It sounds like you are on track with my number manipulations. I just took the normal SR contraction equation and worked it backwards to get the equivalent velocity that the ship must exhibit. I do not know of another way to obtain that value, perhaps you have an idea.
Be skeptical, that is not a bad thing in most cases.

I think I misstated what you had in mind -- I don't think you were talking about summing up acceleration in this case, just calculating the velocity working backwards from apparent time dilation. I'm still skeptical, though. ;) Eric
