What temperature to use when calculating TFD to climb
Asked by: murryn5 2062 views Private Pilot, Student Pilot
Riddle says to: Find the difference between standard temperature and actual temperature for both cruise and departure pressure altitudes. Then, find the average of the differences and increase TFD numbers according to the note in the POH.
Will my examiner be ok with me using the average temperature (standardized) or should the standardized surface temperature be used since that is more conservative?
