J/K!

The altitude of the rings are rock solid, as expected, and I can keep the gunsite on the center ring pretty well.. I have not looked at the data as to what my vairation of the alt was.. Not that it is not importnat, only that I know there will be some variation. What I am working on is a 'filter' that will not accept a TAS value as part of the MAX TAS per altitude if the ROC value is above a certain level.. That is to say if your are diving.. and pickup speed due to a shallow dive, the ROC value will be NOT be ZERO.. Thus if any TAS values that occur when the ROC is above a certain level will not be considered valid and thus not part of the MAS TAS graph.. Doing this will automatically remove any bad TAS values due to bad flying (i.e. not level flight).

That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
