[Flightgear-devel] DME bias: test, conclusions, and suggested actions

2004-06-10 Thread David Megginson
I have run an additional test on DME bias. The NACO approach plate for the KLAX ILS 6L says that the DME should read 1.6 nm over the threshold; the NACO approach plate for the KLAX ILS 24R says that the DME should read 1.9 nm over the threshold. For background, both the ILS 6L and the ILS 24R us

This week I tweaked the autopilot of the MD11 a bit, and right now I have a reasonably well working autothrottle and altitude hold. I also modified the engine configuration file a bit by lowering the default TSFC and by-pass ratio values, based on information I found on the web. So, this morni
