Classic British Flight Sim

Well, 76 kts is finals speed ( 2 engine ) in my notes which stem from when I was current on the Seneca, now admittedly about 25 years ago. 76 kts is, of course, almost exactly 90 mph ( actually it's 87.5 but no one is that accurate ! ) so your notes and mine tend to correspond ( as within 1 0r 2 percent do the other speeds given ) . Where 89 knots ( as opposed to mph) may have crept in is that 89 kts is the best climb speed single engined, so for a go around you immediately aim for 89 kts

Whoa Nigel...You have suddenly gone to MPH while all previous were Knots!

Oooh 'eck!! Thanks for pointing out my mistake Peter, in all honesty I had not realised that it was MPH as I assumed it was in knots, now I know why I had problems trying to stop before the hedge on some other small airfields I flew into.....My approach was too fast!!

Hi Chris, I think Peter has solved this for us, I had not paid sufficient attention when reading the PDF File, just goes to show how such a stupid mistake could cost an aircraft if landing on a small strip!!

Don't fret too much Nigel. Real pilots (or at least pilots with paying jobs flying an airplane) have done the same recently with no less than 4 Embraer Phenoms running off the end of runways around the US which were operated by notable operators like NetJets and Flight Options.

Thanks Chris. At least if I do happen to run off the end of the r/w at least I don't have to worry about repairs...just reset the flight!!!
