Of course you are correct. Throttle position is essential in that example.
I wasn't aware that some of the sensors are so inaccurate. I have a variometer for my glider and it is incredibly accurate, move it one foot and by gosh it's reported to the transmitter. I assumed the other sensors were as accurate.
I wonder if the airspeed sensor accuracy problem is more a function of installation and not the sensor itself?
What you are observing is resolution, not accuracy. From Wikipedia : In the fields of
science,
engineering,
industry, and
statistics, the
accuracy of a
measurement system is the degree of closeness of measurements of a
quantity to that quantity's actual (true)
value.[SUP]
