Can anybody tell me what the speed to fly in an ASW15 is to achieve minimum sink rate.
Cheers

Good evening Clinton

The minimum sinkrate = 0.63m/s and is reached at
the speed of 77 km/h

Thanks Andre
So Best L/D is 48knots
Min sink is 42 knots
Therefore best to fly in lift at 42knots with 0 degrees bank.
At a bank of 30 degrees fly at 46knots
At a bank of 45 degrees fly at 50knots
At a bank of 60 degrees fly at 59knots
Would you all agree?
Clinton
