Still with the conversion it's not much. I think its knots X 1.5 will give you mphs. WVO would know.

Hard time?

Air speed: 130 kt. on touchdown.

Wind speed: 129 kt.


Ground speed: 1 kt.


What's the problem............


(steady wind of 129 kt. on the nose........of course).

The one called the CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) sure does.

All 121 air cariers are equipt with two "black boxes".
The FDR (Flight Data Recorder)
and the CVR.
