Brief Description: 11th Flt. Climb rate, Glide, A/P work
|
|
CG 80.5; Climb power settings maintained at 75%
Performed timed climbs at 70,80,90,100,100,120 MPH from 2000 ft to 5000 ft.
Graph results below. Since peak occurs at 90, need to also obtain data for 85 & 95 mph to better characterize the peak region.
Performed glide testing at 90,80,75,70 mph. Optimum sink rate occurs around 75 mph (~650 fpm) which coinsides with 3 yellow lights on AFS Sport AOA.
Performed A/P tracking tests TO and FROM the UBG VOR and tracking the UAO LOC. Works good.
