QUESTION III
A C-130 pilot desires to fly a low-level navigation mission at 4 n miles/ min (240 kn ground speed). Winds are forecast out of the north (blowing south) at 20 kn, the pressure altitude is 10,000 ft, and the temperature is 80 °F. What indicated airspeed should the pilot fly on a northbound leg if the position error is negligible?
