Berkeley - yes - I was there too. I know exactly where that Nobel parking lot is. They have the coolest parking sticker for their Nobel cars . I heard they gave parking passes on a special basis to fields medalists (math) (even though there is no Nobel in math reputed because of some affair). But the unibombef didn’t win the Nobel or fields.

no - true - but Dr Jekyll didn't win a Nobel prize...

You could bring some mosquitoes and get bitten by the Malaria infection or perhaps give yourself bacterial ulcers or something good. This isn't exciting enough.

Your argument seems to make sense to me - its what I would guess - its a lot like a normally aspirated engine works. However I would love to hear what ilovecornfields has to say on the topic since he is a flying actual doctor who is specifically interested in the topic.

Is that how it works? I know it is density altitude that counts for think about air foils and engine performance - but is it the same for the wetware? Is it density altitude that controls the quality of my biological (brain!) function? E

I have the exact model - its fantastic - especially because it is doing continuous O2Sat monitoring and vibrates when you are too low - like low 90s is it?

How fast is it? Range?

Don't get me started....You do know - I once posted a million digits of pi on this forum, and got a lot of flack from people for freezing their connections trying to download it all.

Pi Plane. N314EB is the Pi Plane. A biplane has 2 wings. A triplane has 3 wings. I have a Pi Plane.

It’s just over 1500nm home base kptd to Ksaf. Well driving google says 29 hrs - not even double the airline travel time.

...and as I write you from hours at the Denver airport - I wrote that my trip to Santa Fe by Bollt airlines was cancelled for an oil pressure issue from last week not yet fixed. So Ill complain a bit and remember why I love Bollt airlines. Instead on the standard airlines today - left the house at 430am to make my 8:25 flight out of Syracuse - its a 2:30 drive. Got a message on the phone 1 hour out that my flight was delayed 2 hours. Causing me to miss my connection from Denver to SAF. So now next flight - from Denver - I am sitting waiting 5 hours. So all in, assuming this goes on time, it will be 16 hours. I can do it in just over 8.5 hours on Bollt airlines. Tortiouse and the hare - just are so fast, but using them is so slow - unless I can afford 10 or 20 million for my own. Then it gets very fast.

That's what I see - we guarantee you can beat those numbers is all I got too. And I didn't find in my POH much about landing distance requirements. Just take off.

Sadly - I’m not flying myself to Saf tomorrow / and the weather is perfect for the trip! I am having an oil pressure issue then we couldn’t resolve in time. I bought an airline ticket yesterday. :-(

Does anyone know - how common and dangerous are medical conditions while driving - like what are the outcome prognosis of having a heart attack while driving on a crowded highway at 70mph? Do people pull over and slump over the steering wheel on the side? Or do they swerve into the other traffic and create a massive burning multi-car pile up? Knock on wood.

Im afraid not - I was just a kid - a grad student in applied math at the university.

Darn! You woulda seen me on the bike path round about 93-95.

I was there 90-95.

WOW - small world eh? Well I wouldn't say we were close friends - but we knew each other well enough that running into each other on a tram in Amsterdam - so out of context- we instantly knew who each other were. When were you at NIST? I was a PhD student at Boulder in the 1990s and mostly a bike racer, and track cycling, but I dabbled in speed skating ice and rollers. The closest to slippery feet - I still XC ski most day in the winter. I have my old skate stuff, ice and also long wheel rollers that bolt onto old school my bonts, but haven't skated in many years. And my short track blades I bent with a hammer. But I did meet my wife in the speed skating club! And we are still married 29 years later. :-)

No way - I used to know him a bit! I was a (crappy) roller blade racer in Boulder back when he lived there too in the mid 1990s - I knew him in Boulder - then one time when I was in Amsterdam hitting all the local ice speed skating venues, I ran into Eddie on a tram and he sat down next to me and we were amazed to run into each other!

I know - that famous advice....has occurred to me a few times in the last weeks. Good luck with that!

I flew yesterday in smoke that called itself 4mi viz which on ifr approach seemed a lot lower. Are the visibility reporting devices calibrated properly for smoke? Or are they mostly accurate only for moisture?

Wow! That is cool

Thanks - what you describe is what I expect. At this point I have no worries in the least for runway length at SAF but I am just continuing the discussion for learning sake to enumerate the changes in performance.

Thanks! Yeah I scoped out the activity on flight aware and yes indeed lots of jets. So folks - I am utterly confident the runways there are plenty plenty big since I have a good feeling I can land anywhere a 737 can land. But nonetheless - I would like to understand how this works. Just for learning sake. That Koch table - is that for engine performance or is that for performance of the air foils. -When landing say at 9000ft density altitude, I know our TAS is high as compared to sea level - as we still stall based on IAS or better yet, AO, but the moment the tires are on the ground, there is more speed for the brakes to dissipate. So is the Koch table the one that tells me the equivalent lengths? or is that for engine performance - of what - of NA? -Even a Turbo has diminished runway performance at altitude - yes power may be 100% same, but again, it takes more TAS to get off the ground since we leave the ground at a certain IAS, or better said AO. So again - is that AO? I just want to know for sure how this all works....just because I like to know stuff. E

It seems as if the Koch table should do everything I want - I was unaware of it when I first started this thread - but Im not yet confident Im using it correctly. If say I put 6349ft (KSAF altitude) as pressure altitude (assuming standard?) and I put 83F current temp (which is showing density altitude of 9088 from other means) and I get 6000 ft is like 2110ft equivalent at sea level - OUCH - Am I doing that correctly? that's worse than I guessed and I am glad I am asking this question.
