Only the oldest gliders don’t have speedbrakes such as the Schweitzer 2–33.
-
since we know that adding the additional flaps lowers the stalling speed, it must also increases lift
-
or fly gliders and learn to do autorotations in helicopters

A great landing starts with a great approach. part of flying a great approach Is configuring the airplane— brakes flaps gear trim — In preparation for landing. It’s really not that hard, But it does take practice and discipline

he just has amazing skills that he got from his mom. She learned to fly when he was an infant and she just buckled his car seat into the back seat of the plane during all her private, commercial, multi, instrument and CFI training

sent mine to @TrekLawler today

Yes, you can buy a device that plugs into your computer, which hold the data card, and then use the Garmin Aviation Database Manager to get the latest updates and program the card. https://fly.garmin.com/fly-garmin/garmin-aviation-database-manager/

hey folks -- I still have a bunch of avionics, gauges, and accessories for sale. Please have a look https://flamingo-parakeet-cnj9.squarespace.com/

oh, and to get the B clearance way north, its NY Approach, as you head south towards manhattan, its LGA tower, and further south its EWR tower, and vice versa
-
mistyped -- 1500MSL have never been denied the clearance

we need to have a spot landing contest! this is my son:
-
actually you're correct. kinetic is speed. without enough altitude and airspeed to make the airport, power will add energy into the system by reducing the descent rate.
-
in order to be at 75 over the fence, the plane need some combination of potential (speed+power) and kinetic (altitude) energy. my preference is for 0% engine and 100% kinetic, which I believe is a carry over from gliders, autorotations, and 3-point landings in the T-6, all of which are energy management exercises, and seem to reduce the amount of runway necessary for a short field (this topic) landing. i admit it may not work for everyone, and I don't claim its the "best" or "only" way
-
how does adding power help with ballooning? i would think that adding power would help with sink rather that lift?
-
don't argue about flaps either. AS REQUIRED evidently means whatever you feel like
-
I have heard many mooney drivers say they like to "carry a little power" on landing, but that never made sense to me. energy is energy, and its gotta bleed off before the plane will stop flying. I always fly the numbers, use full flaps, and pull the power once landing is assured.

Looking for CFI with Bravo/Ovation and G1000 Experience
rbp replied to Starlifter27's topic in Modern Mooney Discussion
I have always used 1550. Maybe I'm using more fuel, but the engine has been rock solid for 23 years. -
i usually ask for a Bravo clearance at 1500'. Less traffic.
-
I think because its a single-purpose device that larger + heavier than an iPad mini. Image for humor purposes only.
-
you can't be on the back side of the power curve if you don't have any power in , which is a fine way to make a steep approach and a short-field landing (on *speed*, please)
-
Please explain how one gets on the back side of the power curve on a steep approach at the recommended approach speed.
-
@TrekLawler ˙having similar issues (see my post above). Sent you a DM

there must be a plug-in for this system that downscales the images?
