WALL OF FAME - 2007
    • Name: F. Barry Knotts
    • Airline: Private
    • Date: 21 November 2007
    • Notes: Cruise at 65%, FL190, TAS 181, Wind on the tail @ 68 kts., flying direct from Toledo (TOL), my home base, to Hanscom/Bedford (BED). I have included two photos from my Garmin 530W. One showing the navigation page with a speed of 247 kts. and one on the wind calculation page showing a speed of 249 kts. (TAS + Tailwind = 181 + 68 = 249). I guess I didn't catch the nav page at the higher speed. I'll get it next time. It was a nice quick trip only sullied by very difficult landing at BED. Weather from the east came in 4 hours earlier than forecast and I landed on the ILS on my second attempt at reported 400 & 1/4 mile, but was actually lower. The tail wind at the start of the ILS was 36 kts and at the surface there was no wind.
