270@20 2700 @20 knots 34 NAUTICAL MILES track 0420T Heading ___@ 89 kts
270 20 K
270@20 2700 @20 knots Tail wind exists so consider a lower power setting. With 75% and 2600 rpm we get 101 airspeed and 115 kt groundspeed. With 55% and 2350 rpm we get 89 airspeed and 101 groundspeed. It makes a difference of 2 extra minutes! Engine stress is much less, fuel flow is less With
CRUISE HEIGHTClouds based at 4000 ASL require 500 ft below cloud, or 3500 feet for cruise. Flying above these could mean tops at only 5500, but 500 ft above cloud would need 7500 cruise eastbound.Note:VFR OTT requires 1,000 feet separation 1,500 feet?
Temp -18C @ 6000 Power selection?Temp -14C @ 650 30.42 so it is -16C at 3500 Pres.alt.3,000

-16C at a pressure altitude of 3,000 gives density altitude of 0 feet. Using the E6B a true speed of 89, also gives 89 Kcas.Add 3 to give 92 knots indicated speed.

5-12 & 13 Wind Direction 2000 – 3000 feet SURFACE
Coriolis Force 5-7 • Increases with wind strength • Coriolis force greatest near poles • Ie. Coriolis can “pull” the wind to geostrophic sooner • Therefore less wind needed to balance PGF near poles • The pressure gradient or isobar spacing giving a 20k wind at 60° N latitude will give a 30k wind at 40° N latitude
GFA REVIEW • Issued at 2330Z, 0530Z, 1130Z and 1730Z • Each GFA covers 12 hours with a 12 hour IFR outlook • All of Canada covered with 7 GFA areas • Heights are feet above sea level • Section 3 of MET in AIP • Movements (fronts, lows, etc.) less than 5k not indicated • CU, TCU, CB and ACC will be indicated • Winds less than 20 k usually not shown • Amended GFA shows CCA, etc in title box
