: the Hurricane airspeed indicator provides indicated air sp
: eed as does any pitot static ASI...to get to true requires
: the following steps.....add Pressure error correction and
: instrument error to get calibrated, add scale altitude ef

: d by root sigma to get TAS!! (But I feel you may already k
: now that).

Forgive my ignorance. What does IC stand for?

: Regarding the handling and perf reports contact the Inform
: ation Centre (library to you or me!) at QinetiQ Boscombe D
: own. The old A&AEE Bosocmbe Down did all these tests you n
: eed data on and the reports (or copies thereof) are in the
: IC. Incidentally, the IC also holds data for most of the
: aircraft types that were ever tested by dear old A&AEE.
