"bent like a dog's hind leg," 1703. Originally of a type of staircase.
=A0
A quick flight planning exercise for the IV-P. I selected two worst case ov=
er water flights at FL200=A0around L Superior(DLH to YXZ)=A0and L Michigan(=
OBK PMN). It only seems to add 5-7 minutes to the flight to avoid the "outs=
ide glide range" area. Just from a time efficiency standpoint(planning, gea=
r, training, etc), this seems like a faster strategy.
=A0
Same applies to ice or CBs. The plane is so fast, why not go around it and =
enjoy the scenery in VMC=A0for an extra 10 minutes, instead of white knuckl=
es? A divert to the right can also pick up a tailwind around the Low, and y=
ou can beat your counterpart who went thru the middle of it!
=A0
If you have a flight planner that lets you do "rubber band" diverts around =
"dark stuff", it is always impressive how little distance the dogleg adds. =
That triangle distance looks a lot bigger than the straight line, but it re=
ally isn't, as a fraction of the total trip.
