Is 25 seconds the normal time to climb to 400 feet?

Would you consider this normal P speed, or does it seem a little slow?

No.

Slow.

Should be 9.8 feet higher if it’s a P4 (max ascent in P mode = 5ms).

P3 should climb 5 M/s or 16.5ft sec so 25secs is about right 400/16.5= 24.25secs

Seriously, 9.8 ft higher? lol

Sounds about right. Takes about that for me in the slightly thinner air of 5,000 feet. Might be a bit snappier at lower elevations.

I now see who didn't weedout before math class
