Aircraft Performance: Changing Airspeed in Straight-and-Level
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
Normal cruise involves setting cruise power, holding cruise altitude, and accepting the airspeed that is achieved, which should be close to the figure published in your Pilot’s Operating Handbook. On occasions, however, there is a need to fly at other than normal cruise airspeed. Today, we'll discuss the basics of changing speeds in straight-and-level flight
