* - Altimeter adjusted for Q.F.E. and touoh-down error as follows:
At take-off, with no flap, the altimeter reads -30 feet.
At touoh-down, with 60° flap, the altimeter reads -55 feet, so add two millibare to Q.F.E. to give zero reading at touoh-down.
Note: The above speeds should be increased by 5 m.p.h. for Mark IID and IV aircraft.
