Hi Bruce,

the Belgian NELOS federation (CMAS) advises a factor 1.5 , based on the 
US NAVY '93 tables.
The proplanner software will calculate a 6 m stop instead of one at 3 m 
for you when configured to do so. ( there's only one  parameter to configure 
fortunately).
If I remember it well, the latest BSAC tables give you the shallowest stops 
at 6 m also. Can anyone confirm this ?


By the way, welcome on the list!
