outside air temperature
Dear Troels:
Thank you for your description of the flight. I was wondering if you read the outside air temperature at 11,000 feet during the cruise portion of the flight. The absolute minimum I would calculate would be -10C at Wabush minus 3C per 1000 ft = -43C assuming dry adiabatic lapse rate. Given the moisture at the departure, the actual ambient temperature could have been higher, perhaps between -28C and -43C at 11,000 ft altitude. Did you see any variations in fuel flow before failure? Regards, Brian |
