So we were in the LSA yesterday and had up to 40 KTs of headwind. Perfect day for slow flight, eh!

I wasn't paying enough attention to know. I just glanced over and thought it would be cool to shoot that.JoeM wrote:Does your display have the ability to show negitive ground speed?

It's really neat to look out the window and see the snails passing you. Of course, slow flight into a 40 knot headwind is flown no differently from doing so with a 40 knot tailwind - it's all about pitch angle and airspeed and the controls going mushy on you - which is, of course, totally independent of Wind or ground speed.
Still, what fun!
