Summary of 60:1 Rules & Formulas

Just posted on http://www.herk-gouge.com/. This is a summary of the 60:1 rule found in AFMAN 11-217 Vol 2., Chapter 6. It's more applicable to the C-130 than other airframes.

Jim, an instrument ground school instructor as Arizona State University, brought an error to my attention. In my attempt to type up my paper gouge, I accidentally transposed the Standard and Half-Standard Rate Turn formulas. He must be a good instructor, because his class pointed out my error. Remember, "You Live and Die by the Gouge," but thanks to people like Jim and his class...we can live another day. I appreciate all feedback to any gouge posted on this blog, on my website herk-gouge.com or The Air Force Portal's "The Herk Zone". Thanks.

The 60:1 Summary has been updated.
