Subject: [LML] finding the rig= ht altitude in a 4P

Dear subscribers=2C
 
One question bo=
thers me for a while now and maybe someone can give me an
answer on it.<=
br> 
How do I find the right altitude with a head wind?
 
Usually =
winds get stronger when you go higher - at the same time the
plane goes =
faster when you go higher. 
 
If I think long enough I probably could=
 come up with a solution
calculating headwind components at different al=
titudes and comparing it
with the 3 kts speed increase per 100ft (Craig =
Berland's number).
 
How do you find your altitude without messing ar=
ound for too long?
 
Thanks
 
Ralf
