A fellow pilot pointed me to this website after showing him the picture of my groundspeed last week. It seems I’ve captured the fastest groundspeed in the EMB-145 so far. Records are meant to be broken so I’ll have to enjoy the fame and fortune while it lasts. 😉 😀

Middle age allows me to find Carol Vorderman VERY attractive!

(0 degrees Centigrade = +273 degrees Absolute)
someone swallowed a “maths by vordeman!” book 😀

The nautical and statute mile are the same length no matter how fast you’re going. 🙂 Now if you’re referring to Indicated Airspeed (or Equivilant Airspeed) than you’re opening up a whole other can of worms. 😉

1.15 is the rough conversion factor to mph. So just add 15% to the GS.
628 knots
10% = 62
half of that (5%) = 31
add those together = 93
add that to the GS = 721 mph

Here pilots, when im on an easyJet flight the pilot usually comes on and says we are travelling 5XX mph. How do you work out it in miles per hour? an ATC told me you times by 1.15 or 1.17 or something but unsure.

37,000 is it so it only be a record that is routinely tied but not broken. 🙂

Hem, ERJ have max ceiling of 37.000 feet, am I right?

Nice one WD, now how about trying for the altitude record!;)
