. What has to be show is that a different methodology would produce a better overall product, not just look at one data point and say it would be better in this case.
And that is one of the things I have been trying to help you to understand our thought process. We are always reevaluating how we do things. It is one of the reasons I am involved in this discussion. Items like your data post, are only another item for consideration, it really is not a conclusive , must be change what we do type piece of data.
does it bother you that you are vulnerable to so many inconsistencies because you take such a stringent stance on subjective information. do you some times feel let down in your efforts to be objective because you have settled on this method and criteria?
Again you make a statement with out any supporting evidence. You assume we are vulnerable, we can very easily say we are very consistent in our methods. You are wanting us to be completely inconsistent in our modeling by asking us to make an exception in the way we model flaps with the 109.
i will think about it hitech, i see the problem with "accurate" where specific data is missing. ...
You may be missing my question, I am not asking how to be accurate with missing data, I am asking to define what accuracy is. As I said, you may not quite see the difference because right now you are thinking the term accurate is an obvious word.
It is not so obvious when you think of the entire system, and that we are not real world but on a 2D screen with a key board and a Joystick for control, and the joy stick works nothing like a real joystick in a plane works.
after all no matter what information i find or can prove, none of that however compelling is going to change a flight manual that has already been printed 60+ years ago. it will take no small amount of research to address even one aircraft, and that information will still conflict with the criteria you have gone with for years.
You have only scratched the surface with this statement. The more you do research, the more you will find conflicting data from many different sources. As I said, your post is only 1 sheet, I.E. 1 data point with out any knowledge surrounding why the sheet was produced.
Even your sheet can be misleading with out basic knowledge of flight, I.E. it may be safe to drop flaps at those speeds with the plane at 1 G loads, what happens at greater loads? Maybe this is why your data sheet conflicts with flight manuals?
