Left downwind on a blustery day with live weather actually shows a virga burst over the field, with local winds gusting 36 knots, making for some extreme conditions in such a tight canyon. For the final approach, I calculated V REF of about 128 was fought with much shear, with airspeed variances of up to 20 to 30 knots, providing a wild ride.

The weather at Gatwick was good that morning: dry with temperatures of 18C (64F) and a headwind of 11 knots. For the passenger flight from London, England to Vancouver, Canada, V 1 was 160 knots and V R was 161 knots. They reached 160 knots, the calculated speed for V 1 , and the automated call-out was made.

Flight Design rates the F2 with the same 16-knot demonstrated crosswind component as the previous CTs. Flight Design can will the F2 with a GTN 650 in place of the 175, though Gutmann says hes also looking into using the Garmin GNX 375 GPS/transponder. Otherwise, the F2s flight deck layout is generally straightforward.

An approximate bank angle required for a standard rate turn can be obtained by dividing the True Airspeed (in knots) by 10 and then adding 7. For example, the bank angle required for an aircraft traveling at a True Airspeed of 120 knots is: 120/10 = 12 12 + 7 = 19 19 degrees Angle of Bank (AoB) required.
