Manstons surveyed elevation was 150ft during wartime and tides are never factored, an elevation is based on mean sea level i.e. the average of all tide heights.

are you guys using the density altitude conversion for the tests?
Hello .. know you are a pilot in real life, as I also am .... I wonder CLOD simulated the density of air?

When we tested only noted the IAS and TAS data calculated by default by this site http://www.csgnetwork.com/tasinfocalc.html

We are open to good tips please!

Thanks
